The Princess Bride 20th Anniversary Edition

Because BillyBlog listed William Goldman's The Princess Bride as my #19 Favorite Book here, I was contacted by M80 and Fox Home Entertainment to help promote the 20th anniversary of the release of the film based on the book.

Behold:

In conjunction with the 20th anniversary of The Princess Bride , MGM Home Entertainment has launched the “Ode To Princess Bride” Sweepstakes, an online contest that provides an “editor's tool kit” with video, audio and music from the film and allows fans to create their own “Ode to The Princess Bride” video trailer. The contest winners will be selected by Norman Lear and Rob Reiner. One grand prize winner will receive a state-of-the-art Panasonic Home Theater package and The Princess Bride script autographed by Rob Reiner and Norman Lear.

I am normally not so commercial, but this film is a special one, and it's well worth promoting.

Barbara and Shep Bloomfield

I'm sure the Bloomfields will be thrilled to know their grandson's campaign is followed by a post about an inappropriate shirt seen at Chuck E. Cheese. But if you play with the blogosphere, you must get your hands a little dirty.

Good Luck Bradley!
