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.

Bible BingoThe church my dad and my grandparents go to has this picnic in the local park every year. Mind you, I'm agnostic, and I especially hate this church.
One year, they had a game called Bible Bingo. It's your typical bingo game, but with Biblical references.
In the first round, my uncle won. His prize was none other than a package of sponges. That's right. Sponges.
For the rest of the game, lucky contestants got to walk home with oven mits and mouse traps.
I don't know about a wrathful god, but I now know that there is a god of bad taste.
