Zack was excited to get the mail today because there was a little remote-control key. Wrapped around it was a big red flyer advertising a sale at some local Ford dealership. Note the big text:

IF YOUR REMOTE UNLOCKS THE 2006 FORD F-150 4×4 CREW CAB AT CHAMPION FORD YOU OWN IT!

So apparently you go to the dealership this weekend and walk around the lot pressing your key, hoping it works. But wait, there’s some small print at the bottom of the flyer:

The winner’s name is registered with the promotion company; if your remote inadvertently unlocks the vehicle, no gift will be awarded.

Nice. You have to love fine print. In other words, if my remote unlocks the truck I might own it…
