Social Voting Tournaments - Hottest College Girl of 2008? Really? (GALLERY)

Is this for real? At the top of digg today was a post of the ”Hottest College Girl of 2008” with an incredible 2279 diggs! That’s incredible, and goes to show where the interests of web surfers are. It also illustrates the likelihood that the majority of digg users must be male.

So, you’re eager to know who this girl is?

Her name’s Alison, and she won $10,000 and a trip to NYC where CollegeHumor will throw a party in her honor.

“I fear not accomplishing what I’m passionate about,” Alison says. “I want so badly to do well in college, and it’s my biggest fear not accomplishing those kinds of life goals. It’s so important to me to finish college so I can do something I have a genuine passion for. I think that’s a really important part of life: doing what you love. Um, I also freak the hell out when people point rubber bands at me like they’re going to shoot them at me. I mean I FREAK out. I run and hide.”

The general consensus by a lot of diggers, particularly other females, is that they personally know much more deserving women of the prize.

That doesn’t matter though. What’s interesting about this is that the appeal of Hotornot.com style social voting sites continues strongly!
