Winners' Gallery: the Best of Contest 222

[RSS FEED]

Dear Ms. Somers:

First of all, we would like to assure you that we do remember the major role your product played in the launch and early months of Woot.com!. And, yes, we suppose it is true that your entire lifestyle was in fact supported by woot items. Technically, your submissions are exactly in line with the theme of this contest. However, woot has no control over the picks that our judges make in this contest each week. We just post the winners. While the photos of you using the Ab-Tilt have greatly enthralled our copywriters, and slowed down progress on our production of a giant Alex Trebek head to go with our Giant Ken Jennings head and the nearly complete Giant Drew Carey head, we would like you to quit sending the photos. Please understand, THIS CONTEST IS OVER. If you will continue reading, you will see that your photo of you doing stretches on your jungle gym made of Ab-Tilts didn't win. In addition, the negligee pose, while very artistic, apparently was a double exposure, which unfortunately gave you well-defined twelvepack abs, surely not your intent. While you did not make the winners page, we can assure you that if you use the code HONMEN-SS*, we will provide you, and you alone, free shipping on one woot item of the current ilk. If you look below, you will see that none of your entries won. In fact, since you sent the photos directly to Jason Toon, no-one but Jason, and his online geek buddies, and everyone on Facebook, ever saw any of them, and they were never posted in the contest forum. Please, Ms. Somers, in future, ask your aide to read the rules (or guidelines for certain contests)for you. Enjoy the results from: Show us a scene from a typical day in the life of someone who only owns and uses things sold on Woot!

Money winners, please email your Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com. Monkey Prize winner, BML0579, please email your shipping address to jtoon@woot.com. Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. If one were to be, oh, waiting on a monkey prize, specifically, one might know that a nearly certain way to achieve monkey-prize-dom is to locate the elusive Dr. Moreau, and simply ask him for your monkey prize. After the anesthetic wears off, oh boy! Until next time remember: Three's Company is currently NOT SHOWING on US television. Until it returns, since JJ Abrams has signed to direct the movie, remember, Suzanne Somers starred in Three's Company, NOT as the monster in Cloverfield.
