Saw this ad on SST just now. I might have won an iPod if I wasn't so busy trying to figure out what a "Ganster" is.

seems like they would proof read those things before sending them out.

I disagree thuring. That's the trick. You think gangster so you shoot it and you're sure you won so you enter your info... Of course you never receive your free IPod but they have your email now and can spam you at pleasure... You believe you can sue them for not sending the gift but you can't because they never told you to shoot the gangster but to shoot the GANSTER... very very smart.

Also, the "ganster" looks like a cowboy. Were they called gangsters in those days? I think of Al Capone and the like, when I think of gangtser, not Billy the Kid.

When I type ganster in dictionary.com, it suggests "ganister" instead... It's getting more and more interesting...
