Well, the weather at this time of year should give you plenty of mud around where you are. All you need now is to instigate a fight. :)

Good luck,

Silly games can draw a lot of attention. Facebook is loaded with them. I think it's a great move by Pentax. Really not sure how one can be disappointed in something you don't understand?
 
Got the mail too but deleted it without opening, I'm not interested in W90 nor in 'win this win that' mails.
And certainly not interested in facebook too..

But you already got some funny reactions here :)

Got this email, too.

What a farce! A warning shows that in order to play Pentax wants to:

Access my basic information

Includes name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone.

Post to my Wall

PENTAX Optio W90 Mudfight Challenge may post status messages, notes, photos, and videos to my Wall

Access my photos and videos

FAT CHANCE!

That's standard practice in the Facebook world. Many "applications" that are available on Facebook do this, if not most... Be happy you have the choice not to participate, there's other Facebook features that don't give you that choice...

It's called Viral Marketing BTW...

Today, people are afraid of meeting real people and going to real events, so they rely heavily on social networks like Facebook, but also on forums and other online (...)

Wait, what did I just said here? Forums?

Oh no! :O

So I am one of these people!

Just kidding. ;)

I agree with you, janneman. A mudfight ain't much fun unless there's real mud involved. :D

If you want to shoot a mudfight, just organize a mudfight event.

With Facebook, you could actually reach hundreds of people in your area (or province, country, continent) and invite them to a REAL mudfight. You'll also need a place with mud and the authorization from the land owner... But that can be dealt with quite rapidly and easily.

You'll also need a Facebook account. ;)

You are now disbarred from practicing photography with Pentax. You must now surrender all your gear (Lenses, cameras and lawnmowers) to me immediately, you are now only allowed to shoot with Holga. Further punditry will result in being banished to a Kodak Brownie Box Camera.
