Contests are a joke....

So I was gonna enter this stupid Nancy Grace contest, a chance to meet her or whatever.

I thought I would win because I dressed up like her.

I wanted the essay to be good, so I waited for hte right words to come to me.

The contest was SUPPOSED TO END on September 11th.

Today is September 1st.

I didn't get a chance to even ENTER the contest because it ENDED TEN DAYS EARLIER.

Who won?

Who won, you ask?

A stupid, stupid woman who gave up dance lessons to watch Nancy Grace.

As stupid as THAT sounds, that's not all. She watches with her two frickin' dogs.

Jesus Christ.....

I know, I know i shouldn't be upset with something stupid like this, but it's the one chance I would have to do something cool. To actually WIN something.

Boy, was I wrong.

(Then again, I usually am.)

Are you talking about Nancy Grace, the shrieking head from television news? If so, not meeting her would seem like you won some sort of contest, not the other way around.

Oh dude. That sucks.

Goggle contests and enter everything you come across. That'll improve your chances.

What he said.

But I can understand your frustration if the contest ended before it was supposed to.

OK, the form was still up there so I entered....maybe she was just showcasing one contest winner and they're still looking for THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER!

Which could be me.

hehehe....I feel calmer now, though.

Wish me luck!

Nancy Grace? Yicky

Silver King · Sep 1, 2009

If it's the Nancy Grace I'm thinking of, the loser of the contest should get to spend time with her, and the winners are everyone else.

So you see, Project, you are a winner after all.

Oh, how I wish you would have won so you could meet her. I would have paid you to knock that chip off her shoulder.

If they send you plane tickets and travel expenses, you could always stay at the hotel and order room service and say you have the flu.

Someone murdered her fiance' and she hasn't been right since.

spamwarrior · Sep 1, 2009

Never heard of her, but bummer

nancy grace is the mush mouthed whore of Babylon. anyone who doesn't meet her WINS.

I'm not sure if she was ever right, even before that tragic event. Either way, she can get on a person's nerves to the point he or she might wish to be dead, too.

(Low blow, I know; but even though I haven't followed her in years, just the sight of her name claws my spine like fingernails scraping a chalk board.)

oh wow. HAHAHAHAHA

bettielee · Sep 1, 2009

I think she needs to rethink her mask... i mean her makeup application.

That was said fairly and evenly right?

don't want anyone saying I'm not being fair and even.

spamwarrior · Sep 1, 2009

I watched a couple more youtube clips and was horrified... "Do I need to cut his mic off, Elizabeth?"

poetinahat · Sep 1, 2009

Um, that other person who may or may not have won the contest? May just have written the best essay. Why attack her character?

Given the reaction and the rant, I'm finding it hard to sympathise.

Sweetleaf · Sep 1, 2009

The only Nancy Grace I've seen is on The Soup.

I don't think Joel McHale likes her either. (but I love him.

)

There was a contest sponsored by a company that was selling some Looney Toons trading cards I was buying. Since I was buying full packs at the time, I sent all 67 entries from all of the packs I'd bought.

6 came back because they actually arrived the day after the contest ended.

But I won one of the third prizes.

"Shrill" doesn't even begin to describe her.

Matera the Mad · Sep 1, 2009

I seldom enter anything. I'm always afraid I'll win something stupid.

i thought that too. but the nancy thing just took me into another dimension of oogie.

Okay, I looked for some contest and I accidentally googled the wrong thing:
ancy Grace contest
(without the N)
and some page on THIS website came up as the second entry - scroll down and watch the Elizabeth Smart youtube clip:
http://nancygracemustdie.com/
But I did find this year-old contest:
http://www.sweepstakestoday.com/sweeps/15319/CNN-com-Nancy-Grace-Extraordinary-Parent-Contest.aspx
First Prize Winners will each receive an autographed picture of Nancy Grace.
Huh, no darts and dartboard?
