What's with the profuse amount of bigotry in polls?

I'm sick of seeing these biased polls where the poll-starter states his desired option, and an option that is opposite of what he believes, so he contaminates it with contemptuous remarks.

I hate that! Who else feels the same way? Oh, and I also included a (humorous) poll to clarify what I mean.

"Profuse"? I thought that word was only used for sweat-related situations.

I voted for the third option because I like self-referential irony.

Nope, it isn't limited to that.

I prefer to insult my own viewpoints in polls because I need to get my required dose of self-loathing in every day.
Other people use the insults as a way to gain the center ground. Remember, the Internets are a War, and ever thread is a battlefield in that massive struggle of Communism vs Capitalism; Unfunny vs Funny; Quick vs Dead. The goal of each and every debate is to gain the upper hand, proving once again that your penis is bigger than that of the opposition, before moving on to gloat about your victories to the other members of your WoW Clan.

I should start a poll about my penis size. All in favor?

I would so sig that, if only I had a sig. *sighs*
Anyway, seconding the motion on the condition that the options must be:
1. CS's penis is bigger than my tiny penis
2. CS's penis is bigger than my large penis
3. CS's penis is bigger than my head
4. I don't care how big it is, if you try and put it in there again I'll chop it off.

As long as you use the metric system, so it's easier for to know if whether it is half of mine or less.

You fool, using the metric system makes your penis smaller, everyone knows that.

Do astronomical units count as metric?

Yeah, but it gets smaller in centimeters. That's an essential advantage if you're European.

I feel a poll-ish joke coming.
At the Olympics a woman sees a man walking past carrying a long pole.
She asks him, "Are you a Pole Vaulter?"
He replies,"No, I am German. But how did you know my name was Walter?"

Pah! My penis is measured in five dimensions!

(And actually, a parsec is a unit of distance.)

The reason for the biased poll options is because people are trying to force their opinion on you by disguising it as a poll.

Pwned.
