I refuse to accept the result of the 1959 Miss Rheingold contest!
I have multiple reasons to object that rigged election. Here are some of my reasons:
- The election was conducted in bars and other premises that serve or sell alcoholic beverages. Which meant that any DRUNK could cast a ballot unopposed.
- There were no provisions for keeping people from voting MORE THAN ONCE.
- There were no provisions for keeping drinkers of OTHER BEERS from voting.
- The ballot boxes were UNSECURED and could be tampered with overnight.
- The ballot itself was FLAWED. The eventual winner, Robbin Bain, was optimally placed—top row, center—to attract voters.
- To further indicate that there was a major conspiracy involving Miss Bain’s candidacy, she was hired by NBC—MAINSTREAM MEDIA—after completing her tenure as Miss Rheingold.*
If Rheingold beer was not extinct, I would urge you to join me in a nationwide boycott of the brand.
