   @Taweret The Bat People is horribly horrible. I was going to vote for it on the basis of it being universally panned. Critters is derivative (or not) of Gremlins. Bog is bad. Yeti is bad. Slithis is terrible. First Men in the Moon has actual bad good stuff, not bad bad stuff. It's bad, but in a less-bad, almost better, way. Classic stop-action photography by one of the greats, even.

   Slithis is so bad, all of the others had links to Wikipedia. Too embarrassing for Wikipedia, I presume.

   It will probably win.

   So, I decided to just vote for the one with bad good stuff.

   This concludes my TED talk.

   @aeva Would love to see evidence of that, if you have a paper please provide it!

   But I still think it's the case that even if the rat starts leaning on the drugs button, *it's not the rat's fault*, and that's my main point. My main point was that the rat was provided a system in which the rat couldn't win.

   So even if that's true, that still holds to my point: we shouldn't blame the rat, we should blame the system.
