On AAR, Contests, Lancrusiers and Shks

Hmm... ok so it was official till now that i cant stand the 'ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS'. (... their track 'dirty little secret' has begun to grow on me a little though - scary! )

Why am i writing this post again? To confess that i secretly admire the AAR and their taste in music ? F*** that!!

Its because the 'Rejects' have actually come up with a not-so-bad marketing strategy for themeselves this christmas. So get this.. they are holding a contest called the 'Holiday Photo Contest'. Their contest info reads -

Want to get a call from the Rejects for Christmas? Here's your chance. Make the most elaborate holiday decoration on your house, car, wall, whatever featuring anything AAR: logos, pictures, lyrics, anything! Take a pic of you with your decor and submit it, and the guys will pick their 5 favorite decorations. Those 5 people will get a call from the Reject of their choice, just for being such bad-ass fans. Not only that, their photos will be featured on the AAR website, and they will be made a part of the Top 8 friends on AAR's MySpace!!

So basically, if the Rejects were driving by on a sleigh, your house should be the one that would flag them down. Make it look as if on the 25th you're celebrating the birth of the All-American Rejects! Amen.

(bugger! anal design issues made me to type out that whole thing from a jpeg - so you peeps better read it )

When i heard about the contest, it made me wonder if the Shks of Dxb would ever consider having a contest of similar sorts. I mean..

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THOSE LANDCRUISERS ON SHK ZD ROAD WITH THE OVERDONE COLLAGEY IMAGES OF THE SHKS????

(ofcourse 'overdone' refers to the use of every possible photoshop filter available in the package: lens flares + rainbow gradients + embossings + glows + blurs + dropshadows + bla bla bla, should really post an image of this sometime) --- ghastly!

The landcrusier with the most 'overdone' image wins free one years subscription to a 'wasta' privillege card ... perhaps ?
