Win a trip to Copenhagen

By Jesse Chambers

If you’re the kind of geek who would enjoy attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December, we have the contest for you. The Huffington Post is planning to send a so-called “citizen journalist” to cover the conference as the “Hopenhagen Ambassador.” 

Look the other way, mermaid. I'm a doctor of journalism.

Look the other way, mermaid. I'm a doctor of journalism.

According to a HuffPost news release, the winner will be flown to Copenhagen from Dec. 12-19 and given lodging, press credentials, media training, HuffPost blogging privileges and a Flip video camera. 

The best part? You don’t have to do any work. Just get off the plane, throw your press badge in the garbage and spend the rest of the time smoking hash and having sex with prostitutes.

OK, I’m kidding. They actually want you to WORK –  attend the conference, blog, post video, concern yourself with “spreading the message of hope.” You know, “hope” that the apparatchiks and political hacks gathered at the conference will really do something about global warming. (Sorry for the outburst. I’m just bitter because Madison Underwood and I can’t afford to go.)

Anyone over 18 can enter — just upload a one-minute video telling why you should be picked. For contest rules, visit www.huffingtonpost.com.

But you better hurry. They will stop taking new entries on November 29 at midnight.

‘The city of perpetual promise.’ Does that mean incessant failure? Or rather, that Birmingham never gives up hope?
