Midway through the second quarter of Superbowl XLIV, an ad for Dockers announced that if you logged on, you could get a free pair of pants.

As I was sitting at my laptop anyway, I typed in the URL. I expected a wait, and there was. It took me about 10 minutes to get to the site.

First blow- it’s a contest. You enter to win a pair. Well, not that I was too surprised, so OK, I’ll enter.

Second blow- You can enter for free pants, but unless you go and sign up (separately) for other offers, you have to pay for shipping.

For the actual contest, I had to give my name, e-mail address, gender and zip code. And here comes the CAPTIA….

Third blow and FAIL! I entered all info, clicked submit, and….. nothing! I try again, and… It tells me the page is not available, come back later!

So, did Dockers know that the Superbowl is watched by MILLIONS of people? Apparently not. Nor did they realize a lot of us are gonna be near a laptop or internet equipped device!

I hope they are happy with the millions of hits to their domain. I, for one, am not a fan of a triple dupe!
