What's the world coming to?? Well, same shit it always was, I suppose....

Should he get the car? I don't think so - no reasonably intelligent person with an ounce of sanity would believe that was what the competition was stating. It's not like he didn't realise there wasn't a limit and the thought never occured to him - he went "Whoa, they've forgotten to put a limit on, I'm going to exploit this stupid technicality to the extremes of stupidity." Those were probably his exact words.

Are we going to be caught on every single technicality possible? Are people so braindead, so used to society looking after them that they can't put two and two together and get a number less than five but greater then three?
Do we need to be TOLD everything, even if it would otherwise be pretty obvious? Wake up!

Oh, I know, I know.... it's everybody's personal right to expect companies to dumb everything down for them, you're right. And, yes, everybody has a right to exploit the slightest weakness if it works to our advantage. Because let's face it, we're so selfish that if someone jokingly offers to give us a car for free we'd expect it to be delivered on Thursday, complete with leather seats and a personalised number plate.

So, if you can't guess, no I don't think he should get the car. Yes, it was very funny, and everyone thinks it was a magnificent waste of his money, but at the end of the day a joke is a joke - and no joke is funny enough to deserve a free car.
Well, maybe some of Eddie Murphy's jokes come close. A bicycle, perhaps. With an ajustable seat and a musical bell. But not front suspension.

Ok, the rant's over folks! Bottom line - Nup!
