Iirc Boaty McBoatface actually won. The people holding the contest quickly learned asking the Internet to name your boat is a bad idea. Just like when Taylor Swift did a survey for folks to name where she should have a concert and the vote was overwhelming at a school for dead children.

But to the boat people's credit, they named one of the life boats Boaty McBoatface.
