Re: Have you ever won the hourly prize?

I can't help thinking that these ads are targeted at a particular type of person who does actually think they might have won something.

Kind of reminds me of an early Simpsons episode in which Homer is trying to decide what to buy Bart for his birthday. An ad comes on TV for a microphone that can transmit on broadcast radio frequency. Homer is pondering whether to buy it until the voice-over says, 'hurry, only limited stocks left!' at which point he panics and jumps for the phone. Cut to bored warehouse rep sitting in a huge warehouse full of the things.

Guess you had to be there, actually... but you get the idea.
