Yesterday Kenmore announced the winners of their “Crazy Cleaning Confessions” video contest. Entrants were supposed to make a video that showed a wacky example of what they’ve done in the past to get their clothes or dishes clean. The top 3 prizes were all “high-efficiency” washers, dryers or dishwashers. Here’s the vid that snagged the Grand Prize:

Grand Prize. Prize: Washer and Dryer set

I think the most entertaining aspect of that video is that the two little boys were totally not into the whole thing. At one point the dad is trying to get them to take a bath in some clothes (so he can wash the kids and the clothes at the same time of course) and clearly the kids just want to GTFO of the tub and take off those sopping wet clothes as soon as possible. Hope the parents who made that video at least took those kids to Great America or something as thanks for winning them a free washer and dryer. Now, check out the second place (technically “first place”) winner.

First Place. Prize: Washer Set

This video is good for several reasons. For one, the “crazy confession” the lady gives is actually not a bad tip. Second, of all the talking-into-the-camera video contest entries I’ve seen, this is one of the best. She speaks very naturally and isn’t all nervous and phony. But the best thing about this video is that it shows you what Sarah Palin would be doing is she never ran for Governor of Alaska. Seriously! Watch that video and just picture Sarah Palin, Hockey Mom and former sports anchor from Wasilla making a video like that. Man….any video contest that makes you contemplate the possibilities of alternate realities is a pretty successful one I guess. Way to blow my mind, Kenmore.
