Warning: Reading this post will expose you to severe whining, complaining, venting, etc, etc

Okay. I know I said that I really didn't want Hunter to be a baby model so I wasn't so sure about the whole contest anyway, but can we talk about the serious idiots that must work for KISS FM? I can't even begin to explain the madness that is their voting system for this thing. They have 17 galleries of photos, and Hunter's gallery (number 4 in case you wanted to vote on him so he can be a horrid baby model - oh wait, that's right, you can't vote on his gallery because the good person that organized the contest doesn't know what he is doing - see below) has 277 photos. For those of you who aren't math geniuses, that would be around 4700 photos. Yes. FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED. WHAT! It's not even that great of a prize. I mean don't get me wrong I'd love $5000 and a trip to Mexico, but like every parent in DFW must have entered their kid in this contest.

I digress. Here's where the frustration comes in. When you go to vote for the contest the photos are separated into 17 galleries, and then you have to scroll through the first 20 photos in that gallery before you can even click on the link to vote for that gallery. Well Hunter's gallery is stupid and when you click on the link, all of the pictures pop up but there is no where to click to vote and nowhere to put your email address. The others are working. How do I know? Because my sweet friend Erin sent an email to her friends with the link to vote on her son because she was on of the other 4700 moms that entered her kissable baby. I, on the other hand, will not be emailing my friends because I refuse to beat them down with the craziness of this voting system. Oh yeah and there was that whole thing about freaking out that I entered my son in a modeling contest. So over that now. Too frustrated to let parental guilt take over.

Thanks bloggy friends, for listening to my tirade. I feel much calmer.

Ok, I totally just emailed you about this. Kiss FM is really frustrating me right now. I thought I was just being dumb and couldn't figure it out. Glad it's not just me ;). Kiss FM obviously knows that Hunter is absolutely the most Kissable baby and that's why they have rigged the contest so that we cannot vote for him!

It is better today. Last night when I voted, I freaked out and tried to vote again and it said something like you cannot vote again today. Today I have voted from my yahoo and my work email. Ok, I am a crazy Nana because I have emailed it to my friends, told them he is #61 and told them how to vote! Today it doesn't email you back, it just accepts you vote. There are a ton of Haley's spelled all different ways! Did you notice that? Yes, it is crazy how many babies there are. BUT did you see any others with a Dallas Cowboy dband?

In Hunter's group baby #111 Jackson Cotten has a Cowboys docband like Hunter.
