Set phasers for BACKFIRE: George Takei deletes Twitter poll after something goes hilariously awry

Actor George Takei was taking a Twitter poll earlier, but with hours left, he scrapped it because something wasn’t going right:

A instant classic:

Takei blamed the backfire on “trolls” and others, and then deleted that tweet as well:

I am a big fan. Have you gone mad? You made a poll then deleted it when it didn't go your way. Seriously.

If the polling “science” doesn’t go your way, scrap the whole thing!
