That sounds like somthing that could cause cosplay related mental scars.Susan Arendt said:
That's only Car Insrurance though, it's hardly impressive. This is a contest involing Peter Jackson! Gender discrimination in somthing like this is what certaion people invented the term "gendercide" for.TheGhostOfSin said:
I dunno about you but I'd rather not pay a small fortune to be able to drive than meet some sweaty old guy with a beard, unless of course after meeting him you became such good friends that he offered to pay your insurance for you...Arrers said:
Doesn't surprise me with IGN. Gamespy is going down the toilet. Once Flintlocke is done most likely their traffic is going to tank. So they come up with something lame to generate traffic. Considering the prize....really really really lame. I wouldn't accept money to see that fat tard.
Of course, if Gamespy hadn't gone lame, I might never have found The Escapist. Score!

Not really a big deal. They aren't legally obligated to offer the contest to everyone. Getting mad about the contest being closed to women is like getting mad that it's closed to Canadians.

Ok, I'm torn at least two ways on this.
On one hand, having a "Male Only" contest is fair but why advertise it as such?
On the second hand, why the hell is it "Male only"?
On the third hand, have you read those restrictions? Basically IGN owns your entire trip and can sue you if you don't do what they want you to do for them and then sign away all your rights.
On the fourth hand, "The 50 States or Washington"?
Seriously, I suspect a viral marketing plan here, this is just too stupid for words.
If I was a real cynic, I'd say that the target group wouldn't be savvy enough to work out how much they are getting owned by IGN, and it's actually a plus point towards girls that they'd figure out the legal shafting they'd be getting from those rules.

Sexist and in violation of human rights I believe, sickening to think it's still going on evidently...
Why is this called a "Contest"? We are not competing in anything... its just a free Raffle at best.
When i read contest i was looking for something i had to do to enter, like write, draw, come up with an idea, or something... but its just sign up and wait...
and the whole no girls thing... kinda lame and stupid. Like there arn't girls who read comics, come on.
