Next Week One Of You Will Own This TV

Just say your open to bribery. I’m sure I could find a nice bakery that delivers

Just give it to someone who actually deserves it… like not someone reading this blog. There’s some poor kid out there in a really shitty situation who would be stoked to win this friggin thing… until his/her junkie dad kicks his/her ass and hocks it for smack.

I send you a vid of me drinking a 6 pack of FULL STRENGTH beer. You send me the TV.

For laughs, you then run a fake comp, telling readers to send you a vid of them drinking a 6 pack of LIGHT beer, knowing that they perform this unholy act for nothing. I then send you another vid of me watching these fools on my new TV while drinking more FULL STRENGTH beer.

You post this vid on our site telling your readers that this was a trap for morons, and that you’d never reward the drinking of LIGHT beer, and certainly not with a brand new 42-inch LG LCD.

F*cking genius.

Competition for the biggest, star wars inspired, transformer that looks like lego but is actually made from Playdo. One caveat is that one area of the model needs to be covered in playdo hair.

-entries must submit a 3-5 panel comic, which make reference to gizmodo, large screen TVs, and (insert random object or person). judged on creativity and humor. drawing/rendering skills not critical. must be submitted in jpeg format (no bigger than 2meg).

OK, I have the vid ready, where do I send it.

Also, I think you should send the TV to where I work in case noone is home when they try and deliver it. I’m a bit worried about getting it home though, will it fit in the back of a car? It looks pretty big.

Most importantly, I have a name for the competition,
“LG – Let’s Glug.” Later, you can change this to “Lightbeerdrinking Gonads.”

Call me, OK?

I’m starting to think my email might be broken or something, but that’s cool, I’m still really looking forward to getting my new TV and watching some LIGHT beer drinkers get p0wned.

I’ve spent some time re-editing the beer drinking footage, and re-working the audio with an awesome track. I was thinking about putting it on YouTube and digging it myself, I bet I get like 20 diggs (mine +19 others). Before I do that, and some ad agency rips it off, I wanted to try you guys again with this LIGHT beer trap.

I think the fan base needs a distraction from iPhones apps, lego models and talk about how serious the damage to the LHC is. In these uncertain economic times, it’s really important to trick people into spending their hard earned cash on LIGHT beer, then make them drink the beer in the hope that they’ll get a sweet TV, and then rewarding the evil b*stard who tricked them into it with the same TV they were hoping for, which he then watches them drinking the LIGHT beer on, while drinking FULL STRENGTH beer, and posts it for full effect.

Also, does the 42-inch LG LCD work with a Nintendo Wii? I’m thinking of buying one because I am so into games.

I’ll have the phone on, and check emails again tomorrow.

Dear Kendal

I am concerned that you did not mention FULL STRENGTH beer in your previous post. I really think this whole contest is getting to you and perhaps you should seek medical advice. Please, think of the friends or colleagues who will have to discover you babbling on the floor and call the men in white.

Alright, alright. I see what’s going on here, there’s a skills shortage in the workplace, and you’re stretched to breaking point, scouring the interwebs for quasi-futuristic home bars, and coding quantum clues.

Maybe the TV is that good, you don’t want to part with it. I suspect that’s the case, I mean online reviews are positive, and it comes in a damn fine looking cardboard box, (oooh mama!), and honestly, with Craig Mclachlan as the new face of HD, I wouldn’t want to let go of it either (it is HD…riiight..?)

I’m at the point where I change my idea to a competition where you send the TV to the most persistant reader/loser/me, but I thought I’m probably better off working out a few more comp ideas, and then then entering the comp you choose and win, now that I’m unemployed.

So here goes;
- LG-a-fy as many internet memes as you can in a 30 second video
- Sculpt your favourite gadget out of cheese
- Eat the cheese gadget because you can’t aford to eat now that you’re unemployed
- Write a poem about moving back in with your parents
- Do a comic strip on removing your profile from Facebook because all your friends are chasing you for borrowed money
- Design a website for people who get involved in paid medical research into new drugs, which make your hair fall out, and blur your vision for two days
- Write a ‘how-to’ on stealing your neighbor’s wireless to save money you don’t have
- Write a ‘how-to’ on stealing your neighbor’s electricity to save on money you also don’t have
- Design a GPS helmet which conceals conceals the face of the wearer when it detects high levels of shame
- Develop an iPod base station which not lony works without the iPod (because you had to sell yours) but also dispenses tissues when it detects that the lights are out/the power has been cut off
- Design a web based suicide machine with RSS feeds

Will check again tomorrow.

I reckon the competition should be “Who can put up or display the largest and most publicly viewable Gizmodo logo” – without breaking the law of course.

Gizmobro’s,

Stop taunting the monkeys. Give it away, give it away, give it away now.
