Yahoo does do a "celebrity" line in Questions and answers and that is one of them. They are propaganda tosh to make people feel as if these "celebrities" have nothing better to do than sit here with dole heads talking tosh all night to which no one pays any attention. I dont read them for that reason. They even had Opra W do a line and got 30 000 answers which someone remarked was remarkable. So I said at the time that the yahoo boys back room may have been filling it all in in their spare time.

I think it's on the level. Yahoo quite often has "celebrity" question askers on the site. However, many times I find it is just for publicity (either Yahoo's or the celebrity). I've seen several questions posted by celebrities that never come back and check the answers. You can tell by looking at their points totals. They will have the 5 points taken off for the question and then no points added for logging in another day.

Good question....I have been answering over a year and when I see "official" under a photo I just ignore it because the "official" questions are not that much more thought provoking than any other question!

yes. officials and professionals to use this site to poll for real people answers -- i think it's cool they ask everyday people instead of trusting only the statistical info they get reported to them by some 3rd party.

The obvious answer is to eliminate Islam from the world.

Knowing the population of India, it is very likely as real as they can make.
