Vote for the 2010 World Cup poster

It seems as though that term "crowd sourcing" is going viral and going mainstream.Bizcommunity reports today (and I heard it on the radio last week) that voting for the 2010 World Cup poster is open.What a rocking and brilliant idea. You get a choice, they get a design that the masses want and like and the public takes ownership of the event. Fantastic.And here they are:2010poster.jpgI am personally voting for the center option (I think I can tell you, this isn't politics!). I am interested to know what you all think. I would also like to know what Mr Cherry, the Jo's and Ideate might say to all this.I like all the options and was particularly drawn to the pregnant soccer belly on the right. But I feel as if that is a bit too deep and meaningful and somewhat serious. I am looking for fun in a poster, something that draws you in, lets you look around (briefly) and spits you out with a message at the end.What do you think?
