At Caroline’s urging, I watched The Wackness a while back, and loved it. Now, the studio’s spreading the love all the way to Amsterdam:

WIN A TRIP TO AMSTERDAM AND A BAG OF MARIJUANA!
Yes, you heard us correctly! We’re offering the chance for you to win a fabulous weekend break for 2 to the city of smoke itself, the beautiful Amsterdam. But that’s not all… the lucky winner will also be able to pick up a complimentary bag of skunk from legendary Amsterdam café, Hill Street Blues.

Hidden within one of the first 1,000 DVDs of The Wackness is a Golden Ticket. Find the Golden Ticket and you win!* It’s that simple.

And you don’t even have to buy a DVD–just email competitions@revolvergroup.com with the subject line “Golden Ticket”. That… is pretty cool. (HT: Boing Boing)
