This contest is laughable

I'm going to try to explain this without giving any names that would get me sued.

My org is teaming up with a pharmaceutical company for a promotion. It's regarding proper care and health of the calcified armature that supports the human body.

It's my job to make the associated promotion sound interesting to women who are primarily just out to have fun.

Said promotion has three prizes:

1. Lunch with an actress by the name of "Fally Shield" (not real name, but close), and participating in a "conversation" with said actress about said health concerns, which will be recorded and played at health discussions around the country. if you read the fine print, you see that the winner is not garunteed to be included in final recording, anyway.

2. Catered lunch for yourself and 25 people, with a presentation by a local health professional. This one's ok. Granted, it's still health-oriented, but the catering gig looks pretty nice.

3. A gym bag, with a "healthy snack" and a fact sheet inside.

Ahem. Pardon me for a moment.



Ok...*giggle*....I'm back...Anyone else think that this is the LAMEST SET OF PRIZES EVER!????

So you can win lunch with Nying Flun? Sorry, couldn't resist.

A pharmaceutical company that is probably making million gazillions and that's the best they can do? Lame. Lamer than lame.

Lunch with the lady who played Robin Williams' wife on Mrs. Doubtfire and getting to listen to her record a commercial. Wow.

Really makes me want to go out and win that contest. Not.

Damn those are some shitty ass prizes. Me thinks that someone forgot to exhale when they were hitting the bong during the planning session.

Lunch with a has been...a catered lunch of rabbit food for 25 of your friends (yeah if you want to make them ex friends). Or a gymbag with a fucking carret and some kibble. Wow that sounds just super thanks.

It's so lame that even my boss (not the crazy CEO, the cool boss) is sitting here mocking it...

Heh. This contest has officially become the laughingstock of our department. None of us, including our supervisor, is even trying to be subtle about it anymore. At least once a day, our supervisor (the marketing manager), screams over her cubicle walls, "This is the most boring contest EVER!"
