Search with Meat Loaf

If we are going to talk about making cakes with bacon I think it only follows that we should talk about doing internet searches with Meat Loaf.

So, if you know Gypsy the musical, you know that to make it, you’ve gotta have a gimmick. Well SearchWithMeatLoaf is just that; a gimmick wrapped around a search engine (powered by Google and Ask.com).

The premise is pretty simple. It is a search engine and at random times they decide to give out Swag Bucks. If you win enough Swag Dollars you can enter the Swag store and buy some Meatloaf related products (some vinyl, a Meat Loaf etched Ipod Nano or Classic or a etched Macbook) and a ton of other prizes including classic vinyl, a Starbucks’ card, a Nintendo Wii, a year of Netflix, a Starcaster guitar and Amp by Fender, etc., you get the idea).

While the site does not require you to register for the chance to win Swag Bucks, one seems to be given out every 3 minutes or so, my guess is that to hold on to your Swag Bucks you probably need to register and watch them added up before you have enough for the Meat Loaf etched Macbook. Of course, you better start searching now since it costs 9900 Swag Bucks.

I guess I am thrown by the site as a whole since Meat Loaf hasn’t had an album release since Bat out of Hell III in 2006, which is also the album being ‘advertised’ at the top of the page.
