Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Totally shitAs a 12 year old cretin in my second year at secondary school, a friend and I won the school's version of The Great Egg Race (remember that programme with mad Heinz Wolff?).
Anyway, having won the competition and getting our ugly mugs in the local paper, it came to the prize giving. Wow, having to go on stage in front of the school to get the prize. It was a big deal.
What wasn't a big deal was the prize. A plastic ruler.
Bastards.
Length? Girth? Nah, like waving a sausage in the Albert Hall.
