The health insurance prize comes courtesy of Tylenol, who are doing some sort of guerilla zine marketing thing for their pain relief products called “Ouch.” It’s described as “a quarterly sixteen-page insert glued into your favorite magazines (…) a newsletter website, updated monthly [and] a sponsor of events that relate to modern day lifestyles that involve pain.” Link.
