Bullshit reaches limit - AFF and Iporn scuttlebutt

[Hell Puppy]

I like the bit about the car as an asset.

Turns out it's not Andrew or Lars company car, it's a company asset originally tagged to be given away.

That amuses me on many levels. How many big giveaways like that have ever actually ended up with the prize in the hands of an affiliate or customer?

I can only think of one, and that was Greenguy getting the CE viper back in the day.

The usual MO is make the contest a year long, quit promoting after a couple of months and let people forget about it.

from what I recall, at the time the winner chose the cash prize, versus the car.

That sounds right, I may be wrong but I think Greenguy couldn't even drive a stick at the time or something like that.

Plus unless you've got extra garage space, a Viper is not exactly a daily driver or something you just park beside the house with a car cover. It's not a happy car in traffic. In fact, it's not a happy car til it hits at least 80 mph.

But at any rate, I know that prize was actually rewarded. I think a lot of people grumbled because Greenguy won it, and he was tight with CE at the time. But when you run a raffle type contest where every signup is a ticket, statistically you would expect huge affiliates to have the best chance at winning.

Now I seem to remember CE following that up with a million dollar give away. Hell, I probably still have a banner for that here somewhere. Dont recall that ever being awarded. And that was circa 98-99.
