EmuZombie Veteran Posted May 17, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 17, 2002 I was caller #10 on a radio contest where the prize was $100(us) or you could tade the money in for 2 tickets to see the first openning showing of Star Wars around here... So.. what'd I pick? the $100 of course :) I probably ****ed off a bunch of people *cough cough* nerds *cough cough* but I stand by my decision. I mean, after all, If I really want to see the movie I can wait a couple weeks, use part of that $100 and make a profit just for waiting... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted May 17, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 17, 2002 Has anyone heard about the radio contest, a woman took part hoping to win the prize (a new Toyota). To her *bitter* disappointment, the prize was actually a new toy Yoda. :D ...well she then sued and won enough money to buy a new Toyota. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radixvir Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 man i had tickets to the first showing. the were easy to get when i went to the theater to buy them in advance no one else was in line. i guess it just depends on what area you live in. i definitely would have taken the $100 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They held a sales contest and the winner would get a new toyota, to her suprised after she won it was a toy yoda. The manager said it was an april fools joke so she took them to court. It acualy just finished in court and she won her law suite. Well of course now she can by a few toyotas with what she got now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evulfun Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Speaking of silly radio gag contests, I have one.... When the Super Bowl was in Miami a few years ago, a radio station here had a contest to win a trip to Miami to see the super bowl. Sounds great doesn't it. I'm from Winnipeg and in January it's freakin' cold here, so any chance to get out of the city, province, country to somewhere warm is welcomed. The contest had a great response. Here's the kicker.... About 15 minutets from the Canada/US border is a really small town called Miami. Yes that's right Miami Manitoba. They had these two poor guys sitting in lawn chairs outside in a field in -25 cold to watch the super bowl on a big screen tv outside. It was a dirty trick, but it was funny.
