I can’t believe that anyone would actually fall for this badly written horse shit, but then I s’pose there’s one born every minute. The real clincher is that entrants were chosen in an effort to improve usage of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Yeah right, like I use that shit.
I guess they’re aiming right though. Anyone stupid enough to use IE would probably fall for this.
