Default A finnish mobile "tv contest"

This short commercial is just a small part of finnish-tv programming. When nothing interesting is being showed, there's stuff like which you participate with cellphone.

Note that this is actual commercial. It has been altered slightly so I can translate it into english.

Basically, its a contest where you can win 4000€! All you have to do is to answer on the puzzle on the screen, by sending it via text message.

Whats the puzzle? A word scramble! :

What animal? M _ _ _ _ Y

Djees man, really, get outdoors, there is a whole world out there waiting for you.

TV commercial games .... FTW, can you sink lower than that?

In a not so distant future you'll have a job, house, wife, kids ... you will be tiedup with all kinds of obligations, live your youth, don't trow it away.

dude, we have million of those here. you have only a chance that the picked winner sms is gonna be yours. it's like playng a lotery, just the obvious riddle is given so you can have feeling that you can actually participate. the price is set by how many retards sent the sms last time or usually. i think it's not worth the expensive sms, for nothing
