Just for the record, even though it probably looks like someone from the Butterfinger left the comment from “DouchePumper” it actually came from a filmmaker named Justin Spence. Justin was upset that this website recently pointed out that he plagiarized the work of another video contester in the ForRent.com competition. I can understand why he might want to take an anonymous swipe at “Beardy” but it was really uncool of him to post that comment here. By doing so he made it seem like one of the four butterfinger finalists said all that bitter, angry and frankly dumb stuff.

Wow. Talk about someone who is bitter about being fat and having a small ding-dong. You think anyone really wants to listen to some fat, red-bearded turd ramble on about how disgruntled he is over video contests? They don’t. Loser.

Get a life and get a job, you lazy f—. And, better yet, why don’t you make your own videos and actually compete in these contests. Then someone might actually care about what you have to say. Until then, have fun watching your website float off into the ether of Internet sites never visited.

It’s always the fat guys with little ding-dongs who start sites like this. Like Harry Knowles.

i have been on the periphery of video contests for two years now, entered a few, and won one. i generally do not even like to enter any contests that have anything to do with “voting” due to exactly what you described… it is way to open for “shenanigans”. once voting is introduced in the process, talent and quality take a back seat and it becomes nothing more than a popularity contest (lol, just like high school). great newsletter by the way! i am enjoying it immensely!
