Boycotting was probably not the best word choice on my part, but you did say that it has reduced your likeliness to spend money on Sennheiser or Woo products. I guess I am just wondering why people seem so personally offended by this. It's not like any individual who has entered this contest has a significant chance of winning. I view any giveaway like this as a positive toward a company, even when I am not eligible to participate.
Upon re-reading my earlier post, I can see that it does come off a little aggressive. That was not my intention at all. I am really just wondering why this contest (or any similar promotion) would personally upset anyone, especially to the point of making them less likely to spend money toward the company's products.
No offence taken,
Re' the reason U.S contests make people ( including me ) unhappy - I'd like to point out that the whole idea of a promotion of this nature is predicated on the very fact that there IS a chance, however small that any eligible entrant could win ( see; general success of lottery games for an e.g. ), offering that chance to only one group of any community is going to alienate those deemed ineligible for ANY reason.
That's the way I feel anyway, others will undoubtedly disagree.
