So. The boat is internet famous and every time it does something notable the internet will have a high level of interest. Or they can name it something different and become something no one gives a shit about. I think the notoriety out weighs the flippancy by leaps and bounds.

Also, they asked the internet to name it. It could have been a lot worse.

True democracy is mob rule. That seems good when the mob isn't after you.
