    Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

    Our email this week is from someone Chad loves very much. (Hint: Iti's OMGmom.) Here's her email:

    Hi Dick,

    Here’s my first viewer video created without any help from Chad. Camera credit goes to OMGDad for this video. My apologies to Chad for infringing on his Crappy Corner by showing off this gadget of this quality.

    Maybe this gadget would be more helpful with other herbs like rosemary but I wouldn’t bet on it. Not surprising that the GiWuh Vegetable Leaf Remover that I purchased is no longer available on Amazon. But, many other branded versions remain. I don’t understand how this has earned a 4.6 rating. On this version, it does mentions that you can “use it as a knife for cut vegetables, fruit, etc.” I haven’t tried this but I can’t imagine that it would work better than a knife and I would expect that you need to restrict cutting to soft items like avocados or bananas. I think this is headed next to the donation box.

    Your faithful fan, OMGMom, aka Selina Johnson

    Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

     

    We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
    I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
    -
    I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
    -
    My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
    -
    My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
    -
    Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
