I found it interesting too. In this particular case, while the majority of JWs are still saying that the voting restrictions haven't changed, that the WTS is actually telling people to go into a voting booth and destroy the ballot (see the intellects at witnesses.net for that one), this guy actually plans on using the loop hole for his own advantage. He'll push the boundaries, despite the "looks" he might get and he'll proudly tell the cong they have to mind their own business.
The reason I saw a similarity with Alan's silly remarks was that this friend is doing it because he wants to vote and he can now get away with it (believe me he is not one to do it because he is told to). Just as joining in celebrations isn't because we want to "follow the world", it's because we want to and no one is holding any threats over our heads anymore.
