I figured 'Why not?' I write for schwag all the time for Amazon.
Then I see it doesn't matter what I or anyone writes, the winners are selected at random. So I scrolled through some of the comments...ee-gads, some folks literally wrote 'comment'.
Given the opportunity to write as little as possible to earn the maximum reward (a Joby Gorillapod), would I be willing to lower my personal standards as a writer?
Of course not.
The contest organizers suggest that it might be 'sweet' if we actually leave a comment about fixing the flopping economy. I figured I'd tap into some of my master's level Sociologist training to answer that call:
Advert to save global economy:
One copy, Communist Manifesto. Slightly used, misunderstood book and philosophy with potential for a second wind in light of failing capitalist ideals. Please contact via carrier pigeon.
Sure it's kind of silly, but it might count as super flash fiction.
Peace
A Pink American
