The Slingbox is a device that lets you watch your home TV, live through the Internet on your cell phone or laptop. We thought it would be interesting to see what stand up comics might have to say about the Slingbox. So, we developed a contest that’s pretty simple: write a bit about the Slingbox, record a video of it, and then post the video here on www.standupandsling.com. Then, we’ll let the public vote on which video is the funniest. read more

The Enter the Battle of the Balls Video Contest is about creating an original, fun video that uses Ping Pong as a theme. The Ping Pong theme can be literal (e.g., as in playing a Ping Pong game on a table) or metaphorical (e.g., people “Ping Ponging” a conversation among each other).
Win a movie walk on role, an HD Video Camera, a Laptop Computer, a Ping-Pong Table and a Year’s supply of Butterfinger®!
Dust off those paddles, don your sweatbands, and get ready for your close-up, all you Ping-Pong fanatics! Butterfinger® and Rogue Pictures announce the “Battle of the Balls” – a new online video contest powered by Jumpcut, a Yahoo! company, to find the most clever and inventive video utilizing a Ping-Pong-based theme and the Butterfinger brand. This national contest (www.followthefinger.com/battleballs/) is being launched in conjunction with the upcoming release of Balls of Fury, the outrageous new movie comedy about extreme Ping-Pong. The winning viral video filmmaker will receive a walk-on role in an upcoming Rogue Pictures production, a year’s supply of Butterfinger candy bars and video production gear to jump-start his/her career in Hollywood!
Participants are encouraged to bring their “A-Game” and keep the content light and humorous while incorporating Butterfinger – the candy bar itself and/or the Butterfinger “Finger” icon – into the irreverent fun of the contest’s Ping-Pong premise. The theme can be literal (e.g., recreating a historic Ping-Pong battle) or metaphorical (e.g., people “Ping-Ponging” a conversation back and forth).
Participants must be 18 years or older to enter the “Battle of the Balls” contest by visiting www.followthefinger.com/battleballs/ and uploading and editing their original Ping-Pong-based video creations from July 10 through August 21, 2007. Judges will then narrow the contest submissions to a group of five finalists and post the top five viral video shorts on www.followthefinger.com. The public will then have the opportunity to view the five top videos from August 28 through September 18, 2007 and vote for their favorite film on www.followthefinger.com, while Balls of Fury (www.ballsoffury.com) opens in theaters nationwide on August 31, 2007. The “Battle of the Balls” grand prize winner will be announced around September 25, 2007. Butterfinger imagery and complete contest rules are available at www.followthefinger.com.
Entry must incorporate Butterfinger® product AND/OR The Finger icon into video entry. The Finger artwork can be accessed through the Jumpcut Editor at Jumpcut.com or downloaded at FollowTheFinger.com.
Entry must include the designated intro and outro videos. You can access the intro and outro videos from the Jumpcut Editor, once you are a member of the Enter the Battle of the Balls contest group on Jumpcut.com or downloaded at FollowTheFinger.com. They will not count toward your 1 minute limit for your entry.
Entry can not incorporate content, characters, themes or references to the movie “Balls of Fury.”
Entry must be in one of the following formats: .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG and may not exceed a file size larger than 100MB or 1 minute in length.
