Have iPods lost their appeal?

Not too long ago, we started a little contest around the newest Nike Commercial featuring Matt Scott. We asked you to submit the lamest excuses you’ve heard for something. In exchange, we offered up a silver iPod nano to the best excuse. Well, enough time has passed that at least one response might be expected, but nobody responded so that begs the question–have iPods lost their appeal as a contest prize? I mean, everybody has heard a lame excuse or ten in their lives haven’t they?

How about a gift certificate to Amazon for $50–would that get your attention?

Maybe the stats are lying to me and fewer people are reading this blog than I care to admit. ;)

New Nike Commercial: Part II

In follow up to the last post about the new Nike commercial with the guy in the wheelchair (Matt Scott), we thought we’d start a contest.

What is the lamest excuse you’ve heard for NOT doing something? It can be business or personal. Post your entry as a comment to this post, and check back frequently for updates. This isn’t a sophisticated contest with a bunch of rules, but there will definitely be a winner. :)

We’re giving away a 2 GB Silver iPod Nano (2nd Generation) to the most original excuse. We’ll let this run for a couple of weeks so everyone can submit their excuse then compile a list of “finalists” for everyone to vote for their favorite. The original poster will win the iPod. Easy enough?

Good luck winning the iPod!
