So on Friday we announced our latest and greatest contest giving away some of these earbuds. Check out all of the info here. Anyway, to enter you simply had to mail us with SHURE THING in the subject line to be entered. Some of you crazy folks took the liberty of giving us some entertainment in the body of the message. Pardon me if I missed your personal autobiography, but there are probably a za-jillion of these emails. Check out all of the craziness after the jump.

Note: Nothing was required in the message field, these people did it out of their own boredom. As long as the subject reads SHURE THING you are entered.
From J. Shirley Dear sirs, I hope this email finds you well. I have picked-up the trust and courage to write you this letter with divine confidence that you are a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business transaction believing also that you will let me down either now or in the future.
My name is J, a senior blog reader of GIZMODO ON GAWKER MEDIA in
Nigeria. There is an account opened in this blog in 2005 and since
2005 nobody has won on this contest again. I discovered that if I do
not remit this email out urgently it would be forfeited to the other
readers as dormant account.
I want to transfer this sum of 1 SHURE E3G EARBUDS into a safe foreign
account abroad. I am contacting you based on the fact that you are a
foreigner because this object can only be approved for winning be a
foreigner.
I know that this proposal will come to you as a surprise as we don’t
know ourselves before. However I got your contact from a trade
consultant in South Africa, though I did not disclose the purpose of
my seeking for a foreign business partner to him.
All necessary precautions have been taken to ensure a risk free
situation on the side of both parties.
Expecting your urgent response,
Best Regards,
Yours faithfully,
J

From Ethan: I have to be honest and tell you I’m near-deaf in my left ear, but if you give me these, you could me go all the way…
What the hell? These earbuds will could me go all the way? If I can go all the way I may just keep them for myself.
From Kristin: My ears would make these look good.
Thanks,
Kristian
Please send pictures of said good-looking ears.
