So my lovely finance Stacia went a bridal show here in NYC a couple weeks ago. I missed out on all the “fun”, but apparently Stacia is the luckiest person on the face of the earth. She seems to have “won” virtually every drawing she put her name into… from free waxing to vacation getaways, she has probably been getting a call every other day from someone telling her that she won a contest. Amazingly, our friend Mandy who went with her also seems to have won all the same contests. Funny how that works.

Anyways, today’s call came from 21st Century Today’s Bride. They told Stacia that she won 2 nights and 3 days at a hotel from a choice of hotels, a $500 gift certificate, and the ability to purchase goods from their website for “up to 50% off”. All we had to do was go to a presentation at a hotel out by Laguardia airport about some cutlery. What a bargain right!

Well, of course 2 seconds of looking around the internet came up with this post from Ryan Cragun’s Blog describing how this is in fact a scam. I guess that the hotel stay is actually a timeshare thing (even though the lady on the phone assured us it was not), the $500 is for a scam site where everything is super overpriced, with shipping costing just as much as the items, and the cutlery that we can buy from them is overpriced and of poor quality. This is all according to the comments from Ryan’s post.

So thanks internet & Ryan for saving Stacia and I an afternoon out by the airport!

In honor of Ryan here is one of my favorite clips from Mr. Show:
