On Tuesday I blogged about Doritos’ odd, Canada-only video contest called Viralocity. Basically whoever can make their Doritos-naming video go the most viral, wins. Today, a filmmaker name Mark sent me a message. Here’s part of it:
“I created a video for the contest, but with the intention of donating all prize money to cancer and kids charities. Figured I’d rather give the money away than to some yahoo.” (Like the guy currently in first place- Beardy)
“I’m currently #26 out of around 1,200 entries and proud to say I’ve done it without spamming, proxy views or any other ways around the terribly designed scoring system Doritos has created.”
Feel free to check it out and help promote if you want – might be able to scoop some of the prize for a worthy endeavor…

Being #26 out of 1200 is pretty good. Since this is for a good cause I thought I’d increase the video’s viral-ness by posting it here. If you want to help Mark win won of the top prizes, you can start by watching his video below. If you want to really help him, visit the link above and get links to spread the videos on facebook, twitter, etc, etc, etc.
Good luck to Mark. We’ll let you know how he does.

Hey Beardy,
Can’t thank you enough for the extra post on this. Today, I’ve moved up to 22nd place, and while I have pretty much zero chance of catching #1 (since Peter Chao started the contest with over 300,000 YouTube channel subscribers) by March 31st, I’m so happy that my video has spread because of the simple fact people WANT to share it, not because of an existing fans base, spamming the internet or cheating with the scoring system.
Again, a million thanks for taking an interest and helping out.
I’ve been inspired to continue this mission and enter even more of these contests to try and redirect corporate dollars to worthy causes – maybe I might even inspire others to do the same.
All the best – and I’ve subscribed to your feed. Can’t wait to see what other opportunities arise!
Cheers.
