Here's a movie promotion you won't see in the United States anytime soon: "The Wackness" is holding a Willy Wonka-style Golden Ticket competition. Bundled inside one of their first 1,000 DVDs is a golden ticket that entitles the bearer to a weekend trip for two to Amsterdam and a free bag of pot. Yes, pot, from the Hill Street Blues cafe.
You'll recall that in 1971's "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," the eponymous chocolatier bundled tickets to a tour of his chocolate factory in his candy bars. And now, some thirty years later, we've seen its modern real-life counterpart. Fabulous.
