UPDATE: Congrats to our winners, YvesPaul and Kenny! They were randomly chosen from all the haiku entries submitted. Missed your chance? Enter the next giveaway, when, uhm, we have one again.
We’ve blogged about the LOLcats guys a couple of times — since their humble beginning as a way for an Asian American couple in Hawaii to send funny photographs of cats and walruses with captions about cheezburgers and buckits, it has since become a media empire, spawning a book deal and a couple of other additional humor sites. And guess what? Those sites have book deals too. And guess who has a couple of those books to give away to you, the 8Asians reader? That’s right, us. Freeh bukkz, we haz em.
We have two sets of books to give away this week — each set will contain the following books: How to Take Over Teh Wurld: A LOLcat Guide 2 Winning, as well Graph Out Loud: Music. Movies. Graphs. Awesome and Fail Nation: A Visual Romp Through the World of Epic Fails, the new book counterparts of GraphJam and FailBlog, respectively. All you have to do is submit a haiku that uses the phrase “lol” or “FAIL” in the comments section — we’ll pick two haikus and send the books over.
Hurry, the deadline to enter is: Monday, October 19th 2009 at 11:59 pm PST. TWO lucky winners will be selected and contacted on Tuesday morning.
Rules for entering:
1) Please be in the US or Canada. Sorry, we will not be shipping anywhere else.
2) Regular contributors to 8Asians and their immediate family members are not eligible to win. Who is deemed a “regular contribution” will be at the sole discretion of the Editors of 8Asians.Prize courtesy of: The Cheezburger Network.
