Nightclub's annual gross “win a boobjob” competition hijacked in the most awesome way possible

Tiger Tiger, a commercial brand that fronts many well-known night clubs in South Africa, is having another "Win a boobjob!" competition, where "ladies" can win R30 000 towards a breast augmentation in "celebration" of National Cleavage day, (because nothing celebrates cleavage like encouraging women to feel inadequate about theirs,) and that tells you everything you need to know about Tiger Tiger.

"Celebrating National Cleavage day in style", this competition declares, before giving details like "The more you drink the more entries you receive" (so stylish) and "This Year Tiger Tiger is opening entries up to GENTS as well who can nominate a lady of his choice if his name is drawn."

I suppose nothing says "I love you" like "I want you go undergo cosmetic surgery". Nominate your wife or girlfriend (or daughter, ew) for a boob job! That's not likely to cause instant insecurities and major problems in your (I'm going with already messed up) relationship at all!

Keep it classy, Tiger.

This year's entries have been pretty great though.

Apart from getting as drunk as possible in some of South Africa's most disgusting spots on arguably the world's most disgusting shot, entrants were required to "1. Comment with your email address below" and "2. Share this event." 

Instead of the flood of "omg like I totes need new titties lol selfie duckface lol!!1!" that makes all other women, cancel that, all other humans cringe with the embarrassment of association, the subtly named TIGER TIGER BOOBJOB GIVEAWAY event wall was, for at least a while, covered with announcements that entrants will, if they win, give the surgery to "a breast cancer survivor or transgendered woman in need."

It started with a post from Kyle Brinkmann, who made the declaration first:


Kyle, who is the founder and CEO of the record label Do Work Records, used his platform and influence to call on others to help, and before long, this snowballed into entry after entry, mostly worded like this, the idea being to enter Kyle enough times to make sure he wins:



Of course, not everyone is the same. We're not sure which comment we like more, this:



This:


Or this:


Tiger responded in that classy, respectable way of theirs, they changed the entry rules half-way through the competition.

The rule now is, "Like the relevant tiger tiger pages for more information on how to win and making multiple enteries." (Yup. "Enteries") 

Does this mean comment entries are no longer valid? Because that would bring the chances of the winnings going to a breast cancer survivor or transgendered woman in need down from really very high to quite low.

Thankfully Kyle has decided to launch the Kyle Brinkmann South African National Cleavage Day Breast Cancers Survivor Project, in partnership with PinkDrive.

"The aim is to raise money through donations and charity events, already backed by a large portion of the South African electronic music scene. All the proceeds will go directly towards the costs of reconstructive surgery for those Breast Cancer Survivors without the means to access it."

You can read more about this pretty damn brilliant initiative and why Kyle decided to make this his mission (and donate) here.
