E! Online Skeptic Nomorefan Takes Stupidity To A Whole New Level

nomorefan: Well, I guess Mr. Nicole Kidman has to pay his way to get a #1 hit now. Well, Capitol is flipping the bill actually. Get this - my radio station is giving a trip to Chicago to see Mr. Nicole Kidman open for the Dixie Chicks & the Eagles. In order to win, you have to listen for his song, which they play about every hour to qualify. Those winners get the big prize of the DG CD, and then one winner is picked for the all-expense paid trip from Capitol. So just think about how often TSCA gets played in a day, therefore increases its number of plays, and finally gets him up to #1.



We'd like to ask nomorefan what radio contest doesn't ask for a caller when you hear a song to win a prize? What big prize connected to an artist like a trip or car isn't footed by the record label? It's done for concert tickets or a measly free cd. We know you are trying hard after being completely and totally skewered but this is absolutely ridiculous. What planet are you on that you don't know all the major artists have radio promotion teams working the singles anyway? I think you want to forget Keith Urban earns his #1's. Oh yeah he's had #1's from Defying Gravity already!

Whose head is up their ass now, nomorefan?

***************************

FYI, here's the actual contest rules from nomorefan's station

"All this week between 9am and 5pm, be caller 22 at xxx.xxx.xxxx when you hear Keith Urban and you will win a copy of Keith Urban's CD "Defying Gravity" and be entered for a grand prize trip to Chicago!"


Doesn't say it has to be TSCA to win! Isn't Keith Urban played about every hour anyway? BAHAHAHA!

Yes, they just mentioned the contest on air, it can be any Keith Urban song and be Caller 22. Keith Urban is buying his way to #1 for sure!!!
