Author Topic: Canada and Spy Kids 2 contest Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 08-07-2002 08:25 PM                        This is a question for all of the canadian film-techers: On the back of our Spy Kids 2 sweepstakes entry forms, it states that "Canadian winners will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill testing question administered by telephone, mail or e-mail." Why is it that you guys must jump through hoops and can not just simply win the contest by random drawing like us here in the states? Just curious. This was a 30 minute discussion at my theater today! -adam  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-07-2002 08:57 PM                     Most Canadian contests require some form of skill testing to be legal The exception is the government run loteries (the stupid tax)  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-08-2002 10:55 AM                     Hmm... I wish the United States would adopt this mehtod. Not only would it keep stupid people from winning contests, but it would keep stupid contests from overwhelming people. Imagine if one of those little brats had to solve a math problem or do a word search if he or she wanted one of those blasted free Pokemon cards. "I'm sorry ma'am, but your child is too dumb to get a free card. There's nothing I can do." Well, maybe not that extreme, but it would encourage them to learn something. =TMP= "Advertizing signs that con you into thinking you're the one that can do what's never been done, that can win what's never been won, meantime life outside goes on all around you." --Bob Dylan  |  IP: Logged
