I am – Hercules!!
In celebration of my first decade manning Ain’t It Cool’s TV desk, we are giving away TV box sets like they were going out of style.
All you have to do is:
1) “Follow” me on Twitter.
2) Constantly monitor my Twitter account between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. Pacific Time Wednesday, March 31. At some point during this window I will post a question on my Twitter account. One of the first readers to correctly answer this question via Twitter AFTER I pose it via Twitter will get his or her own copy of The Prisoner: The Complete Series On Blu-ray!!
IMPORTANT!! The question will begin with “PQ.” That stands for “Prisoner Question.”
IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don’t screw this up!
IMPORTANT!! This contest is only available to residents of the United States.
IMPORTANT!! If Herc provisionally declares you a winner, immediately forward your shipping address and phone number to herculesAICN@yahoo.com. If you fail to do so within 24 hours, Herc will assign the prize to another.
Even if you’re a giant loser today, look for more supercool prizing in the coming days and weeks!
I will update this post after the winner wins.

Stop this Twittering nonsense for giveaways!!!!

Right, like I'm gonna sign up for stupid fucking Twatter just to maybe get some free shit from you? Try again, cocksucker. Yet another reason this site is circling the drain. Jesus.
-
for making sure that people who work for a living can never win your prize.
-
Hunh. How did that second season go? Must've missed that one somehow.
-
How many times do WE have to tell you, we hate twitter? Are you that stupid, that you can't read what has been stated both politely and profanely? Jeez(tm), wake up and smell the coffee!
Of course, you'll justify your unpopular contests by saying that you get lots of responses. Lots of repsonses from lamers, apparently just like YOU.
Tell you what, why don't you just post here the same thing you post on twiiter? We can't wait to hear what you had for breakfast, what time you had your first bowel movement, how many new friends you have, how much you like the new Lady Gaga song, and all the other things that fourteen year olds like you post.
On the other hand, why don't you actually REVIEW a movie, just as a change of pace? All this heavy lifting giveway stuff in a way that irritates the vast majority of readers must be hard work. It obviously takes so much out of you that you can't simply DO YOUR JOB!
-30- -
Review a movie in coax, for god's sake.
-
Twitter sucks. I'd rather drop $50 at Best Buy on this Prisoner set than become a Twitter pod person.
-
What the hell? Some of us work for a living, Herc. How about something with a time that acknowledges not everyone lives in California?
-
is Demi Moore's butt.

Each and every week I see the same list of people saying the same thing, and every one of them seems to think they speak for everybody at Ain't It Cool News. It's great that some of you don't use Twitter, I was a holdout for a good long time. But there are plenty of people who DO use Twitter and enjoy not only reading what Herc says in his feed, but what friends, celebrities and family have to say. I'm not here to suggest that everybody likes Twitter (clearly that isn't the case), but I don't see what the big deal is. "How many times do WE have to tell you, we hate twitter?" asks skerns, who must assume that he's the leader of AICN talkbackers. Well, skerns, you don't speak for me or plenty of other people. How do I know? Because there are always people who win these prizes and it's not the same people over and over. Considering that only a few of my friends don't have Twitter accounts, sometimes it feels like it's the minority that are complaining. I don't have a Facebook account, yet you don't seem me crying about some of the things I miss out on. If I want to be part of it, I would sign up. It, like Twitter, is free. So get over it.
-
However, it's your sandbox. Though, why not make it Facebook, too? Just a thought, Herc lad.
-
then do the one after that on Friendster
-
Is it that you don't want to pay shipping or something to do with legalities? I thought you were just giving away swag you got.Just askin'.
-
Be my friend, and I'll give you beer and money. All you have to do is reply to the occasional email, and return my phone calls.
-
I have no interest in a Twitter, Facebook or MySpace account. I like to get in touch with people the old fashioned way.
-
Like posting on a message board?
Couldn't resist.
;) -
some nice product that his mom is making him get out of her basement. Eventually you will be able to "tweet'n'win" Herc himself when everything else is done...
-
Wow, why are you so angry? I mean, seriously, go back and read what you wrote. WHY?!?!?!
-
Now there's an annoying app that needs to die... friggin FourSquare. Retarded.
-
Not trying to be mean here, but just want to play devil's advocate. Why not sign up for twitter just for Herc's contests (assuming you want to participate in these contests)? It's free and you can still communicate with your friends the old fashioned way. I think twitter is frightening, but cool. I once finished reading a comic book only to look at my computer and find a message to me from the author. Like I said kinda scary in a way, but cool! Plus I pose the question: how come communicating on ain't it cool is fine, but twitter is not?
-
Maybe I spiked the vitriolic outrage back there, but I just can't hang with Herc's "Twitter-whore" antics, ESPECIALLY when he holds a giveaway hostage to what's basically an "up my friend count" ploy. Twitter is complete and utter narcissistic bullshit of the first order. Worse than MySpace, worse than Facebook. Disclaimer: I actually use both of those for my own networking and goof off antics with friends and associates, but I could give a rat's ass about elevating my friend count just to elevate my friend count. If Twitter works for some, great. But it's just plain bullshit for Herc to essentially be forcing us to participate in his "lookit me" antics just to maybe hopefully score some swag.
Thus, my rant. :) -
That's an interesting theory. Maybe Herc is trying to up his friend count with this contest. However that doesn't bother me. What is so bad about helping someone up there friend count. Herc even says you can unfollow him anytime you want. Even if you didn't what is so bad about helping someone get twitter friends? Really I just am glad that these prizes are being offered and I just hope that I can win one!
-
Hercules will post the question in the Personals section of the newspaper. Send your answers by telegram; the first one delivered to Hercules will be the winner. All telex entries will be disqualified.
-
I don't read newspapers! Plus I don't live near Herc! What the fuck is Herc thinking? I only communicate to people in person. Why can't he just postpone the contest for a year so I can get there by my horse and wagon! He's so inconsiderate...
-
The Wire
Kingpin
The Corner
NYPD Blue
Homocide: Life on the Street
ER
...to name a few -
Damn, HAD to go to the bathroom at the time when Herc posted. Probably lost this one.
-
Oh well I didn't win the prisoner again. Maybe I'll have better luck with another prize? Thanks anyway Herc. This is very cool!
-
If someone had answered number 6 would that have been correct? You could argue that the character in the Columbo episode is the same as in Danger Man who could be the same as in the Prisoner! That wasn't my answer, but still would have been an interesting answer.
-
Someone should speak for you. You do a poor job of it. Someone wins Herc sophomoric giveaways because there is always someone like you willing to debase himself to do so.
If you'd actually been reading for more than a single post, you would've seen that the vast majority of responders have castigated Herc for running these contests on a service that is not popular except with fourteen year old girls and everybody's grandma. Which are you? Contests on twitter, facebook, myspace, yearbook, spatter, spitter, racebook, myface, etc., etc., are inhernently unfair to just about everyone whether they wish to participate in that service or not. Peple at work cannot monitor these pages because, hmm, they're at WORK! If their job even allows access to sites of this kind, the guys that sign the checks usually expect productivity not wasting time on some social site. I, and MANY others have stated in no uncertain terms that we do not approve of Herc's choice. If he's too pigheaded or just stupid enough to continue to do so just to annoy us, so be it. AICN isn't nearly what it oncfe was, I've barely seen a decent review here in months, just incessant babble about Avatar, screening announcements,Hercs annoying contests, and the continous FIRST! posts in talkbacks. Everyone in here seriouly needs to get a life, myself included. Oh, yeah. FUCK twitter. -
That's like eating a hamburger without the bun. For shame, Hercules.
-
Anyone see WALL-E? Those obese, wired humans living on pure tech and un-social networking? This is what the world's becoming with the needless use of crap like Facebook, Twitter and Myspace bollocks! THIS IS A WEBSITE, there is nothing you can do on Twitter or Facebook to present and execute a competition that you can't do on the very WEBSITE that the people here come to in the first place! Before Tweeting and Booking your Face, did anyone announce competitions on a site and then give their phone number and personal address for everyone to call and come visit in order to enter? NO! Facebook and Twitter is for people who have the need to share their underwear! Just keep it real and sensible and hold the competition here where it actually makes sense and keep the pointless diversion for tweety-hits and FB-Friends accumulation fever out of the equation!
