Roto-Rooter Pimped Out John Sweepstakes

Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 by MegaZone

I just can’t make this kind of thing up. Roto-Rooter is holding an online sweepstakes to give away a ‘Pimped Out John”. Here is their press release. It includes:
Philipsâ„¢ 20-inch LCD TV and Star Wars DVD
Xboxâ„¢ 360 gaming system
Philipsâ„¢ DVD player
Gateway® EMachine™ laptop computer with fully articulated robot arm
iPodâ„¢ with stereo docking station equipped with toilet paper dispenser
Roto-Rooter “emergency” button
Tivoâ„¢ recorder
Avantiâ„¢ refrigerator with beer tap, stocked with drinks and snacks
Magazine rack and subscriptions to Sports Illustrated, ESPN and GQ
Bike pedal exerciser
Cup warmer / cooler

Note the TiVo, which is why I’m posting this here. It is an 80-hour Series2DT, not bad.

OK, so this is a very silly press stunt, but the gear they’re giving away is pretty nice.
