PRODUCT REVIEW: Glenn West's FORGERY.

CONTEST: The FORGERY contest.

One lucky winner will receive a copy of FORGERY. How? By examining the forgery Chris made (the previously mentioned Dual Hype image). We want you to name all of the Hype of the Week items that you spot in the picture. Whoever gets the most right... wins.

RULES:

-Entries must be sent to gmgpodcast@gmail.com and must include the words FORGERY CONTEST plus the NUMBER OF ITEMS YOU IDENTIFIED in the Subject line. For example, if you identified five Hype winners, the subject of your e-mail would be "FORGERY CONTEST 5."

-In the body of the e-mail, you must correctly list the Hype items. Please don't make wild guesses. If you get one wrong, your entry will be disqualified.

-In the event of a tie, or no winners, a winner will be chosen at random via Super Force Glass. (HINT: Super Force Glass was NEVER on Hype of the Week.)

-One entry per person. No cheating. No entering a million times with multiple addresses. We're watching you.

-Entries must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern time on Tuesday, January 15, 2008.

Good luck to all, and thanks to Phil Cox and the gang over at Kind of Magic.
