Wow, dumbest online entry system in the history of the internet. Congrats on AC in breaking new ground.
What ad agency comes up with sh*t like this?!!?!?

I thought it was slightly better than last year's- 2010 getting a 1 (gouge my eyes out) and 2011 getting a 2 (makes my ears bleed).
Not to mention my computer isn't so keen on the graphics-intensive videos.

Agree an appalling effort by the "marketing" department...
....irritating long cycle you can choose to shorten it but then no instant prizes)...or endure the fingernails down the blackboard background music.
I just wont bother as my irritation factor far outweighs the very small chance of winning.
What a POS effort.

I completely agree. This is kind of like reverse marketing: I want nothing to do with any of the products marketed here after enduring that.

I actually sat through the whole thing (though my computer was on mute and I was flipping between other web pages while it chugged through all the screens). I find it worse than last year's and will definitely not waste my time going through it again.

I did the entire thing.....it was terrible!
I think it's the same people from 2010 offer, right?
The only reason I kept watching it was someone here posted saying they won the 1 million aeroplan miles from last year.
