My free Senseo coffee maker ($64 value) came today (with 18 free coffee pods!), so I thought I'd share the good news of how you can get one too. The curious might enjoy this FAQ:
What do I have to do to get this free item and screw over The Man?
Go here and fill out a survey. You don't have to give your credit card # or any of your friends' email addresses or sign up for other offers.
How does this survey involve the art of drama?
You will be playing a character who hosts a lot of regular gatherings, has a blog, and loves to share the good news of how important a good coffee maker is to one's fulfillment in life.
Should I fill out the survey with all the "right" answers?
Maybe, but I chose to fill it out using the second most influential-sounding answer. For example: my 'Ladies-only Sober Poker Night' meets bi-weekly instead of weekly. As do my 'Chick Lit Book Club Coffee Clatch' and my 'Stitch n Bitch n Rave About Household Appliances' Circle. My Desperate Housewives Watching Party meets weekly, however, for obvious reasons. But it does involve a (coffee) drinking game.
Don't you realize that it doesn't matter what you answer, everyone who fills out the survey will get a free Senseo, because after a few months of buying the exclusive Senseo-brand coffee pods it will have paid for itself?
Of course. But I don't really drink much coffee. I JUST LIKE FREE THINGS.
Don't you realize that by posting this on your blog, you are putty in the hands of the Senseo people, and the joke is, in the end, on you?
Yes, but I GOT SOMETHING FREE that at some point, some other sucker has paid for.
And you can, too.
I did the whole survey thing and perhaps even lied when asked how many people I would entertain and tell about the lovely Senseo coffee maker. I was very disappointed because they replied back saying they only had a limited number...so I think that's Senseo's way of saying I'm not getting one. Damn.
