Contests should just forgo the prizes. Why are prizes given out
anyway? I've never even accepted the few I've gotten. The satisfaction
is having the video shown in public, IMO.

I guess what I'm saying here is, I'm not at all surprised folks would do such retarded things...
But damn, I bet you felt like the king pimp editor.

not only did she take your video, but she put it to a different song, added some random crap at the end, and then entered it into a contest... it's a good thing we caught it in time though <3
