Coors Light Super Bowl Tickets Inanity
If you want a chance to win Super Bowl tickets, then you can go submit a video at the Coors Light Super Bowl XLII Who Wants It More 2008 contest. However, just check out paragraph three of the official rules:
3. CONDITIONS OF ENTRY. Submitted video(s) must be the original creation(s) of the entrant and must mention Coors Light or Coors The Banquet beer. Obscene, offensive, disparaging, dangerous, defamatory, libelous, graphic, inapplicable, or sexually inappropriate videos, including, without limitation, those depicting violence, nudity, profanity, or illegal or sexually explicit activity or consumption of alcohol beverages, as determined at the sole and absolute discretion of the judges and Sponsor Entities, will not be considered. Videos may not use or reference NFL coaches, owners, players, past or current teams, famous people, or celebrities. Submitted video must be no shorter than 15 seconds and no longer than 120 seconds (two minutes) in length. Submitted video must be in .mov, .avi, or mpeg format; may not exceed a file size of 100 MB; and may not include any music. Any entry containing music will be disqualified. All persons appearing in submitted video must be at least 21 years of age at the time that video was filmed. The submitted video may not employ politics or political themes or consumption of alcohol beverages while driving; should not depict situations where beer is being consumed rapidly, excessively, involuntarily, as part of a drinking game, or as a result of dare; should not portray persons lacking control over their behavior, movement, or speech as a result of consuming beer; should not depict Santa Claus; should not employ religious themes; should not disparage competing beers; and should not depict gambling or betting on NFL games. By submitting an entry or accepting any prize, each entrant understands and agrees that his/her entry, including, without limitation, the video, may be posted online and further represents and warrants that his/her entry, in whole and in part: (i) is his/her original creation and has not been copied from any other work; (ii) does not violate or infringe any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of any person or entity; and (iii) is his/her sole and exclusive property. Each entrant further represents and warrants that he/she has obtained any third-party licenses, releases or other permissions that may be necessary with respect to any people or third-party property of any kind that are depicted in the entry. Sponsor reserves the right, in their sole and unfettered discretion, to disqualify at any time during the contest any video based on the belief that such film contains any materials that may infringe on the rights of any third parties. All entries submitted and all rights, titles, and interest thereto, including copyrights and derivative works and concepts or ideas depicted therein, become the sole property of Sponsor, may be used by Sponsor for any purpose and in any media whatsoever (without further compensation or review), and will not be returned. Sponsor reserves the right to crop, alter, modify, or distort any entry in whole or in part. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entry that does not meet the requirements herein outlined at any time.
In case your eyes glazed over while reading that, here are some highlights:
- You may not depict Santa Claus.
- You may not employ politics or political themes or consumption of alcohol beverages while driving
- You may not depict the consumption of alcohol beverages, particularly you should not depict situations where beer is being consumed rapidly, excessively, involuntarily, as part of a drinking game, or as a result of dare.
- You may not use or reference NFL coaches, owners, players, past or current teams, famous people, or celebrities.
Seriously, what the fuck is left? You can attribute this one to the seriously convoluted American legal system and our own twisted mores. I never would’ve noticed this without this Times article.
