After laughing, crying and just feeling sorry for some folks, TLAraw.com and TLAvideo.com are thrilled to announce the winners of the TLA Gives It Away Contest! No longer will these winners be down on their luck or see their bank accounts suffering, because they have earned the right to splurge.

Concerned that their loyal customers and devoted fans were suffering from a gloomy economy, TLAvideo.com and TLAraw.com, America’s premier websites dedicated to the sexy side of gay, lesbian, bisexual and straight adult cinema, partnered together to offer a economic stimulus package of their own.

After submitting a paragraph of 300 words or less about how the cash would be spent, 12 winners were chosen from a pool of thousands of needy souls. Here are excerpts from the top 3 winners who TLA will be bailing out of financial misfortune.

Grand Prize – $1,000

“I think I’d probably not spend it for a while—instead; I’d convert it into quarters and Sacajawea dollars, fill a kiddie pool, then swim around like Scrooge McDuck.”

– Jeramy, Hulbert, OK

Two 1st Place Prizes – $500

“Let’s see… I’ll try to remember some things that I often fantasize I might do if I had all those $20s and $10s just bulging in my tight sweaty fists. One for sure is I’d get some of that high-tech flea killer for my cat, Paco.”

– Chris, San Diego, CA

“I’d get a beaten-up car….I’d take that car and I’d start driving. I’d drive as much as I could, copping gas money however I can figure out. And I’d write. I’d chronicle my journeys, especially the everyday Americans I meet.”

– Matthew, Columbus, OH
