Hungarian bridge update

You may or may not have heard a while back about a government ministry in Hungary conducting an internet poll to name a new bridge... and the Chuck Norris Bridge was leading the vote.

Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report picked up the story, and urged his viewers to start voting for the Stephen Colbert Bridge instead.

I can only guess that either Hungarians started to get offended by this because Hungarian names started to become the frontrunners in the voting. Either that or perhaps the ministry decided to start rigging the vote. (Scandalous!) I was rooting for Chuck, of course.

Here's an update on the voting as of today:
