    I guess that goes to show the value people place on true culture today then if they can vote out the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World!

    It seems most voted for their own country, irrespective of the monument.

    I am talking about significance of the new7wonder.com not the Taj Mahal.
    This whole drama is nothing but a pathetic effort of making money from people's emotion and pride.

    It wasn't, as it is not ancient enough to be in the list of original seven wonders.

    Fair comment guvnor. :)

    Just saying that it is a truly beautiful sight, especially when put into context. The entire surrounding area looks like some fucker has dropped a nuclear bomb or two on it and then you walk through the gates into the Taj Mahal area and this thing of utter beauty is in front of you.

    It's like getting off with a girl that you suspect might have a hairy smelly pussy and finding that it's
    perfectly shaved and smells divine. :p
