They know what’s going to happen, right? I mean…30% of people will submit "I wish I was taller, 30% will submit “My wife is a slut,” 20% will submit “I can’t find my receipt, my place is a sty,” 10% will be something else Seinfeld related, and maybe 10% at best will be actual submissions.
Personally, I submitted “My wife is a slut,” and I hope that’s the one that gets submitted most, and some editor at The New Yorker who has never seen Seinfeld will be confused off his rocker.
They have rules about contests that are different from the rest of Canada. It’s quite standard to see “offer not valid in Quebec” if you live in another province.
