Announcing Death Note Contest Winners

Thanks everyone for entering the free movie ticket contest for Death Note! I've picked two winners based on how much I laughed—not freaked out—when I read about how you would use the killer notebook if it fell in your hands.

If the Death Note fell into my hands, I would use it to plot world domination, starting by assassinating of the Prime Minister of Malaysia in which all proceeds and child labor workers will be donated to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good. Yay for charity!

 

Or I would give it to Viz Pictures in exchange for a housekeeper.

Keep reading for the other winning entry...

After I touched it and my new best friend reaper explains the notebook to me, I would probably use it a couple times to see what would happen... 

 

It would be hard to believe a reaper at his word so you have to test it out, but I wouldn't use it to the extent that Light does (wouldn't want a candy snarfing kid to figure out my patterns...) and would use it on 2 people at first.  First one would be the guy who killed a girlfriend back when I was in college and who got out of any sentencing due to an error in the investigation.  The second person would be someone that is looking for euthanasia due to a medical condition that can't be fixed and causes severe pain.  After a friend went through that for almost 8 months, I can't imagine forcing someone to live in severe pain while they wait to die from an incurable disease. 

 

After that I would wait and think.  I definitely wouldn't go for the reaper's eyes, but would stock up on apples (assuming my reaper also likes 'em) while I waited. 

 

It would be tempting to try and profit from it.  For example, you could bet on the severe underdog in a boxing match, take out a loan, lump it with your life savings, and bet on the guy that you know would win, but that seems a bit harsh to have the loser die from a knockout/broken neck... unless there are some evil boxers out there. I still need to think this out, but I really would like to quit this job :)

I'm all about helping people quit a shitty job! Your tix will be sent out today so you should get them before screening day.
