Thanks. This was the first one I'd seen with the hole-punch card so I thought it would be something new.

Actually, the new punched holes one takes you to a gag site now.

Yes, a gag site... from which you can get the toggle switch cover. Nothing's changed!

All I saw was a reference to a Mini invisibility cloak, along with a bunch of old gag gifts like you used to see in the back of comic books,

That's OK, Gromit's a novice spy.

I have the new Rolling Stone red glasses ad in hand - I just need to get home to check it out!!!
EDIT:
And I'm home. The new ad and what it directs you to is cool. And the new prize is interesting. But that's all I'll say...

Black Box 3rd secret
I just checked out the 3rd promotion in Rolling Stones, and went to the website they gave me, The little prize is pretty sweet, but someone else can give it away, because last time some people wanted to keep it a secret... so go get out your red glasses and go to your closest bookstore!!!!

I never got the second thing, the switch cover from the people, so I do not expect to get the third, if there is any to be had. But it’s a fun ad, I have to agree.

The first was a PDF download of some MTTS stuff to put in your windows or something. Bumper sticker things that said "I Brake For..." and it had a little picture of something relating to each of the days of the MTTS run.
