Heh, the runners up part was a neat surprise, but I'll no doubt miss out on that too. Congrats to the winners -like some of you, I whole-heartedly agree on some and disagree on others, but c'est la vie.

With regards to the animated puking slusho cup -I guess they prefer to see slusho coming from the mouth of a cup than the underside of a jellyfish balloon.

I'd participate in an Unfiction group-wide video-salute to Slusho! and all associated parties if anyone else was gonna do it. We could make one video comprised of all our personal "thanks" and then post the whole thing on each our own youtube pages.

Congrats to the winners They are all very Good I love them all. I hope that it isn't true about one of the winners being a professional that would just be a shame. I would think that somebody that entered would have read the rules. If they did and still decided to enter in a commercial it taints the whole thing and ruins the fun that every body had doing this or, like they said on the rules, bring bad shame to slusho. If this is true and you have prof then I would do as said before and contact slusho. I hope that this isn't the case.
I had a lot of fun and would like to say one more time Congrats to the winners and I'm looking forward to see more work from all of them. I think a video thanks to slusho would be fun.

the runners up havent been e-mailed yet? bah i'm sure i'll get nuffin... congrats again to the winners: i totally called 3 of those (reagan's, robot, and cg robot)...i was surprised at the other two, but they're the judges not me..ah well

[Slushoman]

So after the initial "don't be a gloater" reaction I got when I first posted here I was turned off to this forum and had it set in my mind that I'd just not post again. But now something's come up that I should address.

I'm not a troller. I did make a commercial and I did win. I'm the guy who made the robot commercial. I said in my original posts that I didn't want to say which commercial was mine until the official announcement had been made but when everyone started insisting that I say which commercial was mine I got annoyed and fought goofiness with goofiness. I'm glad I never did say which commercial was mine since no one would have complained openly about it if I had.

[phantomjester]

so wait let me get this straight, you complain about someone making a new account in order to post without anyone knowing who they are, isn't that what you did by making the name slushoman? also you say that they would have to do some serious digging to find anything of yours? after reading his post i went and watched your slusho commercial, looked at your youtube channel and on that page it lists your website. how much digging did that take?

as i said before congrats for winning, i didn't personally like yours but i can see how it won. heres to hope we all get something.

[Slushoman]

I just told you what commercial I made and who I am. in my first post I said I didn't want to say what commercial was mine until the contest was over. If I used my youtube name that'd be an instant give away. Like other people who won who post here I didn't want to say anything until it was 100% official. I didn't read anything that said winners couldn't announce that they won before Slusho did but I thought it better to be safe than sorry. That's a far cry from creating fake youtube accounts just to give other entries low ratings and bad comments.

Oh wait, after re-reading flteacher's post it says they did some "checking" not "digging." So I was wrong when I quoted them as saying "digging." Sorry for the misrepresentation.

Still it bothers me that someone felt the need to "check" on me at all and then report their findings about me to others. No one bothered to send me a message (on youtube) and ask if I was a professional. Instead people are encouraging FLteacher to go tell Slusho on me. Apparently it's pretty easy for people to find out lots of information about me. My e-mail address is right next to my filmography that FLteacher and phantomjester found. Anybody think to e-mail me and ask me straight out if I followed the rules of the contest? No. Instead people wanted to go behind my back and try and get me thrown out of the contest with false accusations.

I was 100% eligible to submit an entry. What if FLteacher wrote slusho and said "i have proof that the guy who made the Slusho powered robot commercial is a pro and a cheater." You guys don't know what kind of paperwork the winners had to sign. What if Slusho reserved the right to disqualify someone at any time for any reason? What if they got a complaint and decided to err on the side of cation and just pick a new winner without checking the validity of Flteacher's complaint? Do you guys really want to win that bad that you want to try and get people kicked out of the contest?

Honestly, at this point can anyone blame me for saying that some people took this contest way too seriously?

[Clusterwan]

Well here it goes,
Slushoman I wouldn't worry that is what happens in contests. That is the reason that people take it so seriously. A contest is a compition between 2 or more people. Of course people are going to check on the winners thats the way life is. If you have nothing to hide then don't worry about it. One post is enough. No need to push it this to people that don't matter with the results. If they do decide to investigate it, it sounds like you should be able to prove your not. Nobody really needs to ask you because they would probably think that they wouldn't get a serious answer from you seeing how you acted before with your goofy to fight goofy (Although I don't agree with it and thought it was childish). I wouldn't think to ask if I thought you were a professional. I would think that if you did cheat that you probably wouldn't give a truthful answer because unfortunatly that's how people are. By getting this way your just going to make everyone think you are guilty. Don't worry they seem to be on the ball with this and I don't think they would have awarded you if they had any question. If they do and they do an investigation then you should be able to prove this to them with ease. This is a pretty cut and dry thing either you are or aren't if there are grey areas then of course people are going to question it's in our nature, it's how we try and understand things when we don't get.
Oh and by the way checking and digging in this case they mean the same thing. Well anyway congrats and don't worry about it.

I am staying as far from this (the Slushoman issue) as I can.

Congratulations are in order to all who won, to those who will receive a runners up prize and to all who took the time to make a commercial.

There is something to be said for winning graciously. How we behave in these situations is very telling about who we are. I am thankful and humbled by the experience. It has motivated me to shoot more of my own projects. It really was a joy. Other winners might not choose to approach winning the same way, and that's fine.

I will end with a quote from Lord Jeffrey...

"The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects."

[Slushoman]

[Clusterwan]

Well i wasn't going to post any more on this, but you obviously took what I said the wrong way. I was really trying to stick up for you and tell not to worry. Then you put down and half the people that entered in the contest in your last post ( people that worked very hard on there projects just like you). I know you said you were done with this Forum so this is for everybody else. This is his bio from a website for a Documentary that he made on Nerdcore. You decide if he sounds like a professional. Here's the web site this comes from http://www.nerdcoreforlife.com/aboutus.html



Dan Lamoureux - Producer/Director

Dan is a native of the south suburbs of Chicago and has been writing,
producing and directing his own films since the 8th grade. After
working for a Post-production house and the communications
services Department of South Suburban College, Dan received a
Media Fellowship from Saint Xavier University in 2001. After
completing his first feature length project he graduated in the spring
of 2002. Over the years Dan has co-hosted his own college radio
show, had pieces screen in several film festivals, has acted in and
crewed for countless student films and appeared in several stage
productions. In August 2005 a friend dragged him to see a "nerd
rapper" named mc chris who was performing at the Double Door in
Chicago. The only reason Dan agreed to go was because mc chris
had supplied voice talent to one of his favorite shows, Aqua Teen
Hunger Force. The performance was an astounding display of both
Nerd pride and Nerd rage and before the evening was over Dan
knew that he wanted to explore this world of Geek Rap that he would
soon learn was known as "Nerdcore." Besides producing and
directing, Nerdcore For Life!, Dan will also be one of the project's
primary cameraman.

If you worked in a post production house then That is pretty professional and you got paid to work in the industry. I'm also staring to think maybe they didn't investigate the winners because they knew so many people investigated the movie that they would most likely do the same to the contestants that won.

This contest was so much fun until Slushoman came along. What a miserable person. Perhaps his fat friends should shove a funnel in his head and pour some Slusho into his brain. He could use an injection of something positive. Can you imagine hanging out with this sad sack of sh_t? What a downer! He must complain about everything. He seems to get off on pointing out the flaws of others. Classic! Oh well. He says he's moving on so let's trust he will do so. Good Riddance Slushoman. Have fun pissing people off and making "amateur" videos with your obese hangers on. I regret that you are taking up space as one of the top five. There are so many others who deserve to be there and who would have accepted it with class. Not like you. Move along and let us enjoy what is left of this experience...PLEASE! I will not sign off with a quote this time as you think it is pretentious (and I do so value your opinion). I will simply mention three words that I think will help you be a better person. Those three words are... JENNY CRAIG and LITHIUM! In other words, take a chill pill you fat f_ck!



Wait a minute! There is that wink again! What could it mean? Surely it's not there by accident. Slushoman knows that it has to mean something. Could it possibly mean that I am a Mason on the tenth order and have secret knowledge handed down from the ancient Egyptians that tell me that Slushoman is a direct descendant of the half god creatures that once ruled over Mesopotamia and that we should bow down to his superior intellect even though he appears to be a petty shell of a man who is only happy when he insults others? And he has a small penis? Hmmmm...it is a mystery, isn't it?

alright alright... let's lay off slushoman... he's had enough... obviously paramount liked him enough to reward him. they're the judges not us.. it's safe to say this thread is done (at least until runner-ups come and brag)
