Last Friday, I held a contest to give away a CoolIT Chiller USB drink cooler. It was the most successful contest yet. Over 250 comments were made to the contest post. When you consider that my testing of the Chiller showed it doesn’t keep your drink cold, the number of entries is pretty funny. I guess a lot of people want useless stuff.
Today I drew the winner of the Chiller and I just couldn’t believe it. I almost ripped it up and drew another name but that would be dishonest. So, in an ironic twist of fate, the winner of the CoolIT Chiller is John Cow.
I’m sure Mr. Cow will be mooing and hi-hoofing all the other cows in the barn for winning the cooler. Look for another useless contest soon. Well, the next item won’t be as useless.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Congrats to John Cow. That will be a nice cool glass of milk…
I was just about to say, it’ll be good for keeping the milk cold during these hot summer months…. that is, if it actually worked the way it’s supposed to work.
once again, i’m not winning anything
well, thinking about the other 240 something make me feel a little bit better
congrats, john cow
You can still feel like a winner! Think positive keep posting your motivational videos.
thanks for the kind words, lewis
i’m glad that you’ve enjoyed avideoaday.com
Actually you both have good websites, great job.
Thanks Real Estate Editorial! I saw your John Chow review. Are you getting the linkback in a batch? I posted mine about a week ago and I think I’m in 93 or something…
I know what ya mean, I haven’t won anything yet! If everybody else could just do me a favor and stop entering John’s contests, I’d really appreciate it
Everytime i drink milk i throw up. I havent drank milk in probably 10 years. Its only when i drink a glass of milk though. As long as i dont taste it im fine. Weird.
I’m lactose intolerant so I stay away from the stuff as much as possible. Soy milk has been really good to me though; I could always depend on it for cereals and such.
Congratulations!

it’s not nice that you do it so obviously, oneman
No kidding. That’s a pretty blatant plug for your site. Lewis Empire tries not to be evil like that. Visit Lewis Empire and let me know other ways to promote a great blog. (Did I over-do it?)
I thought yours was tasteful and reserved LOL.
Yeah, let’s try and be a little less blatant in the future!
Its funny how your text link for John Cow is linking to your domain http://www.johnchow.com
? Is that intentional so that maybe, just maybe you’ll rank #1 for “John Cow”, as its quite obvious you are not ranking #1 for “John Chow”….?
i don’t know what you mean, it’s linked to johncow.com
Moo-tastic!
Wow! What are the udds?
i think it’s one way for john to say “thank you” for johncow.com to spread the john chow evil words around
Exactly. Man of the hour, controversial mirrored blog, unbelievable earnings, winning the JC contest — what are the odds of that happening?!
hey congrats! that’s pretty funny
I’m glad the cow won. Milk should be kept cold.
Michael
john cow is good for milk, best when it’s cold
well at least we know the contest isn’t fixed.
congrats Mr.Cow
Unless John Chow is really Kumiko, BobMeetsWorld, AND John Cow
If he wanted to win it himself, then why would he throw the contest!!
to keep readers happy? But, I don’t think hes that evil
Maybe to make it look like a legit contest. I could give away a new house if I knew I was going to win it!
To get people to stop by his blog? Yeah, but that would be too evil even for John.
Nice, Congrats!
“Look for another useless contest soon. Well, the next item won’t be as useless.”
Then it wouldn’t really be a useless contest!
joder, eso parece trampa
Out of all people.
I’m surprised John didn’t go evil on that cow.
this was rigg!
Yeah John, any video of the prize draw that you can post?
It could’ve been rigged, but I’d rather Cow take home the useless price than win some other awesome price next time.
I kinda thought John Cow was a spoof on your name.
apparently it is
I remember someone saying they thought it was a typo.
lol @ John Cow winning, thats awesome
congrats bobby
We’ve made the cooler even cooler and are giving it away again! It’s a regular collectors item now with Mr. Chow’s autograph on it!
If you are re-gifting it, then what’s keep the milk cool and fresh?
So that’s how it’s going to work every time you win a JC contest, is it? LOL good thinking, I must say. Talk about milking the Chow…
Well done Mr Cow, sit back relax, chew the cud and sip a cool milk. You deserve it.
John, You are Evil King!
it’s a shame that i missed the opp
maybe next time
John Cow is probably more happy about all the traffic he will be receiving because of this post
I bet he doesn’t blog to receive cold milk!
I don’t need that.. thing anyway. Congrats to the winner. MR-Cow (close to my nick MR-Gee)
Boo! Hiss! We were robbed!
I want a recount!
LOL he can have the defective prize — gives us losers a better chance to snag the next one.
That’s awesome. At first I thought it said John Chow and I was like… you won your own contest?!
That would’ve been very evil though, you have to admit — winning your own contest. What are the chances of THAT ever happening??!
talk bout ironic
Congrats John Cow, enjoy the cold milk!
You are John Cow :p
Very interesting. “John Cow” wins the ever-popular “broken” drink cooler. Am I the only one who sees the “coincidence”? john cow – john cHow? Do I smell something fisy here? Perhaps “John Cow” is actually John Chow. Yes, its shocking, but think about it. John Chow creates “John Cow”, in an effort to crowd the making money blog market even more, capture the copycat traffic, and to simply get more traffic. Evil… Very evil indeed.
too many advertisements on this site and not enough useful info. everything is cluttered with ads and links to give cash to this website (buy me a beer?)! more info, less ads please.
Since I didn’t win it here, I’m going to try http://www.johncow.com
I’ve used a USB drink cooler and it worked out surprisingly well for me. A glass bottle of coke stayed cold for the entire time I was at the computer (four hours).
Either way, let me know if you’re going to give another one away because I broke mine moving!
You can always go to John Cow dot com and win it over there. He’s giving it away again you know.
Good luck!
I actually heard some guys at work today talking about buying one of these. I think i’ll save my money and use that thing called a fridge
I am sure John Cow happy that he can now drink cool glass of milk while sitting at the computer and making jokes about you
What a super IRONIC twist of fate! What are the odds man! Wow!!
Hey John, your long lost cousin shouldn’t be allowed in this contest, he’s considered family, ain’t he?
ha ha ha!
I think the odds were 1 in 250!
Hmmm — I could definitely see the resemblance LOL.
that’s John Cow always up to no good…I bet next he’ll be raffling off some knock off USB cooler…
He’s actually going to give the actual prize away in a contest of his — how very evil, no?
Congrats! John Cow!
Hey, it may be useless, but it is free, and is somehow more appealing. Don’t ask me why.
Congrats Mr.Cow
John Cow..? Now, that’s hilarious!
That is funny…
I wonder what other useless (yet precious) prizes John Chow has to give away next…
I demand a reCOWnt.
Sorry couldn’t resist – Scott
You should not let John Cow to even comment here.
WHAT???
john cow is eligible for this contest too? hahaha
congrats anyway…he did a good job …copying
lol Congratz John Cow
