Competition fine print

This bit of small print from the Reg competition to win this TV amuses me:

"You agree to answer five questions on camera concerning your experience with the 42LF7700 and to allow the resulting video to be shown by LG and Register Hardware."

Isn't that a bit hopeful that the winner is going to be a) photogenic and b) vaguely comfortable in front of a camera?

"Tell us why you like this fine LG product?"

"Ermmm... Ummm... well.... it's a flipping great screen; innt?"

Thumb Down

Doesn't suck...

This appeared on The Gadget Show a while back - in a conclusion that will come as a surprise to no one; it was deeply rubbish...
