The final results of the first round:
Stephen Colbert híd 17231724 [53%]
Zrínyi híd 2062649 [6%]
Pató Pál - híd 1805118 [6%]
Bethlen Gábor - híd 1735587 [5%]
Hunyadi Mátyás - híd 1478020 [5%]
Perl-Script híd 1425251 [4%]
Mészáros híd 1048758 [3%]
Batthyány Lajos híd 884967 [3%]
Szent Korona - híd 724859 [2%]
Bocskai István - híd 712404 [2%]
Szent István - híd 711382 [2%]
Now for the second round, the top 25 will be voted on but you must register in order to vote. This is done to slow down all those cheating to get Colbert number one. The Hungarian Government was supposed to select the name from the top three, of a bridge that is taken longer to build than planned, but they don't have to.
"An American comedian has won the name-giving constest, ahead of *******Zrinyi
The name-giving contest of the M0 Bridge became an international performance in the last couple of days. The most famous comic in the US, Stephen Colbert, on his show, has asked his viewers to vote for him. The part got onto the internet and Colbert has grabbed the first place on the last day. The ministry has closed the voting after 11am, 23 million people have clicked. From Tuesday afternoon, votes can be casted on the promoted 25 names but only after registration.
János Kóka[minister of transportation] has released the genie from the bottle, when he announced on the 21st of july that the ministry is asking for votes for the name of the M0 bridge. Eventhough the initiative possibly was only a cover up on the fact that the bridge opening will be delayed by 8 months, the buzz of the internet vote got out to the world, as news agencies reported on Chuck Norriss performance, and now it got world famous
Colbert asked them to vote for him
Because the most well-known US comedian, Stephen Colbert has dealt with the issue on his program and asked the viewers to vote for him. Colbert explained in great detail how to vote so they can make a gift to the Hungarian nation this way. Meanwhile, the viewers could merely laugh on the pronunciation of the Hungarian words and on the presentation of the losing Chuck Norris portrait. However on the next days show, when Colbert picked up the issue again saying that the difference is smaller, they could laugh on that he called the poor hero of Szigetvár an *******. His website also had vote-manipulating software.
Colberts request or the video of it got onto the net on 16. Aug. The American comedian got into the first place in two days, the number of his supporters increasing enormously. On Tuesday morning his tally has expanded by two hundred thousand in two minutes, partly because of the voting software."
