On a semi-related music note, Dani Filth has lost out on becoming Suffolks Icon through no fault of his own but through the bastardnism of the judging committee.

But 13,025 clicked on a snap of Dani Filth, 37-year-old frontman with local band Cradle Of Filth, whose twisted album titles include Cruelty And The Beast.

Dani's image polled six times as many votes as the next most popular icon.

Yet chiefs IGNORED the rocker when they compiled their final shortlist of 20 images, which includes racing at Newmarket, Ipswich Waterfront and beach huts.

Choose Suffolk spokesman Richard Ginger said last night: "I don't want to speak about the decision of the judging panel."
13,025 people and I was one of those cunts. Me and 13,024 other people wasting our time to see the legend achieve his next to Godly status (despite the award being related to Suffolk.) Clearly if this person achieved six times as many votes in a poll, the majority of people would rather go to this desolate shithole BECAUSE of this person.

Not that I really give a shit but lyk srsly, if you're going to hold a fucking polling contest at least stick to your guns and keep the winner in his rightful plinth and not knock him off because he might be a little to 'grotesque' for a barren wasteland.

Really, all of this was an excuse for me to post moar Cradle.
