UPDATED WITH WINNERS!! Two Blu-Ray Copies Of BREAKING BAD Season Two!! Herc’s Monday Giveaway Part I!!
Provisionally winning new BREAKING BAD 2.x Blu-rays: @mathlete12 & @plashmaster if they send herculesAICN@yahoo.com their shipping addresses
I am – Hercules!!
It’s Monday, the day we give stuff away in celebration of my first 10 years overseeing AICN’s TV section!
Today, in anticipation of the third-season premiere of the extraordinary “Breaking Bad” – March 21 at 10 p.m. on AMC -- we are giving away TWO of the season-two Blu-ray copies of “Breaking Bad” that hit shelves tomorrow.
All you have to do is:
1) “Follow” me on Twitter.
2) Constantly monitor my Twitter account between noon and 6 p.m. Pacific Time Monday, March 15. At some point during this window I will post a contest question on my Twitter account. Two of the first people to correctly answer this question via Twitter AFTER I pose it via Twitter will get his or her own copy of Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season on Blu-ray.
IMPORTANT!! To make things a little more difficult this week we’re not going to give the question here. But you’ll know it on my Twitter account because it will begin with “BBQ.” (That stands for “Breaking Bad Question.”)
IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don’t screw this up!
IMPORTANT!! If you answer the question BEFORE I post the question in Twitter you will be automatically disqualified.
IMPORTANT!! This contest is only available to residents of the United States.
IMPORTANT!! If you are declared provisional winner, immediately forward Herc your shipping address and phone number: herculesAICN@yahoo.com. If you fail to do so within 24 hours, Herc will assign the prize to another.
Contestants are free to unfollow my Twitter account post-contest, but it might behoove them to remain following for two reasons:
1) I’m not a Twittering fiend. I’ve tweeted fewer than 600 times since I set up the account last April.
2) I’m going to be giving away a lot more supercool prizing via that account in the coming days and weeks. And I may be announcing these contests only on Twitter.
Again, I will update this post after the winner wins.
10 p.m. March 21. AMC.

And this has nothing to do with this post.

.. another crappy Twitter contest.
No thanks. -
Because it's an idiotic web fad that has no use in real life?
-
and I'm gonna win!
-
I think what you meant was, "I don't use Twitter, so I guess this contest isn't for me. But I think it's awesome you're giving away free blu-ray copies of a great show to AICN fans!"it feels good not to be a bitter, cynical asshole, you should try it. I promise you'll love it.
-
I'm too old and not in touch with my feminine side enough to Twitter or Twat or whatever.
-
I think what he meant was, "Only brain dead pieces of useless shit use Titter so I guess this contest isn't for me."
-
"I set up the account last April."Not anymore - tweets now number 615; time for Hercules to change "fewer than" to "just over". Of course by the time of the next contest it might be best to just change the number to "fewer than 650".
-
Urgh. Not that I can win anything.
-
What am I following? I'm fucking 40 years old. I can handle reading whole paragraphs. You're a writer, fucking write them. Twit.
-
Because twatter sucks ass. Please change "Constantly follow me on twatter" to "Waste lots of your fucking time"
Jeez, get a fucking clue. -
I'm glad I'm not alone in my hatred of Twattering around here to win shit.
-
Some of these prizes are nice, but no way am I bothering with Twitter, or sitting like a drooling idiot following a Twitter feed for hours, for a chance at one. I'd much rather just buy the damn thing.
-
Are you listening? No more twatter contests. We're not fourteen, we don't use a service for the galactically stupid, and we aren't going to play nice.
-
Add RSS feeds per author. Make articles taggable, etc.
Harry, if you've got nothing going right now in the pipeline, contact me; I'll set you up a good site at a very low-balled price. -
That's why Hollywood has gone "Tweet crazy".
-
Fuck you!
-
I'm extremely popular in my own mind...what a twit...
-
contests done this way just arent being fair to everyone. new tweets dont immediately appear to everyone at the same moment. my wife and i can both be logged on and a new one will show up as much as a minute or two apart. so to award the FIRST answers is unfair.
-
Seriously, there has been hundreds of contests on AICN in history that haven't involved following goddamn Herc on Twitter. This is unfair.
-
your numerous public appearances at KFC...
-
abc is rebooting star search with paula abdul as host and judge
-
tons of actors are now forcing their lackeys to sit by a computer all day and type the most inane shite and idiot fans are falling for it, believing the stars themselves waste their lives just like they do attention, there is only one ahole that twitters...kevin smith....and thats cuz he has gotten so fat, his wife wont touch him
-
It doesn't make sense to me that you're celebrating your 10 yrs of writing on this website by giving free stuff away via another website.
-
If I had been drinking milk just now, I would have spit it out my nose. Kevin needs a little ribbing after his recent string of shitty efforts like Catch & Release, Cop Out, and particularly for the ABC-123 song and dance shit in Clerks 2, which was otherwise kind of enjoyable.
-
what a waste...
-
People who tweet and expect a twat to consume said tweet should be water boarded.
