Give Your Dad an HDTV for Father’s Day

My dad is pretty great. I’ll bet most of you would say the same thing about your own dad’s.

When I was little, I gave my dad things for Father’s Day like cards made out of construction paper, glitter, and old buttons. I made him an ashtray (he does not smoke) and a pencil holder out of lumpy, uneven clay one year. He kept them on his desk until he retired and even to this day they sit by his computer at home. Oh, and a rock painted to look like a strawberry. I was particularly proud of that little bit of artwork.

My dad is older now. And, so am I. I’ve moved to more sophisticated Father’s Day gifts. Last year I bought him a massive gift certificate to his favorite local steak restaurant. The year before that, I got him a GPS.

This year, I have a couple of things in mind, but by far the best would be if I could win the Charter Communications Father’s Day contest and give him Father’s Day in HD. My dad has used Charter for years and so I thought this would be perfect. Check out the list of goodies the grand prize winner gets:

• 65″ LCD HDTV Flat Panel 1080p
• FREE Charter HD service for life
• The Charter Bundle for life

There will also be four finalists and they will each get Charter’s Biggest Bundle, FREE for a year. And that bundle I’ve mentioned includes Digital Cable TV, Digital Phone, and High Speed Internet. Very cool.

Your dad needs to live in a Charter serviceable area for you to enter the contest. All you do is enter your e-mail address, your dad’s email address, and then write an answering the question: “Why does your dad deserves the nation’s biggest HDTV?” Hurry, though, you have to enter by June 8.
