[marcheparche]

I like this video far better than the winner! Congrats :)

[TracyInsomiac]

My 18 year old said she liked this one better. She said "It seems more like a personal attack on Bush! It's Great!"

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks to both of you...if only the judges felt the same : }

But really, congrats to everyone and great job. This has been a great use of popular multimedia to raise awareness to a serious issue. Peace out everyone!

[ratmanrod]

very cool

[Bargetto951]

really great. all of your videos that I have seen are exceptional, timely and needed. thanks. can we get this one played during an inning stretch of the world series or the closing ceremonies of the olympics?

[RizMil]

Wow.. I think I loved this one more than the winner. I'm proud of everyone who applied their talents and passions to this brilliant song! THIS song and these videos make me proud to be an AMERICAN again! Thank you, Uncle SAM.....Harris that is!!

[CenterofAttentionLtd]

Well done, man. I am proud to be in the top three with you.

[Clarion13]

What a brilliant video!!!!!! The black and white and the edgy graphics are outstanding! I wish I'd seen this in time to vote, you'd be my winner! Congrats for 2nd place, you have a great talent my friend.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks you for all of your kind words!

[griffmom]

Congratulations Erik :-)

[jeeccentricx2]

great message. Bush has hurt this country more than people want to realize. I am glad he will be out soon. He will be know as the greatest "Hider of Truth" president there ever was. He was better at it then any one. Manly because no one had a talk show exporting his every word and action.

[newhampshirefree]

Congratulations Erik! Awesome video!

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks so much!

[Pippilly]

Thank you to Sam Harris for the opportunity, and the judges for their support. Congrats to all of those who entered and especially those who placed and won. This was a lot better than what I expected. Peace out everybody!

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks for your support!

[codabrother]

I think that this definitely should be the winner. It's great quality and has extremely clever graphics, all while accentuating the song and making you think. Top notch, and good luck. You've got talent, and I think it'll pay off here.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks so much!

[SensualRedHead]

Yeah!! Thank You!!

[GhostOfFreakin]

1,282 views with only 10 subscibers and 159 ratings with only 41 comments. How did that happen?

[ChipotlePictures]

Here's my response.

1. Seeing as your account opened today, I'm assuming you're someone trying to bring one video up and put all others down.

2. Take a look a the old video and how many views/ratings. Consider that this is now posted on a more popular users page, and that I have sent this to every individual I know and pleaded for help in the contest.

3. How do you cheat on YouTube? It's called publicity...look into it. I've taken enough crap from people on my vid. You're hopefully the last.

[GhostOfFreakin]

Nope. I don't care who wins. I just like well run contest and this one has been abusive to the community from start to finish. And yes, I opened the account because my other was blocked.

[GhostOfFreakin]

BTW, good luck. I know you worked hard on your video.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thank you.

[MidgeDog]

Very professional looking clip - well done. The music sounds a bit odd though, a little slow at the start and the end? Maybe it's my ageing laptop..lol

Good luck anyway

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks. The music is normal (but it might be the visuals that cause that feeling). Although, this isn't the highest quality version I have (the best one I have is full HD with the best music format.) Anyway, thanks for the comment and support!

[mysteryglo]

Wow!!! Fantastic!!!

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks!

[Staydol]

This is the most well done of the videos. It really extends the message that Sam is trying to put across in the most emotional way. This gets my vote.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks for your support!

[magicalchazwick]

very cool! i have to vote for my old friend sign543 tho.

[anna2912]

My favourite one! Very well done!

[SeanSeeny]

For me, this video is by far the best in the contest. It captures the boldness of the lyrics and compliments Sam's song in a very artistic way that never crosses over into self-promotion of ideas or beliefs outside of the original music. The makers should be very proud, as I am sure Sam is!! Thanks for your hard work.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks to both of you. I'm actually pretty much the only person who did it, and the only help I got was with someone who photo shopped the picture of the collapsed tower with the tvs. He did a great job. Thank you again for your support and kind words!! Peace!

[godsmack5001]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO. IM MY MIND YOU ARE ALREASY THE WINNER. i wish i could make videos like yours!!

GOOD JOB ChipotlePictures

[jbdale]

This deserves to be in the final four. It is: authentic, artistic, bold, commendable, creative, complex, captivating, deserving, entertaining, genuine, stylish, smooth, hopeful, impressive, independent, lively, musical, original, powerful, real, spiritual, strong, unique, visionary, vivacious, and worthy. I have watched over 4200 videos on youtube and I am saving this to my favorites.

[ChipotlePictures]

Wow...I don't think a simple "thanks" can match that! Peace and much gratitude for your support!!!

[rainyjane10]

Congratulations on being a finalist! Loved this video the first time I saw it.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks so much

[samyabad]

To justify the war in Iraq like to conceal the nudity with transparent clothes.

Excellent Video.

PEACE

[ChipotlePictures]

Lol...thanks for the support!

[donnadbb]

i think this is a FANTASTIC video. very well done! i am very very impressed with your hard work and talent!

[griffmom]

Wow the thinking man's video! Lots of ideas in 3.56 minutes!! You should be proud. You did an amazing job!

[dubiousmike]

The other contestant who did the fire lettering before you did a better job with it. But good use of After Effects.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks for the comment. I wasn't trying to do the same thing, I was trying to indicate the destruction that comes with war. The flames in the other one stick around when "No War" is shown always perplexed me a little. Anyway, thank and peace out!

[rts12a]

I think I've heard this song too much, now. But I'm thinking so far far this should be the winner of your contest. But I'm hoping you will put out your own professional version of War On War to give to MTV ( etc. ), to be thee video you'd like them to play.

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks for your support!

[angelboku1]

Congratulations and good luck!!

[Commanderloochy]

Superb editing and effects, this gets my vote for number one.

[loloioi]

wow this person put so much effort.

[ChipotlePictures]

Hopefully it pays off...

[loloioi]

hmm ur right. but all the others are just as the same as this one. but this one is kind of unique but doesn't really show much but shows a lot in a way which pretty much perplexed. SO =] i think they're all good.

[ruez30]

Amazing job with the graphics! Congratulations! Good luck

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks!

[GreatGig1]

Congrats!! Good luck to you!! Peace always...:-)

[jimothy67]

Loved this one too...........

[Pookieftw]

I really liked the graphics in this! Congrates!

[robertantonnyc]

Is this who won?

[VLPRESL]

robert, this is one of the 9 finalists:-)

[clicksmarter]

Too bad this missed the deadline.

Excellent production.

[ChipotlePictures]

Missed the deadline? It was in before the deadline and couldn't be a finalist unless it did... : )

[mindya12]

Um, he's a finalist. What are you talking about? He made it in more than enough time obviously.

[NouraMania]

it's amazing !!

[VLPRESL]

congratulations chipotlepictures:-)
