Just get some friends to add some comments. Or, alternatively, have some readers.

Good luck with the draw, as you now have the 25+ comments . How did you get sooo many comments with such a small blog post? Would you be able to help me out with some lovely comment-y goodness?

Well actually, Cristiano – you’ve got 29 comments now, not 25 – does that disqualify you?

Now I’m wondering how many commenters above are truly helping out and how many here are just secretly running off to write their own blog posts (like I am ).

Good luck!

PS: by the way I subscribe with the point of view of Alcides: SPAM is the key!

Well, I would have written a (controversial) blog post about religion. Then just sit back and watch the comment wars blaze.

I’ll vote for you Christiano, and now have visions of you dressed as a emo floating down a river of Apple gadgets before being carried away by persons of frumpy and dumpy proportions and strange colour distortions. quick with the funky chicken dance adorned with mighty ballon pants singing “fowa, fowa, fowary doh, have I got a design lesson for you .”

Why don’t you just disable SPAM filtering? You’d get the 25 comments in no time!

It would have been a lot more interesting if the blog post must not mention or link to the rules of the contest, and have Carsonified or one of their events as the main topic, and must not ask for readers to report on something or post comments. Then your mission is essentially: Write a troll of sufficient skill to garner 25 comments or more.

Now that would have been an interesting contest.

As this boils down to yet another ‘how many friends can you convince to waste time on your behalf’ internet contest, you can just sign up for amazon’s mechanical turk and get ~1000 comments in here for about a 100 dollars. Bo-ring.

Wait, did I just waste a bunch of time on your behalf? D’oh!
