 Boat needs a name, right? Why not put it to a public vote, yea?

 Now, in the grand scheme of Internet shenanigans, "Boaty McBoatface" is not really that bad. In this writer's opinion, it's actually pretty great.

 Thus far, Boaty McBoatface has a commanding lead with more than 21,000 votes.

 The vote has spurred a hashtag — #BoatyMcBoatface of course — and even caused intermittent outages for its website.

What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?
– When the Natural Environment Research Council in the UK put the naming of its $300 million Antarctic survey vessel to a public vote online, well, the Internet had a little fun. NERC asked for "an inspirational name that exemplifies the work" the ship will do, and suggestions ranged from the, yes, inspirational ("Henry Worsley," the former British Army officer and explorer who died in January trying to cross Antarctica without aid) to the literal ("It's bloody cold out here") and the snarky ("Notthetitanic"). But the current front-runner is "Boaty McBoatface," reports the Independent. The name has garnered 21,000-plus votes, nearly 10 times as many as the second highest "Henry Worsley." The NERC has set April 16 as a deadline and noted that it will choose the name. Meanwhile, the communications manager who submitted Boaty McBoatface has since apologized, though it's not likely to disappear—it's even got its own Twitter hashtag. Still, in the realm of Internet silliness and snark, things could be worse. People once responded to Mountain Dew's call for a new flavor name with "Hitler did nothing wrong" and "Fapple," notes Mashable. And even though Boaty McBoatface is far from the "inspirational name" that NERC called for, it's become popular enough to have caused multiple traffic outages and brought attention to a ship that may otherwise have gone under the radar.

Läs mer Det finns få regler på Internet, men jag tror att vi alla kan enas om detta: Lägg aldrig saker och ting på en offentlig omröstning på nätet. Naturmiljöforskningsrådet lär sig den läxan, men det kan bli mycket värre. NERC, som är en oberoende miljövetenskaplig organisation i Storbritannien, håller på att bygga ett nytt undersökningsfartyg för 300 miljoner dollar i Antarktis. Båten behöver väl ett namn? Varför inte rösta offentligt? Storbritanniens nya lantmäterifartyg ska byggas här @CammellLaird . Man kan döpa den till #NameOurShip @BBCNWT pic.twitter.com/c9a7cHFuk1 — Mark Edwardson (@markedtv) 17 mars 2016 Tja, allmänheten röstar överväldigande för att döpa fartyget till "Boaty McBoatface." Nu, i den stora planen av Internet shannaigans, "Boaty McBoatface" är inte riktigt så illa. Enligt den här författaren är det faktiskt ganska bra. När allt är detta samma Internet som svarade på en befordran för att namnge en ny smak av Mountain Dew med "Hitler gjorde inget fel" och "Fapple." Andra exempel på Internetröster som gått fruktansvärt fel är en befordran som slutade med att underhållaren Pitbull skickades till en Walmart i Alaska. Hittills har Boaty McBoatface en befälsledning med mer än 21 000 röster. Nästa konkurrent, Henry Worsley, en upptäcktsresande och före detta brittisk officer som dog i januari under ett försök att bli den första personen att korsa Antartica utan hjälp, har lite mer än 2 700 röster. Omröstningen har sporrat en hashtag — #BoatyMcBoatface naturligtvis — och även orsakat intermittenta avbrott för sin webbplats. På grund av en stor mängd trafik kan vissa användare ha problem med att använda #NameOurShip site. Var snälla och ha tålamod med oss. — NERC (@NERCscience) 20 mars 2016 Sista ansökningsdag är 16 april. Båten är planerad att sätta segel 2019. Vad är en sammanfattning av ovanstående artikel?

– När Natural Environment Research Council i Storbritannien lade namngivningen av sina 300 miljoner dollar Antarktisundersökningsfartyg på en offentlig omröstning på nätet, ja, Internet hade lite roligt. NERC bad om "ett inspirerande namn som exemplifierar arbetet" fartyget kommer att göra, och förslag sträckte sig från det, ja, inspirerande ("Henry Worsley", den tidigare brittiska arméofficeren och upptäcktsresanden som i januari försökte korsa Antarktis utan hjälp) till det bokstavliga ("Det är blodigt kallt här ute") och det snoriga ("Notthetitanic"). Men den nuvarande föregångaren är "Boaty McBoatface", rapporterar den oberoende. Namnet har fått 21 000-plus röster, nästan 10 gånger så många som näst högsta "Henry Worsley." NERC har satt 16 april som en deadline och noterat att man kommer att välja namnet. Under tiden har kommunikationschefen som skickade in Boaty McBoatface bett om ursäkt, även om det inte är troligt att det kommer att försvinna – det har till och med fått en egen Twitter hashtag. Men när det gäller Internets dumhet och snobb kunde det ändå vara värre. Folk svarade en gång på Mountain Dews uppmaning om ett nytt smaknamn med "Hitler gjorde inget fel" och "Fapple", konstaterar Mashable. Och även om Boaty McBoatface är långt ifrån det "inspirationsnamn" som NERC efterlyste, har det blivit populärt nog att ha orsakat flera trafikavbrott och uppmärksammat ett fartyg som annars kan ha gått under radarn.
