Is Wednesday the only day the submission for the contest is allowed? If not here is my second attempt!! 
Kinda funny how when these contests roll around, so many people--all of a sudden:
1. Live in poverty
2. Have a dying child--(By far, one of the most shameful things to fake, that I could think of.)
3. Had their current device "give out"--minutes after the contest was announced.
4. Work seven (steve) jobs
5. Are being deployed to Afghanistan
6. Insert your own lies here.
Now, there are exceptions to this. This isn't directed at those with real dilemmas. I know?for a fact that some here do. That's why it's so shameful that people try to gain leverage with these tactics...because it's so disrespectful to people actually going through those struggles. You're diluting and minimizing the entries of the truly disadvantaged on here.
My life--it's fine at the moment, and although I'd obviously love to win another tablet, I won't act as if I have some charitable purpose for it, when I know that I have everything I need and more.
Take a second to pat yourself on the back if you didn't lie to enter this contest. If you want to see examples of these tactics in gigantic numbers, check out the iPhone 5 contest on iMore. It's pretty nauseating.
If someone here has a true need for this, I sincerely hope that they win. Just have fun everyone! That's what this is supposed to be about, right? Don't manipulate people's good intentions.

The only thing better than winning a Nexus 7 is winning a Nexus 7 here from Android Central so I can get more of those AC stickers! This is my post for week 2's draw, since no new instructions were posted.
