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.

Cancer resurch ukare fucking sneaky cunts, when it comes to collecting money they nip round our local pub at chucking out time rattling tins and giving out stickers. they get a shitload of money this way off drunks. (it was the only time ive put more than 10p in a collecting tin).
i should know this as I personaly oversaw a raffle in thier name a few years ago. With the help of some friends I managed to extract ticket sales with maffia/debt collector effecency.
After i had about £100, i felt it was time to draw the prizes. First prize was a tenner, but i needed some crap to give away as back up prizes. Rooting around my room i found a (i shit you not) "best of ground force video" to give as second prize. In a truly inspired moment my friend suggested the third prize, and so it came to pass
for third place i gave a Broken biro and the leftover raffle tickets as a "make your own raffle kit!!"
If anyone dared to question the crapitude of the prizes the satndard response was " well ill just pop down to the CANCER WARD in lister hospital (local hospital) and tell them THEY cant have more money because YOU want a BETTER PRIZE"
