Super Bowl Ad Contest
Doritos, those delicious chip snack products, is wrapping up a contest that allows anyone - you, me, junior college film students, the son of a CEO, whoever - to submit a 30 second commercial. If the commercial wins, it will be shown during this year's Super Bowl. Yep, some local amateur film maker can have his video, filmed using a 500 dollar video camera and edited on his Mac, shown during a 2.6 million dollar 30 second slot. Dreams do come true.

So my friend, Uncle Bill, knows someone who is one of the 5 finalists. His commercial is called Live The Flavor, by 5pointp. The second from the right on the site.
Please go and vote for it. The only catch is you need a Yahoo account to vote. It's free but it requires a few minutes to sign up. My Yahoo is kind of cool, a little old school, but cool so it might take you on a productive path anyway.
