Hummer H2 Added To Contest Prize Pool – Now at $71,435
April 1, 2008 - Written by Gyutae Park
I have some unbelievable news for all of you… Just when we thought the Craziest Internet Marketing Contest You’ve Ever Seen would end at a crazy $15,575, a sponsor has stepped up and offered an INSANE prize the day before the end of the contest that will increase the prize pool by over 5 times.
What’s the prize you ask?
A brand new 2008 H2 Hummer valued at over $56,000. It looks like some huge companies have been following the contest and reading the comments… Now I don’t know whether or not to use this for the current contest or to hold off until another record-breaking contest, but this is absolutely crazy. It makes me wish I wasn’t hosting so that I can win one for myself.
I can’t disclose the name of the sponsor right now because all of the legalities haven’t been taken care of yet. However, I can say that it is basically a done deal with a big-name Internet company that you have definitely heard of.
A more official announcement will be made tomorrow but my biggest suggestion to you right now is to perform as many contest clues as you can before Wednesday. You could have a free Hummer H2 show up in front of your door… :-O

Dude you have got to be kidding me. I said jokingly at the start of this contest that I wouldn’t mind a new hummer.
I suggested the H2 early on and it stuck on a bunch of the posts.

Gyutae could end all the speculation by confirming or denying the reality of this prize. Personally, I believe it’s for real and I’m going to blog about it.
I don’t know maybe it’s a joke, a $56,000 prize on the last day of the contest doesn’t seem like a smart thing for a sponsor to do.
I don’t exactly measure how reliable this information right now since it’s april fools month, but the way Mr Gyutae Park blogged it here sounds crazy. Park is not only going wild hahaha but truly going crazy with april month for crazy things.
Gyutae and his supposed sponsor could be real insane if they put this huge prize in the last day of the contest. Hmmmmm..this sounds fishy announcement Mr. Park.
Haven’t you people heard of april fools day?
Problem is this post is dated April 1st…. so I don’t know if its real or not….
If it were real it wouldn’t have been posted today.
michael
Lmao
So now I have to wonder, was extending this contest until after April fools, your evil plan to fool wisdom? Haha, jk.
This can’t be real… But damn – Think you win the prize for Best April 1st Prank!
April fools
April Fools, good one.
RFOL.
Good one Dude
As posted previously.. I feel this whole Contest was a planned april fools joke..
I wont be suprise if Gyutae breaks a news tomorrow as “HAPPY APRIL FOOL” and just has a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who were fooled..
Doubt that will happen. Readers of this blog will turn on the sponsors and he will have them coming after him.
Michael
Happy April Fools day.
lol. WTW readers are smart enough
bwhahahaha
Too funny.
Michael
do they come in beige ?? ….
DOH… april fool
gotta be kiddin’…
the hummer might’ve been one of the autobots :p
I’m the one that started the thread on the H2 for this contest. Good April Fools joke, very funny.
michael
I see the comment count numbers are updated, you are going to include the March comment numbers, right?
Michael
Almost forgot. Was I number one or did Andrew sneak in and beat me last night?
Michael
BTW you can tell it is an April Fools Joke because the total prize value did not change in the main contest image at the top of the page.
Michael
Why would Gyutae ask us to complete more clues to get more points and then pull the rug out from under us. That wouldn’t be cool, I don’t believe he would do that.
I meant the H2, not the whole contest. Sorry I didn’t elaborate, my bad.
Michael
April 1st…hm
And if this IS true, that will mess up my final prize pool prediction clue
I guessed way high, so I would be kinda close.
michael
If this were an April fool’s joke, it would backfire, big time!
Hey, that kind of looks like Shoemoney’s Hummer. Of course, his would be used.
To some readers, Shoemoney’s used Hummer be worth more than a new one
That is gonna cost you a fair bit to ship over to the UK for me..
Don’t worry about that, the Hummer is going to be shipped to my house in Florida.
Wow some people really like to spam the comments…
Let me know when’s a good time to pick it up. Actually, shipping it to me may be cheaper than the gas to drive it back here.
April fools day!
Dude…this is a cyreus prize for a cyreus contest!
Nice joke, hahahaha, I want a wine colored one.
Can you trade it for a couple of nice Prius Hybrids?
I would go broke filling that thing up.
Good Joke! I would not have thought about doing something like that on my blog. Cute idea!
Check out http://www.dailyblogtips.com! He just sold his blog site for $168,000 and announced it today.
Can we exchange that for cash instead? I don’t think the shipping cost to Malaysia will be cheap. Maybe I could send that to a friend of mine if I won.
IF this were true, and if I won it, I’d sell it. $56,000 in cash is nice.
If you need any friends in the US I would be more then happy ….
Good luck to you.
Michael
Mind games.
This is just like the Winningtheweb T-shirt promised to those who voted before and never got it. It’s a joke!
I already own a hummer and let me tell you, I wouldn’t mind having another one of these especially since mine is an ’04.
We had a blizzard last year that stranded 400 kids at school overnight and my wife was stranded on the highway for 8 hours… that is, until I off-roaded passing everyone on the highway to get to her and my kids. Yes I would definitely get another one of these.
The hummer is a bada$$ car.
LMAO…nice way to finish off the contest. Too funny!
Oh my GOD…
Lol…you gotta be kidding me! I will do more reviews comin’ up buddy. hahahahaha….
Added your post to one of my beer stocks here for more exposure:

Whoah. You have got to be kidding me. You HAVE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THIS CONTEST. ARE YOU NUTS????? That will be the biggest winner of all!
WAIT A MINUTE. Is this an April Fool’s Joke????????????
Just so you guys know, Gyutae’s entire contest was REALLY an April Fool’s joke. But I have to admit, it was a good marketing technique, I mean, look at how many people subscribed to his RSS Feeds and his mailing list!
Jay
That’s not true. Heh, imagine the revolt that would ensue.
I knew it was from the start, but wanted to play along with the joke by participating. A lot of people actually bought into this contest…
Wow that’s great.
Hey Gyutaze – I’ve got 2 questions to ask you, both of which would mean exposure for you. If you could drop me an email or message me via facebook that would be great
Ronda
RRRK! Gyutae – sorry fingers fumbled. Did not mean to mess your name!
Ronda
Now that’s a good one. You almost had me there for a second
Even if you give it for free I will not take it.Who will pay the taxes and custom charges.Look below for my best reply.

One of the better contest prizes, but I’d still rather win that iPod touch!!!
Though it’s for sure an April Fool’s joke, if I win I’m selling the H2. Any takers?
Going to be tough holding out until tomorrow to see who won what.

I hope for wtw’s sake that this is real. Can you imagine how many years people would be talking about this if it’s real? Guess if it’s not real, they’ll talk about it too only not in a good way.
Anyhow good luck to everyone!
But since there is currently no exposure for the sponsors of the Hummer, it would be a loss for them.
Now if the Hummer is painted with their logo or something, made the national news, etc then it might turn a positive ROI for them.
Good luck with the contest.
Michael
lol, good one. Though would be pretty damn awesome.
Dude, of course it’s a joke, I mean, common. On April’s fool day??
What time will the winners be announced? I am anxious to see if I won anything.
Awesome contest and what a fun month is was.
Thanks for the fun stuff to do!
Michael
p.s. You got me hooked on Entrecard now.
Looking forward to the announcement of the winners tomorrow.
Seriously, if anyone is still confused; the contest is real, the hummer isn’t. Don’t need an official post from Gyutae to figure it out, lol.
More prize added at contest last minute???!!!You should held this contest oftenly
Is this prize is part of April Fool ?…It’s working to me than
That would’ve been awesome if it were real. :[
Haha, an H2 would have been awesome!
Oh my Gosh!
I was like dumb after seeing this, a Hummer; still can’t believe it.
Did it come across in the contest anyway or just a prank???
