A bunch of y’all voted for someone named Erica Kanakaoli. But apparently, Akaku puts the “public” in “public access” so much that even Akaku programmers are too elitist to know who she is. WTF, dear readers? Are we missing something? Or are you? (We even went so far as to venture “His Majesty” of the moustache Eric Kanakaole, or perhaps the fact that the Miss Aloha Hula competition is held at the Edith Kanakaole Stadium. But since no one voted for “the king” or the more obvious Miss Aloha Hula, we must digress...) Next time, help us out a little by picking something that’s actually on Akaku. Please? Otherwise we’ll have to again revert to the runner’s up--and BOM’s perennially winning “show”--the Maui County Council meetings. Not that those meetings can’t be entertaining as hell, but sometimes they’re just hell on Earth. Not to mention it’s all paid for by the County (which is good for Akaku and thus good for all of us), but it’s not exactly a feat of independent video, is it? (P.S. Mahalo Shawn Michael!)
