What about the fact that InsideFlyer employees manage the Freddies and vote-counting without an independent authority meanwhile having a financial stake (advertising) in the companies that win the awards? &lt;snip&gt;</font>
I believe Randy Petersen has indicated that an outside accounting firm verifies the results and the co-sponsors of the Freddie Awards are able to monitor the votes.

For what it's worth, I don't think the Freddies are a joke. I enjoy reading about the annual awards on WebFlyer.com and have a great amount of respect for not only InsideFlyer, but also the namesake Sir Freddie Laker.
