This contest is over! Provisional congrats to @_tPee, @casale2a, @TerryErickson, @darklight1138 and @ADKid25!!
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 are going out of style!
All you have to do is:
1) “Follow” me on Twitter.
2) Monitor my Twitter account between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Pacific Time Monday, July 26. At some point during this window I will post a question on that Twitter account. Five of the first readers to correctly answer this question via Twitter will win Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Third Season On Blu-ray, which hits shelves Tuesday.
IMPORTANT!! The question will begin with “BSGQ.”
IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don’t screw this up!
IMPORTANT!! This contest is available only 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!
Follow Herc on Twitter!!

So sue me.
-
But when I win the Blu-rays I, too, will have a contest. Details TBD.
-
Turns out: Delicious.
-
I never get an answer. Why are these things only open to residents of the United States? Your website is read all over the world.
-
I've got a basic idea what it is, based on stupid entertainment news talking about Ashton thingy (kutcher? Kutchner?). As far as I can tell, it's just people saying what they had for breakfast.
-
It is entirely too much work to truly be the pointless waste of time I was hoping it was. Also, with all the stupid coding in all the messages I can't understand half the shit on there. I'll probably just end up deleting it. Can't I just "Like" you on Facebook and win something that way?
-
The DVDs/BDs are Region 1/A. I suppose that counts out enterprising geeks with region free players, but let's face it, you guys ARE the minority.
-
That's an answer at least, so thanks. <p> I was never gonna get one otherwise.
-
...seeing as I've been coming here almost every day since the site began. Is it too much trouble to stick a bit more postage on for your loyal UK readers?
-
...and I didn't join the exodus after the pork-loving one's Blade II review.

Why Twitter?
by OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
I already visit this site at least once a day. I don't get it.
-
I will now turn this message board into the average Twitter account...
-
I am eating eggs. Mmm, delicious.
-
Ha ha ha! They're all over!
-
What a bummer! Sucks 2 B me!
-
I better hit the head because these eggs are making me want to take a mammoth shit.
-
...and at the same time, I am participating in what passes in modern America for intellectual discourse! Twitter rocks my world! LMAO!!! ROTFL!!!
-
...now there's shit everywhere.
-
Any1 have anee ideeuhs?
-
I need sum stuff.
-
...cuz that's what twitter is gud for...
-
and toilet paper
-
Almost forgot those! Ha ha! I'm so absent-minded! Can you believe it? I know, right? Yeah, no, I really need them.
-
Eggs R D-lish! TBIM! AICN=ThumbsUp; Twitter=ThumbsDown! HTMMDLHWEM, HENMENSLEHNNS & HTYJMWEMQOTYB
-
My mug is almost empty...and it's one of those giant soup bowl type coffee mugs that hold like an entire kettle's worth of coffee so I guess I drank a lot of coffee this morning and aren't you glad there's such a thing as Twitter so that you can share in every little trivial piece of shit detail that occurs in my life because Twitter is for people who are so ridiculously out of touch with intelligent discourse that they actually think there are people out there who WANT to read every little useless thought or uninformed opinion they have floating around in their tiny pea-size brains...
-
I almost forgot to ask! BSG rocks my world! Deth to hayters! I loved the finale! God and angels! By the way, have you all accepted Christ as your personal savior yet? You know, if Christ were alive today, he would spread the good word via Twitter...he'd be one twittering holy mothrfucker if you ask me...
-
...and I can share that fact on Twitter! Yes!
-
...and if they ban me and delete all these, it would only prove the ultimate hypocrisy, since this is exactly what 86.4 percent of Twitter users actually do on Twitter.
-
...I don't have to prove the above statistic at all, since no one needs valid sources for the bullshit they spew online...better yet, no one who reads this shit even thinks that valid sources need to exist.
-
Ha ha ha! I guess I'm sort of irritable this morning, huh? Yeah, no, I mean, like, I need to, I don't know, lighten up or something, ya think?
-
...huh. What else to say...
-
<still thinking>...ha ha ha!
-
Boy, that's one crazy-ass motherfucker right there, boy, I tell ya...

But I'll bet that Russkie bee-yotch is totally framing him...
by MJohnson
...cuz that's wut Russkie beeyotches do...frame people and shit...
-
...and she totally framed my ass too. So I know where Mad Mel is coming from...
-
...who else would I share this shit with? Cuz I sit in my parents basement all day long instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue and social interaction face to face with real people...
-
brb, ok? Luvs ya...
-
it's a sext! Cool!
-
Yeah, I'll bet you do, you poor horny bastards. Too bad! It's all for me. And it's hot too. I mean, it's really hot...bet you wish you could read it, right? I know, right? It's all mine! Mine!
-

It's the extreme doses of phosphor exposure from the screen...
by MJohnson
...it's rendered me sterile and I can't get it up no more.
-
I have a lot of sex. No, really, I do.
-
...but I'd need a lot more hands. hahahahahaha! Get it?
-
...cuz it's crazy sexy cool and I luv it. Ohhhh...Twitter gets me so hot...
-
Cuz that's pretty much what most guys are like who use Twitter.
-
BRB XOXO Fell the luv, ya'll...
-
but I misspelled it! HAHAHA! Does that ever happen to you guys when you use Twitter? I do that shit all the tyme.
-
Point made? Fuck Twitter. Fuck Twitter contests. Fuck Twitter users. If anything has ever been invented in the history of humanity that is a good argument for restricting various freedoms of speech, it's fucking Twitter and the fucking fuckity fucks who use it. Fuck. You. Twitter.
-
Fuck Twitter contests.
-
even though i'm in europe... can i enter the contest?

What do you mean the answer has to begin with @hercaicn?
by SierraTangoFoxtrotUniform
What do you mean the answer has to begin with @hercaicn? I type THAT and then the answer? I've never used twitter before.

I have to ask why all of these giveaways have to be on twitter all the time? I am on this site everyday and have been coming here for years. I don't have a twitter and also I have to work and couldn't spend all day following it anyway. How about making some of these contests random giveaways for those of us who are loyal visitors of this site and don't have the time to do the whole twitter thing. It really seems unfair to me.
-
It is a requirement of the distributor issuing the prizes. They have different distribution deals for different countries, so are bound to do things in their home country only. If the UK distributor offered the prize they could do it for UK residents.
-
shipping ain't gonna be much more! :(
-
I told you all!! Lol
-
I learned to stop asking the "why do the contests on twitter" question long ago. The fact that Herc hasn't actually responded EVER just means he has no real answer that makes any sense and doesn't care that he's pissing some people off. Also, nobody has anything to say that's worth a damn in 140 characters or less. Twitter, among many other things, is what is making us dumber and dumber as a species. Thanks for killing our children's brain cells, asshole.
-
"Also, nobody has anything to say that's worth a damn in 140 characters or less." <p> Most of the posts in AICN talkback are less than 140 characters. In fact, that sentence of yours I just quoted is less than 140 characters. <p> In any case, there are millions of readers willing to pay the $500,000 fee to join twitter and win these valuable prizes, so I am all kinds of cool with your irrational hatred.
-
con·temp·tu·ous —Synonyms disdainful, sneering, insolent, arrogant, supercilious, haughty. I have now lost all respect for you Herc, and i suspect i am not alone in this.

Irrational Hatred?
by OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
I already joined your site. Why would I join someone else's? Sadly, it must because I have irrational hatred.

I didn't think I had a chance in hell to win this much less anything since my luck plain sucks. It just so happens that I JUST got a Blu-ray player and had added BSG Blu-rays to my Netflix queue. I am having a shitty life right now so winning this makes me inexplicably happy. Thanks a million, Herc!
-
I am not being hateful. I was just hoping that perhaps a few of these contests could be opened up for those of us who can't follow on twitter. I work a job where I can't have a cell phone, so if I try to win I will most likely get canned. I would just like a chance to win some of these great prizes too. I enjoy Herc's articles quite a bit and just wanted to throw that suggestion out. Thanks.
