In the latest Camper Trailer Australia magazine Issue 38 there is a 'letters to the editor' letter that has me wondering what the world is coming to..
Essentially, there's a person (doesn't give names so dunno if it's a bloke or a bird) that has had a serious bitch about buying a subscription for a friend as a present and that subscription ultimately won a subscribers prize.
This person is complaining that - get this - the person whom he or she bought the subscription for as a present actually received the prize rather than them!!!
"Luckily it is only a small item, but you could imagine if the prize had been bigger. I would not have been very impressed, if what I felt should have been my prize (as it was my purchase) was given to my friend"
heaven help us

That's like buying a scratchie for someone for their birthday and expecting to benefit from the prize.......insert mullet here please ;D

I shook my head as well when I read that one Joff. ???

I missed that, I don't bother reading letters to the editor,

Hmm, smells of:
"Dear Forum, the other day I was just wandering down the road when a coach full of bikini models stopped and offered me a ride....." 8)

As a magazine editor that sort of stuff would be gold. it gets people talking, even if some of it is negative.
Subscription as a gift
Competitions, with massive prizes
I think the old adage "any publicity it good publicity" never took into how account rugby league, AFL or any number of professional sports might degenerate, but there is still an element of truth to it.
