I like to cry like a little girl

A sure sign that online video is really taking off and making an impact on companies is how so many of them are having video contests now on the internet.  One company who’s really trying to get the YouTube community on board is Big Skinny Wallet.  They actually had a booth at VidCon and subsequently offered a contest to YouTubers to create a video about their product in order to win one of two cash prizes.  I’m often discouraged from entering video contests because the competition can be insane now that so many people can easily make videos, but since this one was pretty much only for people who they met at VidCon the odds were very good of winning a prize if I put out something unique (almost all of the others are just people briefly talking about the wallets).

Check out my entry below, which is a parody of a viral video, which I so often like to do.  The last time I entered a competition I spoofed a video of a girl crying over Justin Bieber and it got me just under 30,000 views and subsequently a cash prize of $100.  This time I decided to take the same sort of route and go with spoofing a video of a girl crying over mean comments she was getting on YouTube (although it’s really more about her crazy Dad freaking out about it).

Here’s the original:

And here’s mine:

As usual, if you’d take a moment to share my video on Facebook and/or Twitter I’d really appreciate it because the first prize is simply for the most viewed entry.  The second place is for most creative.
