It’s 11 p.m. and you have a five-page history paper due first thing tomorrow morning that you haven’t even started. Thoughts of panic and regret flood your mind: Why didn’t I start this earlier? How in the world am I going to turn in an “A-worthy” paper by 9 a.m. tomorrow? It is no secret that every collegietteTM suffers from bouts of procrastination, especially in our technologically savvy society where the Internet provides endless hours of entertainment. And who reigns supreme as King of Internet procrastination? Perez Hilton.
I don’t know about you, but I am a Perez junkie. Give me just a few minutes of free time and you can be sure that I am perusing the site, engrossed in the latest celebrity gossip, viral videos, and red carpet fashion. If you have an obsession with www.perezhilton.com like me, then you’ve probably heard about Perez Hilton’s “Live Famously” contest, sponsored by LEAN POCKETS®. If not, listen up!
The contest offers everyone a chance to “live famously” in the New Year and who wouldn’t want that? The grand prize winner (and a friend) will be given a once-in-a-lifetime experience to live like a celeb in Los Angeles, staying in a luxury hotel and traveling around the city by private car. But wait, there’s more! The lucky winner will also receive a $1,000 reward card to spend on whatever they want, a $250 spa card, and an unforgettable concert experience with Perez Hilton himself.
Besides an amazing grand prize, there’s also a chance to win thousands of awesome, daily prizes, such as retail gift cards to a variety of great clothing brands, department stores, and online shopping sites.
If you want to participate in the sweepstakes (and who wouldn’t?), there are two ways to obtain a code:
1. Visit your local grocery store and purchase a specially marked package of LEAN POCKETS® brand Stuffed Sandwiches with the “Live Famously” logo on it.
2. If you want to enter without making a purchase, obtain a code on the “Live Famously Sweepstakes” tab on the LEAN POCKETS® Facebook Page.
Once you have obtained your code, visit the LEAN POCKETS® Facebook Page to complete and submit the registration form. You will automatically receive one entry into the sweepstakes and advance to the “Instant Win Game” Page where you will receive one instant play for that day. There is a limit of one entry per person/per day.
So about that paper? It can wait for another five minutes while you enter Perez’s “Live Famously” sweepstakes on the LEAN POCKETS® Facebook Page. The possibility of a trip to L.A. should motivate you to keep pushing through your schoolwork. And really, five minutes more of daily procrastination spent entering the contest isn’t going to be the cause of your academic downfall, but heed this warning from an experienced procrastinator: the celebrity blogger’s site might just become a dangerous, secret addiction.
