On NBC's Olympics website, they've got a poll asking what sport people are most looking forward to seeing during the Olympics. Currently, curling is winning by a wide margin. I'm not sure whether their coverage plans are set in stone or whether they might adjust to reflect this admittedly limited form of viewer feedback, but in case the coverage might in some way reflect the results of this poll, I thought maybe someone who knows how to do this could write a program to stuff the results a bit. ![B-]](http://elf.elynah.com/smileys/11.gif "B-]")

Also, this is a poll on WNBC's website, the local NBC affiliate for NYC. The national NBC Olympic website hasn't officially launched yet: [www.nbcolympics.com]

*rimshot*. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
BTW, if you mean stuff the results to boost curling even more, I'm all for it! It was an absolute blast to watch back in 2002, and more of it in 2006 would be great.

Curling seems to be doing fine in that poll already (perhaps due to some ballot-stuffing of its own).

Heh. As of now cross country skiing tops hockey more than 3 to 1.

Hockey 55108 29%
Curling 43414 22%
Figure Skating 28750 15%
X-country Skiing 21718 11%
Alpine Skiing 16415 9%
The rest are all below 5%

Huh, must've been ballot stuffing by Curling and Cross Country Skiing messages boards 
Because somehow I doubt that even eLynah is capable of pulling 57,000 votes
