Cast your vote for Spider-Man box ... in the trash

It's Florida 2000 all over again: You show up to seizecontrol.com hoping to exercise your democratic right to vote for the lesser of two wacknesses and you exit having accomplished zilch. We're referring, of course, to Activision's new user-generated ~~content~~ marketing campaign for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, which is currently giving the community the power to choose the game's box art. (The correct answer is "shake-to-make-it-snow globe holding" Spider-Man over "dude, check my dual-action sleeve tats" Spider-Man, btw.)

Remember kids, always read the fine print: "Activision shall not be bound by the outcome of the community vote and Activision's decision(s) and selection(s) shall be final and binding." And here we thought our clicks still stood for something!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! more Sniktbub!!!!! WHY??????? Haven't we suffered enough????? Why an awful videogame to the coolest comic book hero ever with the most awful one!!!??? curse you sniktbub!!!!

Both make me want to strangle a puppy. Twice.

I declare joystiq hold a spider man web of shadows box art design contest. Winner gets a free copy of the game, courtsy of joystiq, when the game is released. As a bonus, we as a community will try and push them to make it the REAL boxart. Because both these chocies suck.
