The Curtain Closes
8th June 2006
As of 10am BST on 8th June 2006, the Video Competition will be closed. After two hectic weeks of quite possibly the best and funniest video production we've ever seen (and some quite interesting marketing techniques), we'll be tallying up the final view totals. Check out the competition page for more details.

Damn, and I timed all my ebay items to end today to try and up our viewings....
Oh, well, it probably wouldn't have made that much difference...
Nice work everyone

On the competition page itself it says that the results will be announced on Tuesday.
Did one of the videos disappear? I'm sure there were 37 before...

Seej dropped out because of all the poo that started to surface in the competition. I respect his decision, but it's really a shame. He surely would have captured one of the "best of the rest" prizes (which have never been defined and can therefore be whatever MC wants them to be (even overshadowing the "most views" prizes)).

Thanks mate. That whole thing got pretty disgusting and in the end I didn't want anything to do with it. If MC still wanna send me free stuff I'm not gonna complain, but I figured if I was going to whine about the stupid flaming taking place I should put my money where my mouth was. More details on my vid page if anyone's that interested (though I'm not going to pimp the link again - you can find it if you really want). Cheers anyway for all the positive comments I got. Not to sound like some blubbering Academy Award winner, but people saying nice things is far more valuable to me than any prize. Especially for a woman of colour like me
P.S. \/\/007! 600 posts!

Yay, 3 bids on my random tat eBay auction that was running to co-incide with the vid comp.
It's up to 11p now, almost enough to cover the postage
/me suspects the eventual "winner" may sqeeeee with delight.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7625022912&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 <-- for interest only, not a shameless plug, as if it gets over the cost of a stamp i'll be very worried!

Congratulations to all the winners!
The 'huge shake up' of the top 50 places on the leaderboard promised in the Sentinel:
1. Oliverkeers13 overtakes Mikeyj
2. Er...
3. That's it

Well, second place is... actually some nice prizes!
Heartfelt wonderfulness to all of Team PvN. A good job well done. And congrats to all the other video people.
Now, does this mean that Ollie's back on top again?
edit: ahhhhh yes, indeed he is.

Toerag's not the word...

If we had come first I would have got a purple leitmark for looking like an idiot...is that really what they're supposed to be about?

Better than winning a purple idiot for looking like a Leitmark I suppose?
Brazil - it's just like watching Blyth Spartans innit?

The things I've done with purple idiots.....it would make your eyes water.
BRA Vs CRO...Bradford Vs Croydon. Boring second half.
