As almost everyone knows, we are now in the final phase of the “New 7 Wonders of The World ” competition. Those who, like The Wolfhound, have been among the millions of members of the press keeping careful track of the original 261 qualified national and multinational nominees around the clock.
We know full well there will only be 7 lucky winners at this crucial phase.
Voting ends November 11th.
Vote here-- or else
Currently the select “group as it is already universally known, is at 28 and will be winnowed down to the FINAL SEVEN in a spine-tingling and very possibly partially televised global competition. Even as I write these words, perhaps a trillion more votes, or less, have been cast.
"Yes, yes, yes,” you’re saying. “Tell me something I don’t know.”
I’ll do more than that, my know-it-all readers: I’ll jam the whole stinking wet wad of truth down your throats! Grab your brown pants, Grandpa, and listen to this: Ireland’s beloved Cliffs of Moher Need to win and win big.
Harry Pottter filmed there for Crissakes. It is even a favorite place for people to jump off - ab-sailing I mean.

And what a malodorous bag of crap stands in our way! If anybody with half a brain still doubts that we Irish are still a global target of discrimination, all they have to do is look at the “candidates” ahead of us.
To a one, they are racking up sympathy votes because they’re in countries where there’s no food, water, air, economy, jobs, money, healthcare, education, sanitation, telephones, paved streets, vacuum cleaners, or even Christmas trees - real or artificial, not even the silver ones.
And you know what all this means, my friends.
Without naming names, The Wolfhound can tell you that many of these people do not believe in Jesus Christ.
There’s Galapagos -- what they got? Turtles!-- Chinese Taipei wherever that is -- some kind of carpet?. The Dead Sea -- where everything is dead.Some place called Fundy Bay in Canada-- the most boring country on earth!
And there’s our pristine ; glorious , more, more, more, Moher ,as in Cliffs of.
But Wolfie doesn’t have to let their backward cultures, cannibalistic tendencies or belief in zombies do his work.
Behold above an ordinary snapshot of our breathtaking Cliffs of Moher: Majestic peaks that have carved their way into the very sea, swept by the roiling blue waters and bristled by a bracing wind night and day – compared to the probably-toxic dumps, swamps, mudpies, landfills and vacant anthills that make up our “competition.”
To cast your vote for the only worthy and patriotic candidate, and the shove these other candidates back down the toilets they bubbled up from, click above.
The Wolfhound is watching! Get your arse in gear!

ok,got to go again because they wipe out your first comment.firstly i hate the fact they started charging to see the cliffs,who are these faceless people who make decisions like this,i have always visited the cliffs,my mother was born close to them,last time i came they were fenced of and a charge levied to view them,in disgust i did not go.this charging for everything is reminiscent of rip of britain,its not irish,people pay enough to view our lovely country,don,t let them leave with a rip off feeling,we are better than that,a small charge for maintainance,no,no bloody charge unless we know for what and who to..

gobdawpad--"trailer park trash". A bit unfair to poorer Americans --you'll find few to compete with that individual's vulgarities. As to the substantive point, I would never vote for the Cliffs of Moher. I would have happily given my vote when it was an unspoiled natural wonder, but having been there recently I was disgusted by the ugly tasteless and rip-off developments there. It's typical vulgar and mercenrary leprechaunland tactics to throw up an "Interpretation Center", and charge big bucks to see what should be free to all. If the clown who wrote the article above wants the Cliffs to be dubbed a Wonder of the World, why does he support rip-offs of those who want to visit there?

One reads the very poignant contribution below by mcxavier, then moving to the trailer park trash post of the fourth contributor (12.13 AM) one realizes how far certain of the 'human' gene pool have yet to travel to catch up. The next time you are 'sitting on the edge of the cliffs', you might give some thought as to whether the planet needs you. mcxavier, a wonderful story, thank you.

I don't care.Why do they need to be in some competition?To be honest after passing that curry I foolish ate a few days back I reckon my as*hole is a wonder of the world.Besides that.I was sitting on the edge of the cliffs once in the depths of winter and nobody was around and the cliffs will talk to you if you listen quietly.Those cliffs have a way of grounding a person.They are already wonderful to me.Why do the cliffs of Moher need our help?Do you reckon more tourists will improve it's magic?As an Irish person why don't ye just fu*k off with your competition.

I definitely believe that the cliffs should be recognized as a natural wonder. nine years ago , I traveled to the cliffs with a specific purpose. I had lost my cherished husband 5 months earlier and I was carrying his ashes to scatter from the top. I have had 5 hip surgeries, so the climb was painful and difficult. When I finally gained the top, I sang 'Wonderful World', our favorite song. it was an amazingly beautiful day - clear sky and lots of sunshine. As I opened the vial of my husbands ashes and began to toss them towards the sea, they were caught by the breeze and fanned out. They were lifted upward and were caught in the sunshine. They glittered like diamonds as they spread over the sky. It was a glorious and healing moment.
