Switch Video Contest Winners

If you're referring to Will Ferrell then you didn't get the joke. He wasn't really in the porn business. He's an actor and was until recently on Saturday Night Live. This is probably why the commerical with him will never be aired. Too many people wouldn't get the joke.

DUH ! :rolleyes:

pluuuuuuueeze, I got the joke, thank you. Sorry if I don't look up all the actors real names...what you mean that monkey was not a real monkey ?

And it is not going to be aired not because people don't get the joke (people are not THAT stupid), but because the way US (auto)censorship works: you can see 27 people getting shot on TV every minute, but you cannot say the word '*****', or god forbid, even show one. Anyway, 'the character' of Will Ferrell (I guess I need to chose my words really carefully around here...) has a badass attitude, and I think it would be nice to see more of that in Apple ads, even if it is a joke...

I'd buy a computer from the Big Lebowski...
 
Problem with Quicktime 6?

Did anyone else have problems seeing the winner, the Lego, and one other? The baby and Ballmer worked just fine. Is there a problem with the Quicktime 6 plug-in on Netscape 4.79? (running on System 9.1)
 
I will contact all the winners to get the shipping addresses soon. We have some wonderful party gifts for you all......

But don' forget to mention you've been given an award in you sig, let everyone know you're special...

D
 
Congratulations to all of the entrants to the contest for putting their creative influence out there. The monkey had me in stitches, and the South Park was spot on, IMO. But I must say that there is nothing more hilarious than Steve Ballmer being his usual over-the-top self. To paraphrase Kevin Smith's final Jay and Silent Bob film, "Steve Ballmer is f*cking clown shoes."

The Balmer one is killer, but what event did he do that at, Bill should have shot him :D

It IS a Netscape thing. I used v4.79 and QT6 didn't work on some movies. So, I downloaded IE 5.1.5 and installed the QT6 plug-ins. All of the movies worked fine. Since you used Netscape 4.75, I am left to conclude that my problem may be limited to Netscape 4.79. I downloaded it and reinstalled it and the problem persisted. Thanks for the suggestion. It enabled me to see all of the movies. :)

By the way, my bad for failing to congratulate you on a great movie. Making that movie with a clay model must have been a HUGE amount of WORK! Way to go on your persistence as well as artistic accomplishment.
