$100,000 Prize for YouTube Video That Doesn’t Suck

The Onion reports that YouTube is offering a $100,000 prize for any video that is actually good. No entries have yet appeared in YouTube’s new “Actually Good” tab, according to this story. If you’re careful, you’ll see that MIKMA makes a subtle cameo with “Mikma was here.” That’s either a complete coincidence or evidence that The Onion writers are actually surfing YouTube.

I for one will not enter. I’m going to focus on the brand contests where the least crappy consumer-generated video gets $100 off any $2000 purchase at McDonalds (only at 3 participating McDonalds that will not be identified).
