I once voted (aged 9ish) for a kids' TV-presenter by pressing a 'button' on the screen and watching the metres rise.
I actually believed they had somehow got a touch-screen capacity for the 'vote'.
I felt cheated that my vote didn't win.
My vote was the smelly tramp thrown in for comic effect (by rising furthest in the 'voting' chart, and then being pipped by the pre-selected presenter).
