Just following on from the above, two of the most common "crap

prizes" are......


mobile phones (have a free phone (generally WAP), sign up for 12

months (and then place in small writing somewhere hidden (or not

at all if required) how much it costs)


and


Free holidays (you've won a holiday, but you'll need to pay

insurance, tax, food, transport, accommodation, and us £150 in

order to take up your free prize holiday).


Personally I loathe the "congratulations you've won 10% discount"

competitions.


However top marks for crap prizes must be the site that has A4

posters to be won - "just print this page" if you come up trumps!

Marvellous!
