Apparently, you can put a cost on "free"dom

So, have you ever been on a website and at the top of the screen you see something along the lines of, "WIN A FREE IPOD!" or "WIN A FREE CELL PHONE!"? So you get excited and click on it. Well, as soon as you get to the new site you see, " Win this brand new FREE iPod! Just complete this free survey!" So you think, a small price to pay for a free iPod, right? So you sit there, and sit, and sit, doing this stupid survey that consists of 250 questions and takes up your entire evening. But you keep telling yourself that at the end you will get the prize. So then you finally finish and it says ,"Congratulations!" (you're excited) "You're now eligable for this free iPod!" (you can hardly contain yourself by this point) "just buy any two of these stupid and outragously priced items and its all yours!"...SO MUCH FOR FREE!
