Why I should win a MacBook Pro
Anyone who has been following me will know that I get easily wrapped up in competitions that involve winning a MacBook. First came #moonfruit and this week it’s all about #mpora. I love these viral promotions but they have the unfortunate side effect of causing my feed to be flooded with cheesy rubbish. That said, I really do thing that I should win a MacBook for my efforts. Check out the “quality” content I’ve been churning out to increase my chances.
The basic promo tweet:
Win a MacBook Pro with @mpora http://bit.ly/svZNM #mpora

A bit of word analysis
If you take away the letters #mpora from “MacBook Pro” you get #cbokro. Best anagram of that I can think of is “Bo Rock”.

Good timing – only a few minutes to go to today’s draw, maybe they are reading?
I’m really hoping they give you the MacBook, you definitely deserve it (plus if you win today it gives me a better chance for the rest of the week)
Damn, none of us today. Always tomorrow.
I’ve decided if I win one you’re all invited to come round and admire it…no touching though!
Stephen, hats off to you sir.
I have a macbook. But I dropped it
And now its broken and I’m sad.
