I showed the Xbox Father’s Day essay contest to our teens and at least the younger two didn’t seem that interested (sniff, sniff), but maybe some readers have gaming dads and would like to write a 250-500 word essay about your gaming dad. Our oldest who is the best writer of the bunch said he might be down for it.

Could also do your gaming husband, best friend, boyfriend or brother according to the essay contest page:

Your essay should be at least 250 words, but no more than 500 words, and must be received by 11:59 P.M. Pacific Time, June 9, 2007. Essays should be e-mailed to xlmail@microsoft.com, with the subject line “Xbox Dad of the Year.”

If your essay is chosen as a winner you will win an Xbox 360 and some other goodies. Seems like a nice Father’s Day gift for your brother, best friend, husband or boyfriend who’s a Dad or legal male guardian even if you don’t win the contest.

Did this post make you go hmm?
