Shameless Plea for Ballot Box Stuffing

Jones Soda is running a contest over at its website for photos to put on it new soda bottles. For those of you who don't know, Jones Soda is the company that brought you carbonated Turkey and Gravy flavored soda last November for those who want their turkey and Alka-Seltzer in one gulp. Their more-or-less traditional flavors include FuFu Berry and cream soda, and at one point they made a very nice ginger beer that I am not sure whether they still make or not. They sell the sodas exclusively in glass bottles with artsy photos on the label.

Now for the point. A very nice young lady named Claire has entered several photos in the contest.

Yes, these are blatant popularity contests that may or may not be based on the quality of the photographs. Be that as it may, Claire has a great eye for a moment and a photo, so this is more than a blatant plea for ballot-box stuffing. That's not to say this isn't a blatant call for people to click on over and give Claire's photos high marks. Why are you all still reading this and not over there voting right now?
