Got this sweepstakes offer in the mail today. As I've gotten into the habit of reading all things junk mail, I flipped it over to read the fine print on the back.

What's with the special conditions for Canadians?

No contest is legal in Canada without a skill testing question. Not sure why.

Nearly all Canadian gaming and gambling laws are upside down, so it's no surprise really...

It's because Canadians are smarter than Americans so they expect Canadians to get it right... LOL

Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

  At least we didn't vote for Obama. Good job there.
