Winners of Panasonic's Live in HD contest are... living in HD

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 11th 2008 at 3:03AM

Way back in August of last year, Panasonic opened the gates to its Live in HD contest -- which would gift winning families with $20,000 in HD gear along with free HD service for a year -- and needless to say, the entries came flooding in. Now, the first of the victorious families are getting to enjoy the spoils, which means playing with a completely free Wii, Blu-ray player, 50-inch HDTV, camcorder, digital camera and whatever else makes up $20k worth of wares. In exchange, Panny is extracting answers about "how they use the equipment and what they like or dislike about the products so the company can make improvements." For one particular family, their newly furnished home has become quite the hang out, but we've all ideas they have absolutely no qualms with that.

Gee, that's amazing, once again a large 5 person "family" wins the "data gathering contest". I would have been disappointed if Monmmie wasn't a pretty blonde, and look at those teenie device aged kiddies...
Does ANYONE believe these contests aren't rigged anymore ?
I figured it out a long time ago when McaDee's Monopoly game was rigged and they blasted it all over the news for a full two seconds, then quickly forgot about it in favor of averting wall street panic crashing all the emotionally bloated near worthless hyped stock prices for CEO's golden parachutes and blood sucking greedy friends, families, and board billionaire members.
Call and talk to Chuck (Charles Schwabb) like their latest commerical claims, and come stay for free at my island paradise, too, you've won, as long as you're a Survivor fanbio family, all talk nice and don't swear, and have a white picket fence and 2.5 children and a 2 stall garage in suburbia.

Highly Ranked
