Terri Runnels Giving Away a House & $100,000. Really!

No bullshit. You won’t believe the hook!

The gimmick: Write an essay on a pet. Pay $200 bucks to enter. Minimum 5000 entries. Winner gets Terri’s house and $100,000 cash prize.

WTF?

Let me get this straight… Runnels play an accountant type way back in WCW, thus dresses up in business attire and feels like a smarty pants. After years and a battle with gravity that silicone will have a tough time winning, she decides to become a literary critic.

New & Existing Home Sales in the US are at a 17 year low!

Foreclosures are everywhere. Why the fuck would anyone want another home? Is this Terri’s half-ass way out of her mortgage? Perhaps she’ll write off the “market value” of her house, which of course wouldn’t garner anything close to the write off value on the open market. Let’s check an interview quote:

“The idea came about because I was going to sell my home and move out of Gainsville (Fla.), and the housing market absolutely stinks. This is something another person had done that I had heard of and I thought it was a great idea”

Hey, at least she’s honest. More wackiness:

“The people who have said ugly and nasty things are negative people. I sleep well at night knowing that bottom line this contest helps everyone. I can’t help any other family unless I help my own first. You spend $200 and there is a one-in-5,000 chance that you will have a home and $100,000 on top of it. If you spend the $200 and don’t win, worst-case scenario is you have thought about how to make the world a better place and honed your writing skills.”

The catch is Terri needs 5000 submissions or she can alter the winnings. Who monitors the number of entries? I’m very suspect on who the winner will be and how the “$100,000″ will be awarded. As scams go I wouldn’t be shocked if a real estate agent won the contest. The agent gets a house, Terri gets to write off a high market value and I’m sure gets a kickback of $90,000 or so on the winning prize.

I wish I could make shit like this up. Really, I do. If you’ve lost your mind here is the link to the contest http://maketheworldwrite.com/

My advice for Terri? Do what most wrestlers do. Become a B level actress, open some shitty small business in your home town or play a genie in Toronto.
