Project "Motherhood Uncensored is Doing it with T-Mobile All Month Long"

*Edited to add: I'll have last week's winners posted tomorrow sometime. Meanwhile, answer my new question - more prizes for everyone.*

When Scott from Digital Influence Group *Hi Scott* contacted me last month with an email titled "A New Home For Your Readers" I was a bit skeptical. Granted, he wasn't asking me if I wanted a biggger peniss, but I'm always a bit wary about these types of emails.

As it turns out, he was pitching this big gigantic widget that is undoubtedly flashing at you right now in collaboration with T-Mobile. To be honest, I didn't fully understand exactly what the heck it was, but he did read my blog, and was genuinely interested in working with me so I responded.

Basically, I told him that if he's offering a few bags of $20s, then I'd be happy to discuss. And wouldn't you know, he actually emailed me back!

Look, I know the thing is huge, but what made it appealing (other than the cash) was that it incorporated my cute header in the side bar (cool, right?), my blog name in the widget, and I got to ask questions that I really was curious about -- I mean honestly, I really do want to know how you taught your kids your phone number because hell if I can get her to sing anything but the numbers in the correct order from 1-10.

And the best part is that my readers (yes you, even you wayward Googler here to bash me about vaccines! Hi! Welcome! Come win a T-Mobile mug you asshole!) can win prizes every day. Yes, you answer the question in the widget, I pick at random, and some not so hugely great or some pretty cool (depending on the day and what they happen to have to send you) prize will land at your door.

Plus, you can apparently enter to win a new house. Can't complain about that one. Except if you do win it, you must have me over to visit. Unless you are the other creepy wayward Googler who innocently enough (I'm sure) seems to love all kinds of boobs, especially droopers; You sir can feel free to enjoy the house all on your very lonesome.

So combine a smart pitch, a smart social media guy with a great Boston accent, and the need for some extra cash due to no one but BlogHer conference attendees flying this summer (here's hoping my husband has a job through the Fall, people), and you have what I'm calling: Project Motherhood Uncensored is Doing it with T-Mobile All Month Long.

Now go answer and win a fucking blanket already.

When you're in a not good position and have no cash to move out from that point, you will need to take the credit loans. Because it should help you unquestionably. I get sba loan every time I need and feel myself OK because of this.

[Channah @ Get a Grip, Mom!]

I won a tee shirt from this, and I must say, while a free tee is cool, I was a little disappointed - I wanted a shirt that said Motherhood Uncensored! :)

Dammit, I'm doing this giveaway on MomReviews (sorry, shameless pimping out of self), and I didn't swear in my post! What a missed opportunity :) I was blown AWAY by how awesome they made the widget look, too, it totally matches the blog. Yay Digital Influence Group!

[Danielle]

I think it's awesome you have major sponsorship. Way to go!

[Motherhood Uncensored]

How can you refuse a fucking blanket?

It's WAAAAY better than a regular plain old "blanket."

[Christina]

That's a surprisingly nice looking ad! And they still want to work with you after you wrote "fucking blanket", so I'll say I'm impressed.

[Busy Mom]

Now wait, is it the blanket itself that's doing the fucking? 'cause that'd be an awesome party trick.

[Motherhood Uncensored]

Celibate blankets are highly overrated.

[Jamie]

What if I want a celibate blanket?

[Jennifer Suarez]

The ad is actually nice looking. I like it!

I did notice some of the responses got cut off on the ratings page thought. I know there was a limit when I typed in my response, but it seems like the rating page might have cut it back a little more? Anyone else notice that?

[Asianmommy]

Very cool!

[Karly]

I think it's awesome! I totally would have signed up. I've been asking my readers questions all week, but the poor bastards have no chance of winning anything from it. ;)

[Motherhood Uncensored]

Ugh. I'm so sorry (or should I say sore-ry) Canadians. :(

And JENNSTER. I can't wait to see you, you crazy bitch.

[Lotta]

Oh I like this thing. Though I do think you should have had "Come win a T-Mobile mug you asshole" in the title bar your widget.

[Heather]

Cool.

[Wendy]

Funny Pam in the contest got Jenny's # wrong. It's 867-5309. For me it was best to do it all at once. Like 5555555555 as opposed to 555-555-5555. Noah always got them out of order til I started making him do it together.

[danielle-lee]

I totally hope the creepy boobie-lover gets a T-Mobile mug...to the CROTCH!

[David Wescott]

OK, so, I'm jealous.

[Mom101]

It looks so pretty! And they let you say "asshole" right next to the ad.

Ah, my dream client.

[In the Trenches of Mommyhood]

I'm just jealous that the salesguy was from Boston and he didn't ask me!

[ktjrdn]

Cool. My day care has the last 4 numbers of our phone be the code to open the door. Ally always wants to punch it in, so it was pretty easy to teach her the rest of the number. Plus, as I comented, she likes playing with her toy cell phone, so she knows a couple of numbers now.

[ster]

that is pretty fucking bad ass! honestly, i LOVE the way the ad looks! very clever!!!!!

girl, i cannot wait to see you in like 1.5 weeks! are you ready for the ster?

[Procrastamom]

I feel so left out of these contests, eh.

[jamie]

Little known fact: you can pay a little extra for PREMIUM phone numbers. Mine ends in 1800.

It was very easy to memorize, but I get lots of calls for Office Depot.

[Miss Britt]

A PR person that lets you cuss and swear in the post promoting them? AND a Boston accent??

How could you say no?

[Multi-Tasking Mommy]

Sometimes I really wish that I lived in the States!

[SciFi Dad]

Sadly, like everything else in life, it is only available to Americans.

Sigh.
