It's with great pleasure that I announce our first contest to merge the world of punk rock and comic books. Punknews.org is giving away 5 prize packs to celebrate the release of Mass Destruction [review] the new compilation from BANKSHOT! Records. Each winner will receive a copy of the CD and a copy of the Channel Zero: Jennie One trade paperback, signed by artist Becky Cloonan and writer Brian Wood. It's a comic that touches on subjects of police brutality, culture jamming and of course a healthy dose of punk rock. All from your friends at BANKSHOT! Records and AIT/Planet Lar.
Here's some info from BANKSHOT! on what you have to do to win: "So here's the scoop. After some holiday festivities last week, Mr. BANKSHOT! broke one of his best friend's fingers. It was an accident, we swear. In the spirit of the holiday season let us know your most embarrassing holiday fuck up ever. Did you accidentally dump a bowl of hot stuffing in your grandma's lap? Did you get bombed and then throw up all over the tree on Christmas eve? Did you knock over the menorah and burn your house down? The top five most embarrassing stories/lies will win, and we'll share them on Punknews.org so everyone can laugh at you… I mean so we can share your pain."
Email your entry to JennieOne@Punknews.org along with your story and your mailing address. Please include "OPT OUT" in the subject line if you want to opt out of the BANKSHOT! mailing list. We've already disqualified any emo sob-stories as winners, so don't try to gain our sympathy that way.
