Obscure competition! Win a copy of Special – The Movie on DVD!

Just as we announce our Latvian Bad Day LA Determinance Tournament, so too we have two copies of brand new indie comedy Special – The Movie to give away to YOU, humble reader. Don’t ever let it be said that we don’t have quality prizes here at Mode 7.

Here’s some lovely fresh blurb about what you could win:

“Les Franken, a lonely parking enforcement officer who enjoys reading comic books, decides to take part in a clinical trial for a new and exciting antidepressant called ‘Special’.

An unexpected side effect of the drug renders him with superpowers – or so he thinks. While his doctor dismisses the drug’s side effects as an adverse psychological reaction to the medication, Les takes his cue from the comics he reads to embrace his newfound “powers” and quits his job to devote his life to fighting evil, real or imagined.”
So, yes, a free movie, lovingly posted using the postal service by myself, right to your door. But what do you have to do to achieve this?

You just have to take a picture. It can be a photo or a screengrab…anything really. And it has to be “special”. The two most “special” pictures will win the movies. Just take your picture, host it on the internet, and post a link to it in a comment after this post.

Here are the rules:

1.) Nothing too disturbing – I don’t want to be upset even more than usual

2.) Make it “special” – it’s up to you to define what that means

3.) My decision is final etc. yada yada….

EDIT: I would prefer also if the entries were not Photshopped extensively (but this is not a hard and fast rule). They don’t have to be related in any way shape or form to Determinance.

EDIT 2: The contest will end on…Friday the 2nd of March…if nobody enters then I’ll eat the DVD’s.
Get posting!

    The first one appears to be of a child and a chicken….and the second one has a metal alien in it. Hmm.

    The first one is a child of a burmese tribe, they are refugees of war, live at thailand with karen tribe (long necks).

    The second one is a shop at the night market. If you see the higher resolution of this one closely, you can see a lot of metal made characters (there is a yoda for example). They do that with screws, nuts, bolts and that kind of thingys.

    Both shot at thailand, and considered “special” by me.

    Very good, very good. I especially like the buttons which are in fact one large button.

    But…could you be trying to cynically win favour with the judges by featuring something you knew they (me) would find amusing?? WHO CAN SAY WHERE THIS WILL LAND YOU…

    I am confident everyone would find this hilarious. As soon as possible i will be hosting an audio clip – this will cement my choice as FINE.

    Oh man, sweet audio clips for extra credit, but you still won’t have a metal alien…

    Hmmm, My submission may need a bit of explanation.

    Me, my wife, and a friend went to…a “gentlemans club” in which the main attraction was “Tiny Tina”. So yeah, my submission for the “Special” contest is this. A picture of a me(hiding behind said “little person of the adult entertainment industry”), my friend, my wife, and “Tiny Tina” herself…feeling up my wife.

    [...] Just as it gets bumped from the front page, I want to remind you all to keep entering the “special” competition to win one of those DVD’s.  The entries so far have been a thing of genuine amazement. [...]

    I have a bit of a special streak myself. I didn’t have my OTHER pill in my mouth. It’s a generic uncoated Effexor, and it tastes like cat vomit.

    I have come to the conclusion that establishing a bit of a routine where I made a comment after each image was not a good plan on my part.
