March Video Event – Cheers!

10

We’re already part-way into March and that means in less than a week people will take to the streets and gather together in a celebration of…uh…dressing up in green and getting absolutely hammered for reasons we don’t completely understand! But hey, celebrating holidays we don’t know the meaning of by drinking is kind of America’s thing! In the spirit of inebriated camaraderie we raise a glass to you and say a hearty “cheers!” quickly followed by an unexcited “meh”.

Post a video of you raising a glass to us. What’s in the glass? Who cares! Feel like giving a quick toast? Go for it! Want to just stare awkwardly at the camera and drink? Sure, why not. As long as you give us a cheers the rest is up to you.

The Rules:

  1. Keep your video to 10 seconds max
  2. Make sure you’re cheers-ing straight into the camera, I’ll have a video up later demonstrating
  3. Pants optional as long as we can’t tell one way or the other
    c. Whatever you drink doesn’t have to be alcoholic if you’re not into that sort of thing
    d. Bonus points if you chug the whole thing instead of just taking a measly sip
    e. More bonus points if you drink out of a weird container (crystal vase, boot, hat, etc.)
    f. Extra extra bonus points if you make something creative and post the recipe along with your video. If you need some inspiration we have a good amount of terrible ideas and you’ll even get a button out of it, in addition to your sweet new badge.

We're going to be using these for something so make sure you're okay with having a video of you drinking something on a dumb ecommerce site.

Post your video on YouTube so they embed properly and we can download them. If you don’t know how check this out.

What’s in it for me?

Everyone that posts a video will be rewarded with a never-before-seen temporary forum badge that'll be displayed until the end of March. Just like last month these event badges will override every badge other than scapegoat (sorry @BillLehecka). The badges will be awarded after videos get posted.

The two videos with the most stars and one staff choice will be sent a prize on top of their badges. Congrats to @BillLehecka and @PurplePawPrints for winning the star votes and @marklog for winning staff choice, what a horrible mistake to encourage his behavior! Honorable mention goes to @JasonToon for his creepy/seductive public library kiss. Prizes will be on their way to you by Friday.

In the spirit of the season I've decided to tackle The Green Goliath. I'm going to post the video of it tonight. I can’t believe I'm going to do this. In addition to my Drinking Terrible button I expect a personal apology from @matthew for suggesting I drink this abomination.

There's a bit of a short turnaround on this so get your videos posted by 11:59pm EST on Sunday 3/15. Cheers Meh!
