I got something in the mail today.
I couldn’t believe it the first time I looked at it, but it’s true!
I MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER!!!
OHMYGOD, I got one too!!!
What are the odds?!?!?!
Winner of what? Money? A new car? Entertainment center? Dinette set? A year supply of car wax?
Fuckin’ loser. I’M the winner!
Dammit! I thought you were filming an 70’s era porno movie in here. Crap.
If it had been an 80’s or later film, it would have of course been “Ohmygosh!” Which is not so much erotic as it is disturbing. But what the hell. I like disturbing.
–
“But of course I’ve never seen one, so I wouldn’t know . . .”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a porn film where they said “Ohmygosh!” But, then again, maybe that’s because I’m not the porn connoseiur that you are.
Yes, I know there is a 99% chance that I spelled “connoseiur” incorrectly.
The main office for those letters is here in Tampa. Ignorant, gullible people, usually old, come here in person to pick up their prize money. Most of them borrow money for a one way plane ticket thinking they will be rich when they arrive.
One old man even made the trip twice!! Even though he was told to read the fine print last time he came, he says, “This time I thought I really won!” Then on the way back home he purchased a few more subscriptions.
Some of these people have spent their entire life savings and their retirement nest eggs on buying subscriptions even though it states “No purchase necessary” or soemthing like that. This particular man had dozens of subscriptions for the same magazines. What does a man need with 12 copies of Vogue?
Those letters are so fucked up. I have seen them even state
“CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE OUR 10 MILLION DOLLAR WINNER!” Then on the bottom is
[sub]this is what I will say if you have the maching numbers[/sub]
That is so messed up!!
No, no, you already may be a whiner. They misspelled it. Sorry.
P.S. you were close, though: connoisseur
TWEAK!
The U.S. Senate Committee on Government Affairs held hearings on the subject of deceptive sweepstakes advertising in March. The transcript of the hearings is long, but contains some real horror stories about elderly people in particular being conned.

I believe they have passed or are trying to pass legislation restricting sweepstakes advertising.
ROFLOL
You owe me a new keyboard, or at least clean the Gatorade off of the old one.
You fucked up the column width on my computer window (with your spaceless thread title), now inabling me from seeing who posted last in each thread without moving shit, for that?
I hope you lose now.
Hah! My stock in the keyboard companies will now rise! Then, when everyone else has gone out of business, I will rule! MUHAHAHAHA!!
You’re just jealous. Goes to show that you’re so immature you have to whine and bitch about my good fortune. Loser
