Predict Britney Spears' death ... then win a PS3!

Gothic Girl | January 10, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
The aptly named whenisbritneygoingtodie.com is giving away a free Playstation 3 as the prize of a rather odd competition: Predict Britney Spear's death. Yes, you heard correctly. If you can predict the exact date and time of Britney Spear's death, you will win a free Playsation 3.
Today's media scum don't write for newspapers, or magazines, or tabloids, they don't even write for blogs or websites, no they just create one-off, single page tablogs that feature a prominent Digg button and morbidly titillating content.

Take for instance this site: When Is Britney going to Die? Sure, they don't know how to use capitalisation in a headline, and their design is essentially a picture, a graph and a form, but hey, they're giving away a Playstation 3 if you can predict the exact time of Britney Spears' death, down to the minute. Classy.

    You have GOT to be kidding me...So the closest person to it will win, or you have to be precise? Australia only? It's better for them, because I heard how expensive the PS3 is there.

    OK. Let's see. I predict that she will die exactly the moment after she lets out her last breath!!! YAY! Now, where's my PS3? Oh, well. I'm not in Australia.

    It's obvious that no one will ever get it right, unless someone guesses every minute of ever hour of every day for the next 30 years.

    hah i thought it was pretty smart.

    When britney dies the ps3 will be dirt cheap and most likely people who signed up will have forgotten or not care anymore.

    This is simply a sad, sad thing. Britney is mentally unstable, and the last thing she needs is the entire world down her back, the best thing for her and the media to do is to lay the hell off...who cares anymore, honestly?

    Lol, leave Brittany be, she gets treated like crap, she is already under enough stress, even though she is a bit of a crank, waits for someone off neoseeker to predict the date, then find out there the killer..

    In all probability, she'll die once the PS3 is well obsolete.

    Haha, kind of funny, kind of dumb, but more of the latter. Unfortunately, unless there is a freak accident, she probably won't be dying for a while, leaving the contest open for the same amount of time.
