The Great Wall of China finally gets it due!

Even today, it's still keeping those pesky Mongolians out.

Because the internet is totally not biased towards non-third world countries.

No. These are the NEW wonders. The old lists of wonders are still valid.

I wonder what they'll call this list in 2,000 years when they make a new list. The Natural and Ancient wonders can stay the same but New Wonders won't exactly last as a title.

Critics, including the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), have said world wonders should not be chosen in a popular vote.

Agreed. The general public tends to be pretty stupid.

You're just mad because you didn't get to vote.

I could care less if I wasn't able to vote on it. So long as the Great Wall of China's chosen, then it's fine and dandy.

Christ the Redeemer? Didn't Lupin III steal that once? I always thought it was pretty impressive.

If it did, I better be seeing some pizza eating Ninja Turtles and a huge rat with a bamboo cane.
