Over the year’s I’ve reported on a lot of really bizarre Video Contest News. But this is story is especially weird. You remember , right? It was the Crash the Super Bowl ad that featured a hilariously gigantic dog that bribed a guy with a bag of Doritos. The commercial wound up being ranked the best ad of the Super Bowl by USA Today’s ad meter (the real one, not the bogus online vote one) and so the creator of the spot, Jonathan Friedman, received a million dollar bonus from Fritolay. Friedman is from Virgina Beach and the town decided to pay tribute to his accomplishment by presenting a key to the city to Huff, the great dane from the ad. Yes, the dog is the one that got the key to the city. If that wasn’t strange enough, the mayor’s office actually made a crazy video about the whole thing. I won’t try describing it. Just watch it and be happy that there are still people and politicians in this country that aren’t afraid to get weird once in a while.
