At this point I think ALL contestants deserve an iPod Nano. I have also posted a response on the article regarding a jack kit (which I just happened to stumble upon) <A HREF="http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000723062353/#c505084" REL="nofollow">here...</A> <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>and these were my two cents:<BR/><BR/>Autoblog: You have got to be kidding. I have been a loyal reader who spent an entire Saturday reading through previous posts and preparing my entry. I was trying to win the Nano for my girlfriend, because I would spend so much time at Autoblog. So, I spend an entire extra day here, and this is what you do?<BR/><BR/>As previously mentioned here, I believe it is illegal to announce a contest, accept entries until the deadline, and then reneg on the entire thing. It is most definitely unethical. Over 100 people spent a lot time and effort on their entries, and as part of the entry, posted this information on their own blog, advertising for you. I even recall a post concerning the Nano, that Autoblog had already gone out and purchased it and was just waiting to determine the winner. This is completely unacceptable and disappointing.<BR/><BR/>I began to get suspicious when I heard nothing about who won, and then searched for the original post about the contest to no avail. Isn't that journalistically unethical behavior for a blog of this sort to remove previous postings? Very, very disappointed in what used to be my favorite website, and seriously considering legal action.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>As I mentioned, I too had entered the contest and I believe the post is dated as well for some form of proof (seeing as it seems they are trying to make the whole thing disappear as if it didn't happen).<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://technicalpatience.blogspot.com/2005/09/autoblog-ipod-nano-contest.html" REL="nofollow">Technical Patience contestant</A>Techhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748789665610881059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16992206.post-1128824598291575702005-10-08T21:23:00.000-05:002005-10-08T21:23:00.000-05:00Amen i spent alot of time putting together my entr...Amen i spent alot of time putting together my entry just to see the contest disapear.
