I would get myself a cheap scooter with that. Or maybe a used car. Pay off some bills...of course those who really could use the extra money never get it easy. Yea for the harder path taken.

Found it via reddit, but it wasn't in the WTF section like I was expecting.
This is stupid, though. Winning $50,000 just for texting?

Shouldn't you kids know by now that if you're the best, or sometimes just extremely good at just about anything nationally recognized, you can get payed rather large sums of money just by demonstrating your skills to the right people?

Anyway, I'm not exactly surprised that this contest exists, and I'm almost certain that this was more for publicity than anything.

I'm not going on Feary Factor and eating liquified rats to degrade myself on TV for cash. :\

Plenty others will, though.

Nevermind...found one.

Microsoft offering AUS $10,000 to use only IE8.

Makes me wonder if IETab could prove a work-around.

It depends on how desperate you are for money, too.
