yendiI'm in Starbucks, and there was a nifty cover of "25 or 6 to 4" (one of my all-time favorite songs) on the sound system. After getting no help from Wikipedia, I Googled* a bit, and found someone asking about it at Yahoo Answers. And the "Best Answer," as voted on by a team of snarky hipster schmucks, was someone goofing around that it wasn't a cover, combined with pot jokes and long-tired snark over Starbucks pricing.
Meanwhile, the actual answer to the question (Pacifika, for those wondering), is buried down below with zero votes.
Of course, since I'm only a "level one" user, can't rate these answers (which appears to be different from voting, which isn't even an option at all; I've never really used Y!Answers much, so I'm not sure how they differ), so the crappy, smug, self-satisfied answer remains above the fold, and the useful info sits below, hidden from folks who only glimpse at the page.
I did report the off-topic answer for abuse ("chat or rant" is one of the qualifications), but it still seems like a silly process.
(And yes, I know that I did technically find the correct answer from the Y!Answers page, but that's more because I don't tend to give up on these things.)
*I know that Google says it's not a verb. They can bite my shiny metal ass.
