You'll never never know...

So I'm on YouTube yesterday morning, just before I leave for work and a commercial catches my eye.


It was for the Northern Territory and continuously rubbed my face how I've never been to see it's natural wonders! 
The commercial finished and there was a notice that saying "Click here to win a trip to the NT!"

I would love to see the Northern territory, so I was all over it!!

First it takes me to the Channel 10 website and says I have to watch a Channel 10 commercial and answer a question to win. 
I freekin' hate Channel 10, but whatever... as long as I can go to the land of the Never Never, I'll do what   it says.

?!
I really don't want to give them my home address...
Uhmm....
Think! 
Think!!

Stuff it. I want this trip. I'll just give them my freekin' address!
What next??

Watch this Channel 10 commercial to win!

So, I watched it. It was an awful ad for a new reality television show about some white-Australian family who live in the Northern Territory and own a helicopter. It was filled with shots of the family running around, going on about how fabulous their life is, how Australian they are, and how great it is to own a helicopter. 
(It also looked as though all the best bits were in the commercial and there is really no need to watch the show)


So after a minute and a half of Channel 10 attempting to brainwash me into watching their terrible waste of television space, I finally found the link to the competition!
I clicked and it took me to a blank page. 
I thought "Gee, this is taking for ever to load" and then I noticed some tiny text at the very bottom of the page:



















Competition is now closed
