Odd request.

June 17-23 Future Shop flyer. Does anyone have it? I am looking at it online (from their website) and cannot make it any larger to read the fine print! If anyone has the flyer in person or knows of anyway to enlarge it for me i need to know the following.
On page 16 of 32, there are satellite systems. At the top it says free poker set with every satellite system. Need to know what the fine print directly below this says.
can anyone help me out?

No problemo - I've got the flyer right here - just let me grab my magnifying glass...

We are bound and determined to overcharge you for the specified satellite system - we will do everything in our power to oversell programming packages for which we make enormous commissions. In return we will give you a 'free' poker set we picked up in China for 23 cents. Thank-you for your acceptance of our continued gouging.

thank you so much. i bought a system yesterday with a 12 month contract. the guy seemed sort of clueless and i asked about that...he said 'ummm....err.....i think you've gotta have the 24 month contract with that one'
Today, I got thinking about it.....and checked the flyer...thought i'd see if there was fine print about a 24 month contract. Bought two receivers and a dish. Think i'm gonna be calling them for my free poker set this morning :)

edited to add: i know its probably a crappy poker set...and i didn't buy the sytem for that...i was buying it anyways...but hell, if i should have gotten it, i want it!
