The Invention of Lying DVD Contest

Imagine a world in which the human race has never evolved the ability to lie. Now imagine that you've discovered how to do it. That's the premise of The Invention of Lying starring Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner. Mark Bellison (Gervais) discovers that his newfound "superpower" can get him anything he wants. Well, almost anything, except for the love of Anna McDoogles (Garner). Co-written and co-directed by Rick Gervais himself, The Invention of Lying will help make you contemplate the consequences of your next fib.

Special Features: The DVD features a handful of extras that include the documentary prequel The Dawn of Lying, a making of featurette, Ricky's video podcasts and more. To learn more about this release, visit Warner Bros.




To Enter the Contest:

In a reply to this post, share a lie that you've told. It can be as small as a little white lie. For example, maybe you gave the store cashier a wrong phone number or you told work that you were sick when you weren't. You get the idea.

Good luck ...Liars.

once when i was filling out college applications my teacher asked if i could meet with her that day. i told her that i could not because my mom had injured her back and she needed help with the baby. then my teacher responded by saying "ok then i will just come there." and... she did. to the reality that my mom had not actually injured her back and was at work.

I was on a first date and he took me to a very nice restaurant. We were picking an appetizer and he suggested the scallops. I could tell he really liked them so I said that would be great despite the fact that I hate scallops. I had to choke them down with a smile on my face but I only have myself to blame. Nice guy just not for me. I'm more of a burgers and fries, hoodies and jeans person.

I hate onions. So I used to tell all my girlfriends I was allergic to onions, because I know how people think if they sneak them in, I won't notice. But I always do. Then I have to lie about liking the meal and I don't enjoy it or want seconds.

i was a sophomore at an all girls catholic highschool and seriously forgot my spanish homework at home. I had used every excuse in the book so in the heat of the moment i told my teacher {sister magdalena} yup a nun, that my aunt had died the night before so i couldnt finish my homework. She called my mom later that evening to offer her condolences. My mom made me go to confession once a week for a month and i was grounded for a month. Worst lie ever..... lol

This is a lie and just plain rotten. Around 1.5 years ago, I worked at a place driving forklift with maybe six other guys. Every Wednesday and Saturday we have the state drawing for Powerball (its for most of the U.S.) One of the older guys, Bob (he was around 62) always played but on Wednesdays, he had me call in and get the winning numbers for him, he did not own a cell phone.

I would write down his numbers for him, right there on the loading dock. (With me so far?) He always made a photocopy of his tickets and hung them in the lunchroom. Why? I have no idea but its the last time he ever did. Anyways, one of the drawings was VERY high, around 160 million. I was looking at his copies and looking for the easiest 6 digit row he had. I found an easy one so I memorized it.

All the other guys including the office staff knew of my lie/prank. So around 10pm Bob says, "hey Ken, when you get a minute, can you call and get my numbers?" I said, no problem buddy! (ROFL) So we kind of gather around and I start calling, I have my pen and paper in hand. I wrote down what I had remembered, gave it to him and went about my business. It was VERY difficult not laughing.

He got his tickets out of his wallet and sure as heck around 60 seconds later....."Oh my F***in God. No F***in way!! It finally paid off"!!! We all still held a straight face, believe that or not. This 62 year old guy is dancing around, starts crying, the whole nine yards. He wanted to use my cell again to call his wife, WAKE HER and tell her the good news. I did what any nice guy would of done...I borrowed him my phone.

I can see from a distance the office people are rolling on the floor. So Bob calls her up crying and tells her the good news. They were making travel plans and all. NEXT, is where I had to shut it down. Our second shift boss was still there (knew nothing of the prank) and Bob and this guy hated each other.

Bob says he's going to his office to QUIT and tell him to go F**K himself. (this is all true). At that point, I did tell him I was only joking. You wanna see a guy get pissed? You should of been there. The guy cant catch me cause he's 62 but working with him after that was very tough.

He ignored me for like 6 weeks. All his dreams.....GONE! Did I have any regrets? Nope, thats how dock guys just goof around I guess. Ken

Okay, years ago I was in Key West with some buddies. No, not those type of buddies. We hooked up the camper after college and decided to do a road trip to margaritaville. We got down there and MTV was doing Beach MTV. Daisy Fuentes and Ed Marques. Okay, aging myself, but I can remember those days. We were standing on the beach watching them film when one of the producers came up and asked if I had a a desire to be on MTV. I am not the most photogenic person, but I said Hell Yeah. Then I asked if my buddies could also and they said fine. They asked me several things and asked if I had a beach confession. I told a little white lie about me hooking up with my best friend's sister. Never hooked up with her, but sure as hell wanted too. Of course he saw this on MTV and boy, **** hit the fan. Had to talk myself out of that one and tell him it was a lie.
