The Weekly Poll: Tit for Tats

[Survey] Held over for one more week: City Weekly Associate Editor Bill Frost thinks the print feature Nice Tats (photo of a tattoo and a one-sentence explaination) is tired, played out and should be 86ed in favor of a new feature. Managing Editor Jerre Wroble believes readers still enjoy Nice Tats and it should stay. Others wonder, what's the diff between an Associate and Managing Editor, anyway?

Should Nice Tats stay or go?
  1. Stay: My tattoo-removal business is booming these days.
  2. Go: I don't want to see my mom's "Poison Rocks!" tat in there.
  3. Modify: Add a "Cool Head Wound" feature next to it.
  4. Don't care: I only read "I Saw You," anyway.

The Weekly Poll: Saved Beyond the Grave

[Weekly Poll] In last week's Poll, Squatters' beer triumphed over Uinta and Wasatch in the favorite local brew voting. If Squatters wants to drop off a growler of hefeweizen at the CW office, we won't object (the bosses are out of town, so we can start drinking whenever we want).

The June 5-11 poll: This week, John Saltas' Private Eye column hit upon the topic (among others, as usual) of LDS baptism for the dead. Would you like the LDS Church to give you or your loved ones a proxy baptism after you/they have assumed room temperature? Click here and choose between:
  • Yes, I want all of my afterlife bases covered.

  • No, set me adrift in purgatory. Or Provo.

  • Maybe, do I get a free T-shirt? That's a dealbreaker.

  • Sorry, I am immortal ... and there can be only one!

The Weekly Poll: Chelada Party!

[Time-Wasting Survey] City Weekly grand poobah John Saltas has finally set a date for the social event of the season, the Chelada Party! Are you coming? Take our user-unfriendly survey and let us know: The Weekly Poll: Chelada Party!

Last week's results for the Speed Racer-centric Weekly Poll question, "Which animated TV series of yesteryear do you fear/hope is up next for Hollywood ruination?": The answer "Quit pushing your crap Gen-X nostalgia on me" was the clear winner. Now you know. (Bill Frost)

Superheroes Among Us

[Weekly Poll] Last week, we asked if you preferred SLC pizza over all others: The winner was a resounding "Yes!" for the locals, with New York/Chicago pies a distant second and frozen Red Baron coming in third. Hot Pockets, nowhere to be found ...

This week's City Weekly feature story chronicles the adventures of the Black Monday Society, a self-appointed group of "superheroes" who patrol the streets of Salt Lake City. Do you feel safer or just creeped out?

The Weekly Poll: Utah Pizza

[Survey Fun] Last week, we posted the first Weekly Poll on SLWeekly.com, asking if community radio listeners would be more inclined to stick with KRCL 90.9 FM as it tweaks its format, or make the Internet switch to new online offshoot UtahFM.org. KRCL narrowly won, while UtahFM came in second and the option of enjoying both brought up third. Only a couple of pollers preferred commercial radio, thankfully.

This week, the Weekly Poll is linked to Ted Scheffler's Dining column about fine Utah pizza: Can it be found locally, as the Tedster asserts, or is Zion pie a lost cause? And by Zion pie, we mean pizza, sickos.
