Hands on a Hard Body Contest

I don't know if anyone is familiar with this contest...but basically, a bunch of people are chosen out of a raffle to be in the competition. Everyone comes to the auto dealership and puts their hand on the vehicle for grabs. The last person standing wins. People quit over a few weeks time, and the last person wins.

So anyway, this will be on national news shortly I am sure, probably tomorrow. Here in Longview Texas where I go to school they have this contest at the Nissan dealership. This was the 3rd day...this morning at 6 am one guy takes his hand of the car, walks across the street to K-Mart, breaks in and steals a shotgun. He loads it, and by the time he is walking out the cops are there and he turns the gun on himself and blows his head off. Insane. We all went there the kick off night to check it out. Now someone is dead....over a friggin Nissan.

What the hell? Geez, that poor guy and his family, he must have been having a pretty hard time with life. I don't think I could ever throw the towel in like that.
