Oil of Olay is advertising a poetry contest for female writers on the main site.
Simply go to online-literature.com and refresh a couple times till you see the ad. I think it'll be running through August.
There are like 7 $2000 prizes.
Unfortunately it is for female writers only.
Why unfortunately? ;) ;)
Any links? I wanted toknow more about it as it sounds interesting, but I can't find it...
awesome! definitely not a scam right?
Definitely not a scam.
Just look on the main site for one of the big yellow banner ads at the top... you might need to refresh a couple times.
Unfortunately because I'm not a woman.
I was kidding about 'unfortunately'...
But I don't see any ads at the top... :rolleyes:
Why for female writers only?
Oil of olay barty....it's a female fash wash company.. lol
KOA,
It might be targetted for US Citizens only.
I was wondering about that, but I wanted to read the rules or whatever to find out...Quote:

Nevermind :) (They're missing a real talent though...ah ah ah lol :D :D :D )
Yes, I understand "oil of olay" isn't exactly a 'virile' or 'masculine' product - it is also to be found in Dutch shops! - but that doesn't make me get the point: why can't a male poet write about the 'oil of olay'-feeling?
I mean: who feels the effect of "oil of olay" better? A women using it, or her (male) lover? ;)
Oh ya... ads are limited by geographic area all the time -- they use your IP address to figure out which country you are from.Quote:

Wait, I forgot about the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. Scratch that idea.
I just had an amazing revelation....
The Army should make a new rule concerning Gender... if the recruiter doesn't think it is obvious which gender you are, then there should be a don't ask, don't tell rule... and special bathrooms for those of questionable gender.
lol...
Right... I didn't know that but it makes sense.Quote:

oooh... I guess I am the only one who thought the "bathrooms for those of questionable gender" was funny... shot down again... *sigh*
Give it up, Fool . . . we all know you just want to dominate the indexes. ;) Everyone did that yesterday, no one does it anymore.
I could never understand the marketing appeal of rubbing `oil' on one's face, why not just eat some Kenducky Fried? :x :o
Abdo, can you blame me, I am obviously trying to copy you...
well no, i found it funny too :)Quote:
