USELESS CONTEST DETAILS

Dear Useless Men,

How do I enter your silly useless contests that everyone on the internet is talking about? Aren’t you required to post them or something?

Curious

Dear Curious Contest Detail Person,

Required to post them? How do I know? Our lawyers only accept Am Ex, and I only get paid in Canadian Tire money.

But since you asked, you stickler for details you, here is what should likely happen for this and future contests.

1. You submit a question. If we have a sponsor for the contest, we do ask that you visit their site during the contest period.

2. We record your email. We enter all the emails in a random drawing for some random prizing. Your chances of winning are solely determined by the number of entries received in the contest period. To pick a winner, we like to involve random strangers in order to keep our hands clean of any favouritism.

No purchase is required at Useless Advice From Useless Men or our sponsor to participate. Just a skill-testing question. One from you for us. Then one for you, if you are the winner.

Thanks for participating. To submit your questions by email, click here.

Sincerely,
One Useless Man
