I was pm'd a message from youtube by some guy who wanted me to join a contest.

here is the pm, directly quoted.



Hi,

Would you be interested in winning £10,000 for showing cool pen spinning tricks on video? Yeah, that does sound like a stupid question. Well, Bylcreem have set-up a myspace based competition, giving those who can effortlessly execute a trick, the chance not only to win a great amount of money but also star in their next hair styling advert. However, 2nd place gets £5000 and 3rd place gets £2000 so you won't be totally losing out if you are a runner up. So go on, take a chance - entry is FREE.

Visit http://www.myspace.com/beffortless to become a star!

And a few of the rules that you should take note of:

1. The featured artiste of the Video must be aged 18 or over.
2. The featured artiste of the Video must be male.
3. Featured artistes or directors must have a MySpace page.
4. The Video must be an original work

Good luck!




Seems interesting. Site seems real enough. I'm not 18, im not european and i don't have myspace.

But one of you here has bound to fit those criteria.

hmm... ten thousand euro...that's alot of chedda, riiight?

If you guys want to pass this to any other European forums, credit me, or directly quote me. Thanks.



EDIT- LULZ EDIT LULZ

yes but it's not limited to PSers... you will have to fight with other "impressive" tricks out there.

BTW it's OPPORTUNITY.

ooo theres a guy doing contact juggling.
but he sucks. im three months in and i can do all those tricks. and better too.

Bastards.

Yes, I'm 18 and have pen spinning and drumstick spinning videos!!! BUT I JUST DELETED MY MYSPACE ACCOUNT!!!

eriror: fake id, anyone would believe it.

I wanna be European....and 18....and good at psing...

Oh, Shit I really wanna win now. I should make a new video and use some myspace music with permission, I think I might have a great chance.

GO JORY GO. :D


EDIT-

Theres no rule saying you have to be from europe...actually.. so you actually have a very good chance.

I don't really get it... What are you supposed to do? Just submit a psing clip?

Eriror, you can pass off as 18. Trust me. B)

Boo-hoo.

time to start practicing some european accent..and break out the fake ids...

what would you do with 10,000 euro anyway?

buy 10,000 HGG?

Money for college etc.

Very interesting...

Hi2u

...welcome back?

Just like Eriror said, I would use it to pay for college, and maybe something special.

Get a scholarship.

Agreed, you look over 18 they wouldn't know. You'd own.
I'm still 5 years away.

theres no friggin way they'd give away 10 THOUSAND Euros without doin their homework.


sorry, fakin it wont work.

Wow, i wish i was 18, and better at Psing... <_<

Just imagine what you can buy with all that euro. LIke at least 5 boxes of pens or so. I dunno. I like the opportunity. You 18 year olds dont let this slip away!

When you say this, you seriously have no idea what kind of useful things you can do with that amount of money. =/

In Sweden going to college is free :D Though you need money for food, books & rent while you're there :o And well, 10k euros is a lot. Would be very usefull :o Too bad I've got another year left till I'm 18 >:(

Shame, never been on Myspace...And a lot retarded compared to other european spinners...Good luck to those who'll try it...

EDIT : 10 000 pounds is about €14 755...o_O...

I'm soon 21 and have a myspace page...

mmh why not...

HAHAHA
ignorance is bliss man
im here shelling out 49k a year for college

*has sent his video from the last round of WT*

seems really effortful to me but well it's just for fun

Yea.... dude, I'll just get a scholarship to cover all 20k multiplied by four years and than 50k+ multiplied by three years in pharmacy school.

:iLulz:

stay on topic please.

hey, to anyone who is submitting

TRy to edit your videos, make them have music, cool transitions, (like some slow mo, etc.), sort of like kams superhandz video.

Many of the videos that are being submitted look over 1 minute long, and are edited with music, effects, etc.

Sending in a plain clip seems...primitive.

btw, how much US is 10 000 euro? ;)

youre doing pharm? ive got a bunch of friends goin to rutgers for their lik 6 year pharm program.

eh i got 20k a yr from northwestern for financial aid since they are a rich school. lol
but too lazy to apply for any scholarships

Well last time i heard form my german teachers the exchange rate was like 1.40$ to 1 euro but thats to american dollars and I'm not sure how accurate that is

wheres leviathan?

:pullhair: i wish i was 18 and better at psing although being honest i dont think they'd be able to tell the difference between a good and a bad pen spinner. good luck frat and fitzgerald i hope one of you wins.

10000 euro in US dollars

It's 10 000 pounds, so maybe about $20 000 US.

HEY FRAT.! Look at the front page of the be effortless myspace page, your on like the top eight videos now!
