This is a question Winning

I once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

For Homosexual Men
I once got a (shit) joke published in FHM. The £25 prize was neither here nor there, what is important is that I can (and frequently do) tell people that I am a published comedy author.

Many people have had stuff nicked from here by FHM.
This story of mine appeared there looking like this a little later; and rachelswipe has had her bedshitter story stolen by them too.

Fuckers!
Although I see it going on all the time across the whole comedy gamut - Mock The Week, Stand Up For The Week, etc, any time I see it it makes me furious - not to mention denigrates ones view of the comedian or publication themselves.

Essentially what we're seeing here is "Look at me! I found this!" as opposed to the good old days when people were employed to actually be funny.

And not just the comedians -
the tabloid press seems to do quite well out of /board, too.

Basically, b3tans are the secret rulers of mankind who influence EVERYTHING: we just don't know it.

We're responsible for Jack Whitehall.

And yet if you give them a taste of their own medicine and reprint their articles under your own name, they start bleating about "plagiarism" like a bunch of Labour-biased liberal pinkos.
Broken Britain, wouldn't have happened under Thatcher, GRRRRR IMIGRUNT'S etc.

To be fair
I nicked the joke in the first place. This was not long after FHM first became FHM and the internet was still in it's infancy, so I used to trawl joke sites and lift dozens of them, sending them to FHM at the rate of about 20 a day. Sometimes, the joke of the month prize was really worth having.
