Poll: Rush Limbaugh is giving away 10 iPhones, each with two-year calling plans
I was visiting the Rush Limbaugh Show website earlier today.
Didn’t go there out of political solidarity (far, far from it), but to see how Rush was going to spin President Bush’s outrageous commutation of Lewis Libby’s sentence into something justifiable to his neocon dittoheads.
While on the site, I discovered something interesting.
Starting on Monday and lasting for the next ten days (except for july 4), Rush is giving away a total of 10 iPhones.
Not only that, but the winning iPhones come with a check to cover the cost of two-year AT&T calling plans.
Rush’s spiel:
Everybody who wins an iPhone, we’re buying you a two-year service contract with AT&T. We will send you a check, roughly $1500, that will cover the cost of a two-year contract, which is mandatory. You have to sign up for two years with AT&T when you get an iPhone. So you’ll get the $1500 check, you’ll get the iPhone, you’re going to get a year subscription to Rush 24/7, and if you’re a current subscriber, we’ll extend your subscription by a year so that you can make full use of the podcasting capacity of the site in conjunction with the phone.
The phone works with iTunes and our podcasts of each day’s show, which are available soon, like an hour after the program at the latest. If things are working right, podcast gets downloaded, get it at iTunes, download it to your iPhone or your iPod, in this case the iPhone, and it’s all there.
Time for a poll.
