I know what you mean about the whole votes thing. I had success in one video contest (see Sarahbou & Caribou) because I told everyone about it on the boards where I'm active and asked they spread the word. I think my video was good, but if I hadn't done a lot of publicizing, I don't know that it would have come in as highly as it did. Still, I was able to get a DSLR with the proceeds. :)
Cool ... so it earned you some money? I had some nice people from P&G call me and work on airing it but it never materialized. Wonder if they can help me find a literary agent for my scripts?
Sorry to be so late in replying ... missed the comment somehow. I got into the top ten but wasn't the winner. Much of the contest was about votes so if you had lots of friends you stood a better chance. It did real well though and Procter and Gamble wanted to air it but I couldn't figure out the details for the copyrights on the photo (not mine) so we hit a roadblock there. I still like it though, thanks for the comment.
Wow. Sorry, guy, but your vehicle for joking about vanity is rooted in the same impulse that gives the world racism. Funny you should bring that up, speaking of questioning your own assumptions.
From a Freudian perspective, I suppose we all seek acceptance from our fathers and nurturing from our mothers. Would you prefer the former or the latter in order to feel accomplished in your arguments? I'm willing to offer you either, (provided it ends your silly moral banter over what we can or can not find humorous in todays society).
Tasteless making fun of a culture of people. How about make fun of black people eating fried chicken and watermelon that would be HILARIOUS. Or JEWS eating matzo balls. Mexicans Crossing the RIO GRAND! OH I know Italians eating Spaghetti. You worked HARD ON THIS IDEA!
Looking over all of the videos you have created, I can see that you know how much effort it takes to create one.
Cultural comedy is everywhere. Look at the Beverly Hillbillies, look at a Mad magazine, watch Saturday Night Live, listen to some stand up comics. Better yet, don't take yourself so seriously. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then we are too uptight.
What's this "we" crap? If "We" can laugh at "ourselves"? I doubt very seriously that you are among the people so blithely called hillbillies. I agree with jbrams1968. So-called hillbillies are the last people that society feels it can mindlessly bash. It's interesting, too, that the music used in this piece is a folk classic played by accomplished musicians. Amazing, how ignorance is evident in all social stratas. It's even uglier when its smug.
You're wound too tight ... go get a massage or something. I would love to engage you in dialog about this topic, but I hate to waste my breath. Like it or dislike it, you are entitled to your opinions.
OH, by the way, the joke lies in the perception of vanity, it's not about hillbilly bashing (unless your a racist). Maybe you're the one who needs to examine your own moral self.
Go man go.I hope you win,gonna try to help you out will vote every day.If you have time check out my video.I only have one my frist attempt.I have a mistake got to re-edit.Keep up the good work.

I didn't even know there was a contest until I searched for the original ad to send to a friend. This is hysterical! Great job. How did you do?
