OK, I’m mad. The Pulse staff are clearly biased against glitter wearers. They are anti-glitterites of the highest order. In Thursday’s Pulse, the “15 Minutes” feature had a survey on glitter use. Their obviously-biased survey found 64 percent of respondents thought glitter was pesky, as opposed to 36 percent who thought it was pretty. This is a concerted effort to eliminate glitter from our rave-cool world, and I’ll have no part of it.
So I did my own poll, using advanced randomizer statistical techniques (such as finding people who didn’t run from me) and a cross-pollinated sampling of the student body (pollinating a student body is fun), and here’s what I found:
Out of 30 responses, 19 thought glitter was “fun” or they “love it.” That’s 63.333 percent in favor of glitter. Seven people thought glitter is “dumb” or “juvenile” or “trying too hard” (that’s 23.333 percent opposed, y’all). And four people were indifferent or said it depended on the circumstances (13.333 percent). For some weirdos, everyday glitter is not copacetic, but on special occasions it passes muster.
My findings plainly dispute the Pulse staff’s efforts, and you’ll notice that my survey is much more science-dude-like, because I had three possible responses, not just a measly two (plus, I used three decimal places in my percentages). I guess this clears that up. Glitter rocks!
In case you still doubt the supremacy of glitter, just listen to the wisdom of Frog: “I think it’s a great accessory. Nobody should be without glitter!”
