I, a runner, have a shot at being on MTV's Real World

Dudes, he's getting absolutely dominated. It was a good run while it lasted, but I don't see how he's going to make up a 4,000 (and growing) vote gap. Perhaps he can dazzle the producers in the interview... that seems about his only hope.

I will refuse to give up so long as he is being beat by a gay dude or woman. If they were beating you in a race would you quit?

The only guy who's getting away is that hippy at number one, I can't imagine where all the votes are coming from. Eric is actually catching the other ones in the top 5 pretty quickly.

the latest video is horrible. It is so not funny that I think he will actually get the pity vote. I also feel that if he suddenyl anounces he is gay, or is daring enough to post a video of him kissing another guy he will jump up a few spots.

Well, I think one definitely has to have a particularly strange and silly sense of humor if one is to enjoy the new video. Thanks for your honesty. I feel that I'm doing great overall, though, and I appreciate all the support. Votes get erased after a certain round, so I'm quite pleased with where I am at this point.

See, that's not the type of attitude that is going to win over the Dyestat crowd and pave your way to overwhelming victory. Pleased with 5th place? Pre never would have issued such a statement! It's gotta be victory or death, kiddo. Anything less is to sacrifice the gift.

bump

C'mon you people!!! He's in 5th place, less than 400 votes behind the gal in 4th!!! WE MUST GET HIM IN 4TH PLACE BY THE END OF SATURDAY!!! VOTE NOW!!!

Jason

I voted 4 times this week

Am I one of about fifty people who are actually voting for him daily? COME ON LETSRUN!!!!!

I voted for him and will continue to do so, Cmon letsrun lets get one of our own on there!

I have been voting once a day, everyday in this thread started. Hopefully we can get this guy to the top, or at least close to it.....I doubt he will make the show, but we can at least try our best!

I made up a bunch of names and voted.

Eric is very hot!

the site should put this on front page!

Agreed -- you're a total hottie, E! Wish I was a few years younger (and yes, I'm a woman!) ;-) Here's hoping you get on the show -- make us proud.

That's not good enough. If you're not voting at least 3 times per day, then you're not really helping.

i think he would appreciate every vote

yeah eventually the votes will add up!! It took a lot of people to get it that high.

Dude it is not about humor. You are a guy trying to get a spot on a show that predominantly has attractive, loose girls. The stereotype has been defined by MTV very well and their voting public is dominated by that stereotype. I don't think any girl, even if she thinks your hot, is going to get the whole I used to play with He-Man thing. Don't worry though you'll have a large number of shut-in boys voting for you. Tell me you at least had to call home to get that Skeletor unearthed from your parents' basement and that it wasn't just within arms reach from your bed.Dude...like I have said...I am voting for you. But up your game...seriously. Almost every bit of voting from Lets Run/Dyestat has to do with you being a runner (and this post), and not because you have a 'naughty' video filming Michaelangelo's masterpiece. You know, all those girls love anything that has to do with the 'sixteenth' chapel.Listen...you put this post here. You're getting support from us. I am voting daily only because I want to see running represented well. This is largely why you are doing as well as you are. Please...do a proper video of you being awesome...please be funny in a sexy way rather than like a 'particular strange and silly' way. Little kids say 'poop' and giggle but I don't think they are watchign Real World.This is what your latest video says, as deciphered through Semiotic analysis. 'Hi. I spend most nights in front of the computer with my pants at my ankles. Oh, but i've got that kinky side too because my He-Man figures watch me....cough...She-Ra, I mean..." I'd say 50% chance probability that you have Kobra Khan's action-pump head filled with Astro Glide. Hey Pinches of POwer baby!Anyway...Go Eric Hack!

You know, I've tried several times since this thread started to vote, both on my home and work computers, and I can not get registered. The friggin' MTV site will not accept any login name or password or email address I plug in.

I was about to get all worked up about this, when it hit me: the complete meaninglessness of this whole exercise. I have never been moved to vote for an American Idol contestant. So why would I waste even a moment helping someone other nincompoop get on a show I don't and won't watch?

Sorry, Hack. But I don't understand why you're motivated to do this. I mean, you seem like a pretty smart guy. I presume many of the people who have voted for you are also not (all) dumbasses, but yet they're taking part in this pointless farce.

There are countless ways to waste one's time. I'll pick some other way, thank you.
