Sarah Silverman Program Season 2 - DVD Giveaway!

Do you like to laugh? Yeah, me too! Who better to make you laugh than the woman who let us all know that she was "F^%&ing Matt Damon"?!

Comedy Central is releasing The Sarah Silverman Program - Season 2 on DVD this week and we have a copy for some lucky reader of TheTwoCents!

I've seen the DVD and with the episodes that include a Dungeons and Dragons game that's been going for 20 years, Sarah switching races, dating God and going to Mexico - you can't help but laugh.

Season 1 was a hit and Season 2 will tickle your funny bone yet again.

So, do you want the DVD? It's simple - you just need to email us at Silverman@TheTwoCents.com and describe (in 500 words or less) which person from history or from fiction that YOU would want to date and why!

The staff of TheTwoCents will review the best submissions and will post our favorite three for the readers of TTC to vote for the winner. That winner will receive the DVD set!

Simple right? Well - check out the rules listed in the comments and send in your submission!

Good luck!
