The Sierra Mist Five

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 14th, 2006

The Sierra Mist Standup or Sit Down Finale will present Steve Byrne, Sarah Colonna, Eddie Ifft, Jen Kober and Jordan Rubin on TBS this Friday night at 10 PM EST as the five finalists. The winner will be awarded $50,000 on Comic Relief, which airs November 18 (Saturday) at 9 PM EST.

But wait, there’s more: After the conclusion of the show, viewers will be able to hop onto MySpace.com and vote for one of the five finalists. According to MySpace.com: “One user that votes during the final round will automatically be entered for a chance to win $1,000.”

We like how MySpace refers to us regular folks as “users.” Those of us who watched enough episodes of Mod Squad can’t help but associate the term with heroin addiction!

And what is with the wording? “One user that votes” will automatically qualify? What exactly does that mean? We interpret this as meaning that one user will qualify and compete against… against whom, exactly? Himself? (Or, to be gender neutral, him or herself?) If there’s only one user, it’s hardly a competition. We suspect that someone from Kazakhstan is writing the copy at MySpace. We figure this: One user, among the thousands that vote, will be chosen as the winner of $1,000. At least we hope that’s what they mean.
