You know what would be awful? If I got exactly six entries.

Mine's coming homey. I've been trying to get a video camera off my friend for a week (web cam quality will kill it...) and it's been a pain. Also what with the Hollywood writer's strike, I unfortunately had to write all the dialogue myself.

Mine will also be up ;)

Patience though! I do have a number of questions.

Thanks for the warning. If you don't tell the other writers, I'll doctor it for half price.

Yabbas asked (and I am answering them here for fairness)

1) Can I submit more than one entry to maximise my chances?

One per person. Sorry!

2) I've got loads of ideas - most of the videos up now only demonstrate ONE feature of the ITTs - must I only show ONE feature in a video or can I demonstrate loads of different features?

Use your judgement.

3) Can ideas come from copyrighted sources (say for instance - can I replicate TV adverts for other devices but using the ITT instead...)

Like an Apple ad? That'd be funny. Stick with YouTube's TOS on copyrights and you'll be good.

4) Is comedy seen in a good or a bad light?

I love it. I'm not the only judge though.

5) Maximum length of a video entry?

Stay within YouTube's limit.

6) Can I include music/sound effects in mine?

Go right ahead. Impressing people will get votes.

Extra points for well-done satire, right? :D

"Hello I'm an iPhone." "Hello, I'm an N810."

Who would you pick for models?

I'd pick me, and me in drag. Both hot, both appeal to opposite ends of the spectrum. ;) (This is the most sarcastic thing I've ever said, print it and frame it) :) Still no camera, it's like pulling teeth.

Hedgecore: If you have no camera, you can still create a slideshow and and voice-dub it.
