# anyone else had this email just now?
from: [email protected]

Hi,

I've just seen some of your stuff on B3ta and thought you might be interested in entering a viral competition.

We at Bore Me (one of the world's largest viral web sites) have teamed up with Channel 4 to create the UK's first viral competition.

It's really easy to enter - just create a viral, or send in an existing one you've made this year to www.channel4.com/germ. Your hard work could be rewarded with an NEC Flat Screen, a Palm T650 or a Sony Ericsson K608i and be exposed to the world.

Remember, this is with Channel 4 so please, no defamatory, indecent or illegal stuff - we may laugh but it'll go no further. Lawyers love virals too but also have families to feed.

Find out more at www.channel4.com/germ
Closing date is Monday 5th December.


Sophie

P.S. The competition is called Germ.

They're are specifically asking B3tans who have put email addresses in their profiles if they'd like to enter a competition that may very well appeal to them.

It might be a copy/pasted email, but it's not really spam.

they emailed me too - "i've been looking at your site and thought you might be interested in an image competition"

BUT, my site is alnost entirely text. the exceptions are:
a background image [not made by me],
a logo-thingo [not drawn by me]
and a photo [of me, but not taken by me]

so they obviously didn't look at it very hard, did they?

how very odd...
