During last night's episode of The Colbert Report, Stephen called for his fans' help once again. I guess after the whole Wikipedia incident, he realized that he has great power over his viewers, most of whom are quite willing to do his Internet-bidding. This time around, Stephen found a website taking votes in naming a Hungarian bridge over the Danube River. After seeing that one of the names leading the polls is Chuck Norris, Stephen realized that it could just as well be the Stephen Colbert Bridge. Alright, that's where we come in. Check out this site with step-by-step directions to navigate through the website (which is totally in Hungarian) and get voting! And if you don't vote, then I've got to ask... "Why do you hate America?... And Hungary?"The Stephen Colbert Bridge needs you!

There's been a bit of a meltdown over at the Hungarian site. I've documented more of the trouble the Colbert Nation has caused on the link referenced in this web site (http://www.nofactzone.net/?p=132). Long story short, they cleaned up the site, deleted "Steven Colbert" and purged over 2500 votes. He's down to 58 now. On the up side, people can actually get in and vote now. Maybe. I'm not 100% sure of that. I found an error message with that page earlier.

Help Stephen Colbert Get His Own Bridge!
Check out this clip and head over to ColbertNation.com to vote for comedic genius Stephen Colbert. A few million more votes and he gets his own bridge named after him in Hungary.
If the site is jammed up, keep trying!
From his nightly entertainment to his skewering of President Bush at the WH Press Correspondents Dinner, it's the least we could for for the man.

If any of you truly want Colbert to win this I encourage you to download this program http://www.xenostasis.com/junk/bridge.zip It will automatically vote for you. Just download, unzip and let it run in the background while your computer is on. It dosen't use many resources so you'll hardly know it is running. I downloaded it myself earlier today (about 4 hours ago, and it has voted 400 times for me). I have found no ill-side-effects from the program, and the link was orginally found on the colbert forum at http://www.colbertnation.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?p=66066&highlight=cookies#66066
I hope you all will download this and help Colbert in his hunt to get an Hungarian bridge named after him.

In Hungary, you can't name a bridge after a living person. That's the law (as i know).

I think someone should draw Mr Colbert’s attention to the fact that: 1. according to Hungarian law no living person’s name can be given to a geographical site or bridge or the like; 2. the final decision about the name is made by a commission which overrules any result of any vote. my wild guess is that Stephen does not qualify in the first category and does not stand a chance in the second one.
a Hungarian in Budapest

thats all. even he gets billions of votes, he can't win. sorry.

The Bridge can't be named after Colbert or Chuck Norris or anybody, who isn't dead. Yes, Chuck Norris, but it can't be too.
What do you think, the other names were added by the government? "Chuck Norris" or "The government of tax increase - bridge" :) ?
(or some of my favourites:
- "I was near to named after Chuck Norris - bridge"
- Eric Cartman - bridge
- Tupac Shakur - bridge
- Under the - bridge
- Traffic Jam again - bridge
- Wow, what a beautiful - bridge
- Mr.T - bridge
- Frodo Baggins - bridge
- Beer - bridge
- Yoda - bridge
- Easy rider, bro! - bridge
LOL)

Hi everyone! If Stephen CAN'T get the bridge named after him, he could take solace in the fact that 'Perl Script' would be the next likely candidate! And besides, there's a town in washington state named Colbert!
