So, you're already wasting valuable company time reading my blog. You might as well help Indianapolis food banks by voting for the Indianapolis Colts in the Campbell's Chunky Soup Click for Cans Contest/Advertisement/Campaign/Thing. Indy is currently fourth, despite being the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL. Let's help reconcile the records.

So here's the deal:

• go to http://www.chunky.com/clickforcans.aspx
• vote for the Colts
• go back there tomorrow and repeat
• do so until the page says the contest is over

"But I don't like the Colts or quarterbacks with rocket-laser arms," you say. Don't think of it this way. You're voting for people of central Indiana that need your help. So even if you like another team, please suck it up and vote for the people of Indianapolis by voting for the Colts.

Thanks for helping out Indy!
