Macro’d Britney?

Every now and then when I’m checking out our web server logs I stumble across an unusual referrer. Today I was surprised to see a referral from a Britney Spears fansite. With a quick glance over my shoulder to make sure no one was looking I clicked the link and checked it out. I discovered a number of forum posts recommending the use of Macro Scheduler for automatically voting for Britney in various MTV music awards! Yes, fans have been creating macros to run for hours on end, submitting votes on the MTV website! I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Am I in some strange, small way, responsible for Britney’s success? In truth I would have thought that MTV would have some way of detecting automated voting, or would discard multiple votes in short succession from the same computer. But who knows? Is Macro Scheduler to thankblame for the state of Teen Pop today?
