Gawker
Forget ESPN, Sports Illustrated, or your office pools. Why not spend March Madness this year with the New York Times [click to enlarge]? There's a possibility of a fancy top prize for you: an iPod. A shiny new iPod, to one lucky fan. Millions will clamor for this bauble! Second prize: a shiny nickel.

If you don't already own an iPod (even a crappy "Shuffle), you don't deserve to be reading NYT online anyway.
In fairness, this was a sacrifice. They had to lay off three people to do it.
"Third prize is ... You're fired!"
So when will the Post/WSJ accuse the Times for promoting gambling by publishing the NCAA brackets?
@TheHonJudgeSmails: I'm feeling badly enough today, thank you very much.
*goes back to fiddling with his Walkman*
i'll take some apple stock.
Get used to it: in today's economy this is high stakes. Once again the NYT leads the curve.
@Sarcastro: Hah!
they forgot the part about how It's an iPod that cost more than most people's salary...at the NYTimes.
Too funny! I actually filled out a bracket yesterday without checking what the prizes are. At least it was easy and cookies had me signed in already.
Will Gawker be having a pool? There are probs some left over tshirts that can be used as prizes.
I just hope it's a Nano!
Please donate my iPod to charity.
