Our GTA IV Xbox 360 Caption Contest Got Hacked
May 21, 2008
We’ve got some bad news. Our poll to decide the funniest caption for the Xbox 360 contest has been hacked. Turns out some of those out there in the Interwebs have attempted to fix the vote by pointing bots at our poll. We appreciate the irony that people out there tried to use shady means to win a Grand Theft Auto-branded prize and the opportunity to use phrases like “pointing bots at our poll.” But we can’t let cheaters walk away with any prize.
Voting clearly isn’t going to work so we have to go despot-style and pick the winning caption ourselves. Since all the possible captions were affected by numerous bots we have to DQ all five caption entries. We’ll leave the contest open for submissions until May 28th and then pick the winner. You can caption the GTA IV screenshot posted after the jump or on the original contest post. We’ll pool all the captions from both posts and make a final selection in one week. You also need to register to be eligible to win.
