Click on the Texans for soup

120606_soup.jpgHoustonist has stumbled on something the Texans could have a chance at winning, but they need your help. Here's how it works: faithful Houstonians click for cans on the Campbell's website. After all the votes are in, the fine people at Campbell's will round up the winning team's official stats and donate one can of soup to the food bank of the team's choice for every pound the total team weighs. By our calculations, that's 17,948 cans if the Texans win. There's also a prize of 2006 cans of soup for the team that shows the greatest improvement in votes from last year. Complicated enough? We thought so.

So far, the Texans are roughly in the middle of the pack, but we know we can do better. The Packers are in the lead, by more than 200,000 votes, but you're an idiot to think God cares exclusively about the Packers. The contest ends on December 15, and there is a limit of one vote per person per day, so get to it. Keep up the clicking and tell all your friends.
