It smacks of flippancy. I can see that side of it.

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.

It could have been worse. Something to think about when vesting the masses with the power to decide.

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