Feb 11 2009Thanks for Buying This DVD--Here's Weed
Marijuana is still illegal most places--sorry to pull the plug on that laser light show--but here's what Revolver Entertainment is prepared to do if you buy The Wackness on DVD and get the winning case: you get weed! Or a weed I.O.U., more specifically:
Revolver Entertainment is putting a Willy Wonka-style golden ticket in one of the first 1,000 copies of The Wackness, out this week on DVD.The finder of the golden ticket wins a weekend for two in Amsterdam where they will collect a gram of high-grade skunk, courtesy of Revolver.
(Thanks, Pat.)
Upon hearing the news of the Willy Wonka-style golden weed ticket, potheads across Britain lazily nodded their heads and made vows with the guy beside them to "totally buy that shit, man," then were reminded how "fucked up Willy Wonka is," spent several hours discussing the validity of Wonka's magic candies, tried to remember the lyrics to the Oompa Loompa songs, and forgot how they started talking about this in the first place.

so, they are going to fly you all the way over to Amsterdam to buy you A GRAM of weed. Depending on where you go thats anywhere from $10 to $20 and you dont get stuck with owning a DVD starring that kid from Drake and Josh.

They probably can't hook you up with more because of liability. If they are going to handle transportation, hotel (?), and throw in enough to get you started, I think that's a great deal.

I would just be stoked to go to amsterdam on their cash. The gram is just extra. I can purchase my own heady reef whilst I look around at the prospects.

stoned revalation: (no joke) wonka backwards is "a know" (as in how black people say "I know")

It doesn't matter, this movie sucked anyway.

Let's all take movie advice from Jared... who watches Drake and Josh. They fly you to Amsterdam and y'all are tripping over not getting more than a gram of some diggity dank.

AWESOME!!! I am in the UK, and off to by my copy right now. Love this movie, was never sad enough to watch Drake and Josh, so i just watched it for what it was, and its great.
Best competition ever, basically a Weed lottery.
