Have you looked at Denver at Phoenix? I'd never even heard of their landmarks, so no choice was obvious there. You're right on the mark for St. Louis. But you know the truth and I know the truth: this voting thing is just a marketing gimmick to draw attention to the game. I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise. Would you? Prentiss: Baghdad Edition... HAAAAA HA! HA! HA! (I still want to play the Spongebob Edition.) Hey, Stephen. Have you looked at Denver at Phoenix?

Prentiss: Baghdad Edition… HAAAAA HA! HA! HA!

(I still want to play the Spongebob Edition.)

If you look at each city's landmarks, one of the three choices is SUPER obvious each time and wins overwhelmingly. Who wouldn't choose the Gateway Arch for St. Louis? And please God people, don't let Kemah Boardwalk win. The last thing Tillman needs is more publicity. Hmmm….This whole concept of voting turns out to be relatively pointless.

But it turns out that the city landmarks are just for a special "Here and Now Edition". It'll line up next to the existing editions for specific cities, sports teams, the Simpsons, what have you -- maybe it's time for a Baghdad edition? Just so they still offer the classic edition, I don't care... You scared me — I thought they were going to ditch the classic street names for this scheme.
