[Contest] Win A Box Of Limited Edition Example Elastoplasts!

Example fans! Got an ouchie? We have exactly what you need to make it all bettah. You heard on twitter from the man himself that some Elastoplasts (for Americans or non-Brits: band aids) have been made up after his lyric "Stick around, yeah. Like Elastoplasts" off his single "Stay Awake" from his new album Playing In The Shadows. Well, we happen to have THREE of the 150 limited edition boxes to give away to ANYONE IN THE WORLD who loves Example.

Covered in small cuts? Just like Example a heck of a lot? Let's continue!

To enter, leave us a comment with your favorite Example song (new or old). You have until Monday, October 10th at 6pm ET to enter.

As a fan of Hello Kitty band aids myself, the elitist in me is SO excited about these limited edition ones, aren't you!?
