Post! - a post by Ian

I'm not sure how many people read this thing at all, especially hockeyfans, especially Toronto Maple Leafs fans, but after years of this one ad,it just really started bothering me this week.

The cheap cordless phone (not cellular, but cordless) company V-Techsponsors a contest during Leafs games on TSN called "Score to Win withV-Tech!" If you miss the first part of the ad, it's not that bad. Afterall, you could win $1 million! What needs to be done for you to win amillion bucks? A Leafs player has to score FIVE goals. As you canimagine, there are probably no more than 10 players in history that havedone this in the NHL, so chances of someone winning this are slim to none.But I can only imagine the V-Tech execs everytime a Leaf scores a goal, letalone two or a hat trick. They're probably just dripping with sweat intheir suits up in the VIP box. I would think they probably have a guyhiding in the player tunnel ready to club anyone who's even looking for ahat trick all decked out in a black hoodie, something straight out of theTonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan fiasco. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I'm proposing that a new contest be run with slightly better odds thanV-Tech's. I can see it being run during the first period intermission:"If any Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman is ordained during a TSN TorontoMaple Leafs telecast, YOU could win 17 BILLION dollars! Enter today at TSN.CA!!!!!!"

I'd probably be more likely to enter that one. V-Tech phones suck, anyway.Jon probably thinks I've dropped the ball on this one. Eat it, Jon. Eatit right up.
