Hey, not to sound ungrateful or anything, but doesn't the whole "plead your case" bit lack creativity? I mean it's pretty damn cool that USWings's gonna give a jacket away, but the whole contest seems a little simple doesn't it?
Whatever happened to the good ol' days where a fan would have to take a kick-ass Indyesque photo in order to win something? What happened to fan-art contests? Now it seems like whoever concocts the biggest sob story'll win. "Oh geeze I was in a plane crash and my cat died, my wife's in jail and the toaster's been laughin' at me."
Just my two cents.
