Back in #1!
Sep. 10th, 2009 01:15 amLadies and Gentlemen (and
mithras),
I'm not sure why I haven't posted this before. Probably laziness.
There is a contest being run by Victoria's Secret, wherein the winner gets a paid spa trip to NYC. One of the contestants is a young woman named Casey, who is suffering from a rare form of cancer. Since this was brought to my attention by
jblaque, I have been voting for her every day, in the hopes that she would win the contest.
There have been all kinds of skullduggery and basic internet shit-headedness going on in this contest. People using automated scripts have attempted to steal the contest for a variety of people, and such scripts were also used on Casey's entry in order to get her disqualified.
I am happy to say that the IT staff at Victoria's Secret has finally resolved a number of the problems with the contest entries and voting system, and Casey is back in the #1 position.
The contest ends on the 14th of this month.
Casey's entry in the contest. Please, if you could, vote once a day (only once) for Casey.
Edit: Voting appears to be disabled currently, but hopefully, it will be back up soon™.
Thank you.

This in no way should be taken to be sentimental or emotional on my part. I am still a cold-hearted bastard. Just sayin'.
