Casey
A while back I posted a link about a girl suffering from cancer who'd entered a contest with Victoria's Secret to win a trip to New York.

Well guess what? Even though Casey won by more than twice the votes than her nearest rival - she didn't win. VS claim that due to vote rigging they had the winners decided by an "independent" panel of judges and the judges didn't pick Casey.

I guess that's because they didn't want a girl who's hair had all fallen out due to the chemo as the face of Body By Victoria. The new "winners" are girls who have conventionally "pretty" faces. No fucking surprises there.

But there is some good news. After a torrent of phone-calls and emails Victoria's Secret have decided to send Casey to New York after all.

But that's not the fucking point. She won, fair and square. So fuck Victoria's Secret.

The original post from my mate where he found out that Casey hadn't won is here:

and the post where we found out that she's getting her trip after all is here:

I know that Casey's getting her trip - it's her not being acknowledged as the winner sticks in my craw.

Cheers

All's well
that ends well. I hope she enjoys her trip. Nice one Legless/The INTERNET

that is annoying
particularly as you harnessed The Power of The Internet to help her to win, rather than mere cheating.

At least she gets the trip though.

Now, what else can we use the aforementioned awesome power for...

Step 1: Harness the Awesome Power of the Internet

I believe step 2 is "get cancer"

not quite
that would be step 1, with step 2 being harnessing the awesome power etc...

we need to either overthrow something, or start some kind of rumour, preferably about Bono.

I'm going to stop you there Vipros
I like you, and I'm going to let you finish, but cancer is the greatest disease in the world. IN THE WORLD!
