<div>The '''Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes''' was a contest held in [[1990s#1993|1993]] to promote the first [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] cartoon, the syndicated ''[[Wikipedia:The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.<br />
<br />
The contest's grand prize — a $1,000 [[wikipedia:KB Toys|Kay-Bee Toys]] shopping spree — was awarded to two lucky winners, one of whom happened to be [[Chris]]; the other winner of the contest was a six year old girl from California, who decided to split her prize money with her classmates instead. This seminal event marks both the high point of Chris's life and the first hint of his future decline into the manchild we know and troll today. The segment below was from the ''[[Wikipedia:Dateline NBC|Dateline News]]'' program on [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] NBC affiliate [[Wikipedia:WVIR|WVIR]], and was Chris's ''first'' televised appearance. The segment on Chris's DVD is partially seen twice, as it was repeated and re-recorded on a later edition of the same newscast.<br />
<br />
The video shows several revealing things, namely that Chris's verbal skills and fashion sense have not improved since he was twelve. In fact, the only thing that has visibly changed is his sense of entitlement.<br />
<br />
Ever since winning the Sweepstakes, [[Chris and contests|Chris has entered several other contests]], expecting to win through the sheer power of his [[autism]].<br />
<br />
Of the games Chris bought, only 3 are known:<br />
*''Batman Returns'' ($49.99)<br />
*''[[Sonic]] Spinball'' ($49.99)<br />
*"Star Trek" (probably ''Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past'') ($12.99)<br />
<br />
Chris is also seen pulling an original "[[Power Rangers]] Megazord" (est. $29.99) out of a bag at the end of the video.<br />

'''Anchorwoman:''' Well, we've got a little more for ya, including what Sonic the Hedgehog means to a very special [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] boy. And the significance goes ''way'' beyond the high score and [[List of videos|videos]].<br />
<br />
[''One clip cuts out and another begins.'']<br />
<br />
'''Anchorwoman:''' Finally, tonight, Sonic the Hedgehog is running ''[[wild]]ly'' in [[Chris's_homes#Cloverleaf_Lakes_Apartments|the Chandler household]] this weekend. 12-year-old Christian Chandler of Charlottesville was the winner in [[monthly tugboat|a video game shopping spree]]. Christian is one of only about a hundred winners nationally to receive [[Chris and money|''$1,000'']] worth of Sega games and equipment. For his parents, it’s just another example of how well he's doing. Christian is a high-functioning autistic child. This past fall, of his own initiative, he entered a contest based on a favorite cartoon character.<br />
<br />
'''Cashier:''' [''quiet''] $980.8...<br />
<br />
'''Chris:''' ...I had to do was exactly...watch ''Sonic the Hedgehog''...uh, ''cartoon''...an—and [[speech impediment|risten]] to what Sonic says at the ''end'' of it…and writin' it down for [[Time Void|a whole week]]. And then, I had to mail it in, and I had to be drawn out of a hat, and I just won!<br />
<br />
'''Anchorwoman:''' And [[Bob Chandler|Christian's father]] says it only takes a few hours for him to master an electronic game and then...''move onto another!''<br />
<br />
'''Co-anchor:''' Unbelievable...<br />
<br />
'''Anchorwoman:''' I can't master any of ’em! That's it for ''now'', and it’s just...comin’ up on the NBA basketball game at 5:30. It’s not 6:30; it’s 5:30. We'll see you back here at 11:00. Thanks for watching.<br />
<br />
'''Co-anchor:''' Good night.<br />
<br />
'''[[Niggos|Black]] Anchorman:''' Buh-bye.<br />
