So... they're telling everyone to spam the hell out of their friends? I find that kind of irritating, actually.

Well if it get the words out, the reward is definitely worth it.

Beside, they're your friends (what are friends for), I'm sure it's not as irriating as a strangers spaming you to do stuff you don't want to.

With as much Tokyopop crap as I buy, it would save me a lot of money to do try this. However I'm not a big fan of spam myself... >_>

Wow. This seems like a rather spam-crazy contest then. But still, nice prizes.

I hope this one also applies for people outside of the USA as well...

And yeah, that link gives no info about any contest.

I would have no problem referring people to the manga if the manga was actually any good. Sorry, Tokyopop, I ain't falling for this. Do this with a quality title and I'll think about it.
