I don't share his fervor, but I agree with the Colonel. If you want to be recognized as a trustworthy source for Simpsons info, you should try never to advocate or condemn the act of donut hacking. It makes the site seem shady to people who disagree with hacking to see the wiki's facebook page handing out stolen donuts, and if word of the contest reached EA (Get enough people going for the sweepstakes and it will), you'll have other troubles on your hands. Geogiles said he'd be held accountable if a winner's account was suspended by EA, but how do you plan on doing that? By reimbursing the winner for the donuts they may have paid for and items they now have no access to? There are repurcusssions here that aren't being considered, and I'm not sure if it's worth the extra facebook likes.That's not to say we should treat everyone who donut-hacks as a hardened criminal, but by having a third party pass out donuts that nobody has paid for, your site is endorsing a legal activity. I don't think you want to be doing that.
