Win a date with Drew Sharp!
Damn, beat me to it.
TomVH posted a link to a Freep charity contest and I think we have a diabolical plot rising. In the Reader Envy (because we obviously envy Sharp or Rosenberg's awesome jobs that they suck so terribly at) contest, the winning journalist will donate $500 to charity and one lucky participant will get to do an event with the journalist that won.
While lunch with Rosenberg and an autographed copy of his book is pretty worthless, the Sharp event seems more promising:
Have lunch with Drew and sit in on his afternoon drive radio show "Shep and Sharp" on 1130 WDFN.
How better an opportunity for a MGoBlogerati to crash his radio show and help charity? Hell, if you make it on air, I'd give 10,000 points* to you if you could be kicked out of the "sit in" within the first 10 minutes for talking pro-Rodriguez.
*may not actually do this
Other possible equivocations here:
*Your results may vary
*Results not typical
*Past performance is not a guarantee of future success
*Call your doctor if you have an erec---- lasting more than four hours
This one would be cool though. Less diabolical.
Spend a day with the sports editor. Includes a tour of the Free Press building, sitting in on a news meeting in which decisions are made for all sections of the paper, lunch at a downtown spot, watching the sports section come together, and other surprises.
to see the Fr**p sports section "come together," instead of coming apart at the seams like it usually does.
and other surprises."
I am not kidding. You can't make this stuff up.
If I entered that contest, Herschel Fink would probably go into the Wayne County Circuit Court and get a Personal Protection Order.
If ever there were the remotest chance that a Free Press sports section might actually "come together," I'd gladly pay to see it happen. But it won't.
In fact, I'm sure their news meetings are the same as ours, except they sit around a large round table in a bunker plotting world domination.
It's probably more interesting when you're not limited to the facts as you decide what to report.
And still lose!
he would get a serious stink-palm if I won.
Chocolate covered pretzels?
Small price to pay for the smiting . . . of one's enemies.
Then woo him.
Then hit it and quit it.
Can you enter if you are older than fourteen?
Sharp comes with a radio show though. The possibilities are literally endless, and I would abuse that to the very best of my personal ability. Of course, I'd mentally prepare ahead of time to make sure I keep my class and my emotions in check order to make us look better and Sharp look dumber.
There are actually some potentially interesting experiences offered there. But what's currently in the lead? An evening with the entertainment writer.
I'm with FA: I'd take the day with the sports editor.
what was that Island Gilligan was on?
I'd rather win a date with oncoming traffic.
Seems to be more of a punishment than a prize.
...and points to the dead monkey.
"Bad dates."
here I run out of ideas.
Step 1: Win the contest
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit
I'll buy the winner any amount of Taco Bell they desire prior to going into that small and enclosed studio with Sharp.
Why? Because I'm petty.
Frankly, I'd rather have a root canal than spend any time with those two swine.
