The 'logic' thrown around in this thread makes my head hurt. I get the impression that if the station had said '100 in cold, hard cash' and when they got there they could pull the bar wrapped up in 2 $1 bills out of the freezer and it's all cool.
I think the people against her are just sick of lawsuits in general and nothing would be good enough. Either that or people are just plain cruel and like to laugh at another person's misery. It's so obvious that the station was implying that the prize was $100,000. Would they bother running a contest for a candy bar if everyone knew what they actually meant? They could have at least had the decency to tell her right away after she won that it was a fucking candy bar. The fact that they didn't do that shows that not only were they deceptive but downright malicious about it.
I guess I better make that the next time I interview for a job they say x dollars in US currency because you never know when someone might pull a fast one on you.
I love that you guys have no problem grouping the station with the 401 scammers that drain peoples' savings accounts.
