Just for the record, there were a few other 'worst ever' megapolls from the early days:

My favorite was the Worst Pop Song of All Time (Megapoll Control tag just added); final here.

Worst Christmas Song; final here.

There was an attempt at a Worst Thing of All Time megapoll (Megapoll Control tag just added), but it petered out early because voting for stuff like Nazi atrocities and terminal diseases in a bracket tournament set-up wasn't much fun. There was a second attempt (Megapoll Control tag just added) where all the entries were more lighthearted; I had forgotten this but that actually made it to a final.

The Presidential Megapoll (Megapoll Control tag just added) included a losers bracket in order to cleverly determine both the Best President (final here) and Worst President (final here). This megapoll took place in 2013 so Worst President was not who you might have first thought of.

And there were at least a couple of proposed "Worst Ever" megapolls that never made it past the spitballing stage. For example, some idiot proposed a Worst Corporate Logo megapoll but abandoned the idea when the nominations were few and most went to never-heard-of organizations that had logos that inadvertently looked like boobs.
