Please Vote for my Ugly Fridge
It’s in the 15th row, and right now I’m in about 5th place. You can vote as often as Saskpower allows you to.

If I end the week with the most votes, I will have a 1 in 16 chance of winning a newer fridge. I’m hoping to harness the power of the Internets, because it is like a bunch of tubes where people can vote for my fridge. It’s not like a truck that delivers fridges, but more like tubes. My office sent a fridge yesterday, and the Internets was so backed up, that I just got it today!*
I’ve written about this Saskpower contest before. I plan on making a documentary about my ugly fridge, and featuring it on YouTube before the week is through. Tell your environmentally aware friends about my horribly old and ugly fridge. If I win, I will hold a new-fridge naming contest on my blog.

Done. Although I must say, you’re getting a smaller fridge if you win.

True, but I can sell it to help offset the cost of a new larger one too. Thanks for the support.
Also, if I put it beside the old fridge, Cold Yeller, it might become embarrased and start performing better to ward off replacement. Appliances are competitive like that.
And I’m still entered in the draw to win the big fridge, which of course is my ultimate goal. ;-)

I voted for you. I was going to enter with my grandparents old Leonard from the 50’s but Saskpower wants to take away the old fridge. So instead of entering I put my vote in with your fridge. Good luck.

I just bumped your vote total to THIRTY!! Whooo!! 30!!!
Anyway, I’ll keep voting as much as they’ll let me.

Thanks everyone for the support. And be sure to bug your friends too, there’s nothing anyone loves more than unsolicited emails asking them to do something and forward the message on ;-)
I’m going to start working on the promotional campaign video any moment now after I cool down from my bikeride home.

I just checked and there’s another fridge with 81 votes!! And you only have 33. And there was another one with 34 votes. So, we need to get cracking if you want to win by the end of the week. Go leave comments on EVERYONE’s blog so that they know.

I’m not worried yet. They clearly spammed their friends or workplace but have exhausted their voting potential - they’ve been stuck at that score for days thinking they have a lock on the win. I beleive I’ve only yet to begin to tap the power of the internets, which is in fact like a great many tubes with voters on the end of each tube. And my YouTube campaign is getting underway as I type this.

[...] You may remember the video I made to get Cold Yeller replaced. Some fellow bloggers even made an effort to oust Cold Yeller. [...]
