Wouldn't this be assisted with the use of a Slog Poll™?

That said, #2.

Totally #2...it's like she's giving us a little wave to say "Hi, I'm a freakishly cute turtle."

The first one. You crazies.

I'm with @4--the first one is cuter because he looks like he's smiling. In the second photo he looks like a grump.

#1 is cuter.

What is that on #2's face near the nose? Is it a booger? I may have to change my vote...

#2 is cuter. Fo' sure. #1 looks snooty and #2 looks grumpy. Grumpy baby animal wins.

#1. It looks like he's aiming to do a backflip just for you.

#1. As Megan said, he looks friendlier.

Butthead is way cuter than the jerk.

@1: You're right! UPDATED. Everyone kindly vote using the voting machine.

In photo #1, we can make believe the picture was snapped while the turtle was out doin' its thing, all care-free like in open waters. In #2, he's conjuring a curse for all those mocking his emasculating captivity. So, #2 if you hate turtles.

I'm loyal to the butthead. He appears happy to be going about his day. The jerk looks like he'd bite his thumb, if he had one to bite.

The jerk wishes he had a lawn to shoo kids off of.

Figures that Seattle hipsters would like the snooty one (he is literally turning his nose up at you, people).

I kid, I kid... :>

(oh, and BTW I vote #1, even though "baby turtle telling kids to stay off his lawn" has some serious cuteness potential of its own)

@11: Cute turtles are extremely urgent, Mister Grumpypants! DUH.

Only if they're what's for dinner, darlin'. Which reminds me, I haven't had a bowl of good turtle soup in ages.

Butthead as I I love calling my nephews and niece a butthead. And they just laugh at that and call me a butthead.

OMG Cato and Fifty-Two-Eighty, my dad and grandpa LOVED turtle soup. I couldn't be at the same table with them when they ate it. If I ever smelled it again, I would know immediately what it was. Ugh.

And #1 for the win. He is too cool and way cuter. Ho hum, let me just flip my fin here and swim around and around. And I like the name butthead!

Good Lord people!

It's clearly the Butthead turtle.

The jerky little jerk in the second photo may be cute, but I can't tell because the framing, perspective and focus is off, and the crooked line of the water leads the eye right off the photo.

Also the little jerk fucker's foot is cut off, and is probably slowly leaking all his turtle blood into the water right off frame.

The Butthead wins through elimination.
