LIVE POLL: 2034 World Cup?

@cinephile​ 

Yay, it's cool! :D

Sounds unrealistic.

@Peter_pbn​ 

On the moon. Would be funny, I guess. :D

@Peter_pbn​ Added.

@Breumaster​ Changed it to inside of the Moon because of how bad/cheesy Moonfall supposedly is.

@Tsarstepan​ 

What about North Korea?

I think your idea is very satirical. Why shouldn't IMDb make some fun on the FIFA, they should be good enough to take some critic's views on it. Else they only would reveal how unhumorous they are. Ok, it's not neutral state, yes. But satire is a kind of art, which shouldn't be taken too seriously. Your idea provides fun, I guess even for soccer fans.

@Breumaster​ It's intended to be satirical. I'll look into adding North Korea via that Seth Rogen Interview film. 

@Tsarstepan​ 

The movie is playing with all stereotypes about that country. I laughed my a** off. ;D

@mariojacobs​ ,

Escape from New York was primarily filmed in St. Louis.

@riverotter​ Added.

@jeorj_euler​ Added Panem to the list.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ Added the Alice in Wonderland option.

@Jessica​ Thanks. I edited both the list and the thread's text accordingly.

@Tsarstepan​ ,

I fully realize that this is a satirical poll. However, the phrase "authoritarian state of Saudi Arabia" may test the limits of what we should write in a live poll. Maybe "state of Saudi Arabia" would be better.

@dan_dassow​ I figure that might be the case. So, I'm down with changing the phrasing of the text.

I always wondered the same thing about this poll suggestion, Dan Dassow, but I wasn't sure that the word "authoritarian", as a noun or adjective, is inherently demeaning, yet there was still the matter of factual accuracy, also things like fairness and consistency. If the Saudi supreme law of the Saudi lands doesn't regard the Saudi sovereign government as authoritarian by any stretch of the word, then it might indeed be problematic to simultaneously lay that label upon it and continue doing business with institutions (municipalities, corporations, charities etc.) based out of Saudi Arabia. The same awkward tradeoff (jam), so to speak, exists with several other nations (e.g. the People's Republic of China) as well, to the point that corporations based in the Western bloc can only really comfortably label in the most unflattering ways the nations that already have embargoes placed against them by enough of the governments of the Western bloc nations.

Thanks Dan.
