Ok, this scares me.
At first I thought it was just a funny play on words or, at the very least, copy that was written and published by someone within Charmin; just as they were notified of termination.
Nope, not a disgruntled employee. An actual contest that will really face off in NY. Here is what Charmin has to say about themselves…
Charmin wants to create a movement where the entire nation can enjoy a better bathroom experience.
We’re calling it the Charmin Go Nation. It’s made up of people who actually enjoy going to the bathroom because they have Charmin bathroom tissue.We want you to get behind our movement.
Join the Charmin Go Nation. Help us bring the meaning of “Enjoy the Go” to life, and spread the word throughout the nation.
Want to represent your state in the Charmin Go Nation?
Enter the Charmin Go Nation Contest. Submit a video showing us why you’re the best representative of “Enjoy the Go” from your state/district. Or, check out our casting locations to enter in person. Want to know more about what it takes to be a Charmin Go Nation Representative? Check out the Official Rules.
What’s in it for you?
Our Charmin Go Nation Representatives will have three weeks to prove they “Enjoy the Go” most in a competition.
The five Charmin Go Nation Representatives who earn the most points will win a trip to NYC to compete in a finale event for the $50,000 Grand Prize.
Ready to get behind the movement? Show us what you’ve got. But get your video in soon! The deadline for entries is 5:00 pm ET, November 7, 2010.
Still interested? Head on over here.
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
Well I feel there is a lot of bias and discrimination and favoritism involved in these kind of contests and they are indeed very “unfair” in judging just like we have seen in past times as it has been the case with “American Idol” and other such type of shows and programs. I want you to take a closer look at my own submission found on youtube.com, and tell me what made it not be a winning submission for the contest please? Not because I did it but I thought it was very clever and funny don’t you?
Sincerely,
Ernie G
