Is it my warped sense of humour and scepticism or is this a wind up?

I mean, 'grab em by the sack' and boys hanging out....

The goal is to be creative and clever without being totally offensive! It's worth $10,000! Give it a shot!

It's not about being creative, it's about having as much as possible friends: "If your video grabs attention and grabs votes, you could win $10,000. Read the rules, upload your video, then get all your friends to vote for you. What the heck are friends for, anyway?"

I've seen enough contests like this were my 8 year old daughter could win even if she never had used a camera before, it's all about collecting as many votes as possible. This is not really a contest for the serious videographer.

I think it's for the serious videographer as well as the total amateur. It's a great way to exercise creativity and captivate the masses to vote for your video! And what the heck, winner get's $10,000!
