Shawn Johnson or Nastia Liukin? The Ultimate Teenage Boy Debate.
So who have teenage boys been casting their votes around and throwing their support around? No, not Barack Obama and definitely not John McCain. Try Olympic Gold-Medalist gymnasts, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. The biggest debate ever has been repeated over and over again when a group of boys see each other in the hallway, at the mall, or at someone's house; "Who's better, Shawn Johnson or Nastia Liukin?".
Ever since the Beijing Olympics have ended I've participated in so many Nastia and Shawn debates, it's ridiculous! Although Shawn Johnson is an Obama supporter, I've been a Nastia fanboy because of her complete dominance in the olympics, gold medals win me over...
The debate is finally starting to lose its popularity and its steam, so I decided to get everyone's final word on the epic debate. I polled just about every dude in all my classes, asked some people on facebook, sent out mass text messages (reply with 2 for Shawn, 1 for Nastia),set up a poll at RootZoo, and set up a thread on Yahoo! Answers. So after 1 day polling, here are the results:
Shawn Johnson-52 Votes
Nastia Liukin-48 Votes
You may ask, well, what do you mean by better? I replied with, whatever you want to judge them on, looks, skills, or both. Here are some of the comments that people had go with their vote. As you can see, there is really still no general consensus, so the debate rages on...
Shawn Johnson: "Her left eyebrow. Have you seen it? It's amazing" -Jeff
