In the Parent's section at www.lego.com, there's a sweepstakes running from
now until the end of April.

The sweepstakes is only open to US residents.

The price of entry is filling out a basic market-research, revealing your
name, your kids' information, basic LEGO ownership and buying habits (very
basic--any of us have 10x the activity they're asking for), and income
range.  And there are checkboxes to give LEGO the right to contact you.
Unfortunately, there's no checkbox *requiring* LEGO to contact you.

The grand prize is $2,000 worth of LEGO toys.  There are also 50 second
prizes, each one is a $50 gift certificate for S@H.

"Lego for life" Hmph.  That's not even Lego for a year!

Poorly designed form, too.  They seem to have a really low expectation of how
much Lego people own.  Also, with no room for comments, they're putting
blinders on their marketing division.  "No, we don't want answers to questions
we didn't think to ask."

Oh well.  I entered it anyway, despite being from Canada, on the off chance
that it might get me e-mail from "Susan Williams"  :/
