Engadget's recession antidote: win a Klipsch HD Theater 500 sound system!

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got a Klipsch HD Theater 500 5.1 sound system, ready to rattle the floor of one lucky domicile. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!

Huge thanks to Klipsch for providing the gear!


The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) Klipsch HD Theater 500 5.1-channel sound system. Approximate retail value is $599.99.
  
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Thursday, April 9th, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

rather than giving companies bailout money give consumers "vouchers" to the companies that would have been bailed out. that way the stupid company will still get its money (from the Gov issued voucher) and the user gets a product. this way NONE OF THE MONEY IS WASTED.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 9th 2009 4:27PM]

You should seriously give this to me. I could finally be happy, or at least less sad.

Not that I want to win the prize. I think the !O government should buy stock and lift us out of recession.

I heard that a rising stock market creates "wealth effects", which increases consumer spending and creates economical expansion.

Instead of bailing out him and her by favor, while most of us get the big 'O'. I say "just buy the stock!" Consider that more than 50% americans owns stocks.

O!
