Battle Royale for AfterElton.com's Man of the Decade Escalates On Twitter

Both men want victory

We told you earlier in The Morning Meme that the battle for Man of the Decade was close, with Neil Patrick Harris and John Barrowman only separated by 20 votes. Neither of these men is used to losing - each is top man in their respective country, and each has a huge cross over appeal.

But we never expected them to actively campaign, like Mike Bloomberg trying to buy a mayoral race. This morning, Neil took to his Twitter account, and made a low-key appeal to his 190k followers to drop by and vote for him to be atop Barrowman. And, boy, did they turn out in droves! Let's just say the difference is now a lot more than twenty votes.

Yes, we know these top jokes are getting old. We can't help ourselves.

But this evening, John got wind of the fact that Neil was trying to stuff him at the ballot box, and he took to his Team Barrowman account, with a personally signed battle cry that he was joining the battle.

He seems to have a problem going down to NPH.

John may be biting off more than he can chew right here though - he only has about 4,500 followers. Still, Captain Jack always finds a way. You can still vote, but choose wisely; we don't get to do this again for ten long years.
