The TUAW "Create a Feb. 22 Apple Invite" contest
It all started
with the supposed Airport Express
invitation that showed up on Flickr, announcing an Apple press event for February 22nd. It was soon deemed to be a
fake, and then two more
popped up, with different designs (also fake). They weren't the best: in the Airport invite the perspective of the
Apple was off, and the blue one actually misspelled the word "February." We know you can do better.So, with that in mind, we're announcing the "Create a Feb. 22 Apple Invite" contest. Submit your best looking, most convincing, most plausible and clever invite to us by (when else) February 22nd by leaving a link to your creation in the comments to this post. A winner will be chosen by the TUAW staffers deep in our secret offices (a broom closet in the back of Penn Station) on February 22nd, and the winner will be announced on the 23rd. To the creator of our favorite invitation will go an Apple logo stainless travel mug that Scott bought at the Apple Campus Store (here is a pic of the prize) while in California for this past January's Macworld.
Good luck, and get cracking! Mac rumor sites are counting on you!

Taking after the fake ads, eh?
You mispelled "Airport" in the line "They weren't the best: in the Airpot invite..."

Stop it! Seeing poorly made ads annoyed me a lot. I don't say no rumor shoud be allowed, but rumor blog entiries should be mininal.
I firmly believe that *utilizing* that kind of poor rumors will make the overall quailty and fame of the entire TUAW lower.

Are Apple invites meant to be secret?
Is there a reason we never see a photo of actual (real) invitations?
Just curious...

Oh, and have fun guessing what that is on the bottom, as well as why 2 is significant, and whether or not the lowercase i's have greater significance than just being roman numerals.
