Tim Horton's AntiVirus
There's a guy in Quebec who's trying to get the Tim Horton's Roll-Up-The-Rim prize on a cup he threw out in a school. They're going to use DNA TESTING TO DETERMINE THE OWNER! So not only are the two families of the little kids fighting over the prize, but some un-named jerk is jumping onto the pile claiming it's his.
Seriously, if you want the prize, check it BEFORE you throw it out. Not AFTER it's been found and claimed. There are no gimmies, do-overs, mulligans, or dry-runs in life. This is a life lesson: don't throw out Tim Horton's cups. Horde them! Guard them jealously for all of eternity. Keep every one you ever touch! Or, at the very least, throw it in your own trash. That way until it hits the curb it technically still is yours.
And how come no one goes to court over the free donuts? They're better than a RAV4 and result in fewer taxes. And at the very least (again) you can lick the donut and call dibs.
I'm done.

Hey Mike,
Isn't being "generally disappointed with a malfunctioning pop-culturally obsessed society" the ultimate pop-culture thing to do now?
Can we do this?
Those who come up to claim the prize, get shot. Executed.
Then the government gets the prize and use it as it sees fit.
It works in querlling dissent.
I am sure the kids won't miss their fighting mommies.
ok, that was mean. But really, if you can't see past a RAV 4, maybe you don't deserve any more than that in life.
That I'll be most sad about out of this incident.
I know you are all dying to know the outcome of this debacle, and clearly I wanted to know the outcome (since I obviously have a LOT of spare time on my hands).
CBC Article: Finders, keepers...
The kiddo that found the cup was awarded the prize (and rightfully so).
If I were at the "Keyboard of Life", and I came across the guy who wanted the DNA test on the cup, there would be only one key I would need: "Delete".
