    Aside from the despicable abuse that the original winner is getting, there are 2 things about this that really annoy me. Firstly, all those making comments that they were going to use said company in the future to buy something and now reconsidering doing so, smacks to me of trying it on for a discount. Secondly, if companies get this sort of backlash when an error occurs, they will think twice about running competitions in the future, which affects us all. Some people are so short sighted.
