The poll is not a Hot Deal, so shouldn't it go here?

Let people post what they feel is a hot deal freely, and let the users bury the post with (-) if they disagree that it is a hot deal.

IF it's a hot deal, and the discussion pertains to the deal and not political discussion, why not? I LOLed at the Obama Waffle deal. Waiting for the McCain frozen fries reply to it.

How about looking at the problem, which is not the deal itself, but the wankers thread crapping these deals.

Go for it, it never hurts to have a little comic relief. At least as long as people can manage to not take personally the jabs being taken at their chosen candidate and refrain from trying to retaliate here.

Politics belongs in the "Raw deals" forum.

I'm kind of on the fence about this: Yeah, sometimes the deals are kind of funny, and the infighting that follows is often funnier. But I'm sick of seeing politics EVERYWHERE. Can't there just be this little oasis of politic-free deals?

That's a nice thought, but the problem is that these threads are usually about as funny as they are hot, i.e., not. Not because I don't have a sense of humor—I appreciate satire and irony as much as the next guy—the execution is just usually bad.
