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.

The fucking 'Love Fish'I always get the shit 'prize' from crackers, even if they are expensive, decent quality ones. Without fail I always seem to get that stupid piece of red plastic film, shaped like a fish, that supposedly tells what sort of lover you are (it always comes out "Red Hot Lover" for me so it's an inaccurate shit prize too).
I think they should recalibrate the fish so that instead of ranging from "Cold Fish" all the way up to "Red Hot Lover" it instead ranges from "Massive Wanker" to "Sweaty Palmed, Paedo-Filth Monger"
Just imagine the after Christmas dinner jollity with that one "Look gran, the fish says you're a Colossal Pervert!"
I finally got a decent prize at a raffle last year. First prize was a stupid leather jacket. I was already wearing a stupid leather jacket of my own so didn't need that. Instead I won the second and third prizes which were a bottle of whisky and a bottle of wine. The mulleted loon that won first prize didn't look all that impressed.
