The Videogum Kate Gosselin Halloween Costume Contest

thumbnail icon: The Videogum Kate Gosselin Halloween Costume Contest

Do you know what it is? It is October, that is what it is. And at the end of October is when the Halloween occurs. I'm not showing off, I'm just stating the FACTS. Halloween is October 31st, look it up.

This year, we would like to offer one lucky Videogum reader the perfect (perfect?) Halloween costume: a Kate Gosselin wig. "But Gabe, Kate Gosselin has since changed her hairstyle. This is no longer relevant and I will be the laughingstock of my entire Halloween Party." Oh, relax! For one thing, everyone will KNOW what you are supposed to be (emphasis on the "what"), which is more than half, perhaps three-quarters, of the battle. And in any case, Halloween is stupid.

So, in order to win the prize of a Kate Gosselin Halloween wig (wardrobe not included, but just wear your normal everyday clothes, probably) we are running a special contest To enter: submit your own Kate Gosselin fan fiction. The winning post will be republished as a You Can Make It Up post on Videogum, and the winner will receive their very own Kate Gosselin wig. How exciting!

Entries must be e-mailed to tips@videogum.com (no attachments!) by Monday 10/12 at 6PM EST.

BOoooOOOooo!

Good question. I'm going to assume tips at videogum.com is your best bet, but maybe Gabe will clarify.

All entries should be sent to tips@videogum.com
Let's say you have until Monday 10/12 at 6PM EST to submit. (So official!)
Gabe forgot to include these details because he ate too many cocaine omelets with Dax Shepherd. Hollywood! Don't hate.

I look forward to reading some of these, as I'm sure many of the gummers will straight bring the LOLs. Let's paint, exercise, and get our creative writing juices flowing.

They say that only a fool would step into the fanfiction ring with The American Patriot. Well, with God as my witness, I AM THAT FOOL.

I'm irritated that this trumps my announcement that I will be holding my own Jon Gosselin fan fiction contest. First prize includes all-you-can-wear Ed Hardy t-shirts, a mandatory friendship with Michael Lohan (prizes are not returnable), and a reverse vasectomy (vasectomy will be provided if necessary).

Entries can be submitted to getoffmahlawn@idoitformykids!.com

TLC submissions not accepted. Unless those submissions are cash. Then more pls.

Don't call it a comeback, I've been lurking for years.

(Please, Monsters, don't make this an in-joke off. I know it'd be easy to write "And then Kate Gosselin said 'Keep fucking that chicken, I want that extra life so bad'", but you're better than that. We're all better than that, and we'll have a bubblegum pizza party for everyone, because we're all winners. Except for everyone but the winner of this contest.)

The first paragraph of Gabe's post reads like a Mamet play.

I'm on a Mamet trip because I just watched "Edmond," and, hoo boy, is that a turkey. I submit it for WMOAT.

That is all.

"I have", not "I'm".


My entry is sure to be littered with typos that will render it unreadable.
