The PLA Prank Call Contest is officially over and you can now vote on your favorite entry below. Click on the button of your favorite prank call, then click on the “Submit Your Vote” button at the bottom. You’ll be taken to a page of the current voting results. You can also click here to see the current voting results.

Please don’t cheat. I know it can be done and it’s been done before. It’s not that hard or impressive and it will be sort of obvious if you are. So please…don’t cheat. The voting will end whenever I feel like ending it. Maybe in a week or two, I guess? If you’d like to see the current voting results, here they are.

I’m going to give out 3 prize packages for the top 3 winners. It’ll go something like this - the first place winner gets to pick the 10 tapes/CDs he wants, the 2nd place winner gets to pick 10 of the remaining 10 tapes/CDs, and 3rd place gets the rest of the crap that’s left. Everyone who entered will receive a PLA Media DVD and a DVD full of my entire prank call collection. Once again, lots of thanks to everyone who entered the contest!

Before we get into the prank call contest entries, here’s a quick site update…you can now receive emails whenever new content and updates are posted to phonelosers.org. We were using Feedblitz to accomplish this before, but it was slow and they probably sold your email address to Nigerians. The new system emails you immediately after entries are posted and you’re not giving up your email address to a 3rd party company. You can use the form below to sign up. Or you can just keep using the RSS feed like a normal person.

Now on to the contest entries! There have been quite a few entries that don’t follow the rules of this contest. People are sending in just regular prank calls that have nothing to do with the PLA. And one person send in a deaf relay call transcript. Sorry people, but I’m only accepting PLA-themed prank calls for this contest. Here’s are the current entries.

• Tachyon’s 1st Entry: Cactusing a 7-Eleven
  
• Tachyon’s 2nd Entry: Cactusing some other business
  
• z3wb’s 1st Entry: z3wb violates some FCC laws in this homage to our What’s Yer Bid phone mob.
  
• z3wb’s 2nd Entry: And some more of the same.
  Harry’s Entry (part 1, part 2, part 3): Harry’s pranks a hotel and tells the front desk that someone peed in his room.
  
• Sam’s Entry: Sam calls a Wal-Mart and claims to have scammed a computer from them, just like our old modem scam prank on the PLA’s Wal-Mart Page.

That’s it for now. Thanks to everyone who’s submitted calls so far. Keep the PLA-themed calls coming because you still have until January 15th to win some prank call CDs and tapes!

As mentioned in PLA Radio #15, I’m starting up a new contest. The Win RBCP’s Old Prank Call Tapes and CDs Contest! I recently converted my remaining cassette tapes and CDs to mp3s, most of which happened to be prank calls. So now I’m left with several dozen prank call tapes and CDs that I have no use for. So I’m using this contest as a guise for offloading my old crap onto some unsuspecting prank caller who thinks they’re actually winning something cool. I’m a genius!

If you would like to win this excellent collection of prank call history (aka crappy old prank tapes, lots with terrible sound quality) then all you have to do is submit a prank call that you’ve made. Not just any prank call, though. It must be a PLA-themed prank call. Your prank call must include something done in the spirit of the PLA, such as cactusing someone, calling someone from the PLA’s past, reenacting an prank call or an event from our site, or just doing something generally PLA-ey. Get it?

How many of these prank call cassetes/CDs I give out to each winner will depend on how many entries there are and how much effort you put into it. If there’s a lot of entries, I’ll probably let the first place winner have first choice, the second place winner have second choice, etc. If you need some help on how to record your telephone calls, click here for a tutorial. Here’s a semi-complete list of the tapes and CDs you could win:

• The CranKings - Sushi and Friends Act I (copied cassette)
  
• The Teleprankers Volume 1 and 2 (copied cassette)
  
• Frank Da Prank (copied cassette)
  
• Screamers (copied cassette)

• PLA Raw Material - Volumes 1 - 5) (CD-R)
  
• 976-GIRLS (CD-R)
  
• Phone Losers of America Give Me Liberty or Give Me Steak (real CD from mp3.com)

There’s a little more of it, but some of it is commercially available stuff and I probably shouldn’t mention that I’m giving away CD-Rs of their work. There’s some great prank callers in the mix and some crappy ones. But it’s all fun stuff to listen to. The contest officially starts today and it officially ends on January 15th, 2007. You can submit your pranks by email to rbcp AT phonelosers.org or post them in the forums. Get to work!
