Engadget commercial contest!

esp. FAO: Dr. Sparkle, GuyJean etc

So fire up iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, After Effects, Final Cut, or whatever the hell it is you peeps use to make your home movies

It's time to get the word out, everybody. Engadget needs a commercial to air during the Super Bowl -- well, not really, but we want you to make a commercial for us anyway. Your reward will be handsome; Sony's kicking down a sick new Vaio with Blu-ray, HDMI, and a 17-inch screen as a reward to the winner.

Here are the rules:
Make the ultimate Engadget commercial
Keep it PG-13 (like the site)
Keep it under 5 minutes long (if you really must go longer, break it up into pieces, like those serialized commercials)
If it's not in English, please include subtitles!
You can enter no more than three different commercials
It has to be your work! You can re-enact some famous commercial or something, but you can't just slap our logo on somebody's else's copyrighted material.
Here's what you win: a Sony Vaio VGN-AR190G Blu-ray laptop (MSRP $3,400) with the following specs:
2GHz Intel Core Duo T2500
Blu-ray drive(!)
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
17-inch WUXGA display (1920 x 1200)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600GT graphics (256MB RAM), HDMI out
200GB SATA RAID 0 drives
ExpressCard/54 slot
PC Card slot
SD / Memory Stick media reader
802.11/a/b/g WiFi, Bluetooth
1394, S-Video, USB 2.0 (3), VGA, S/PDIF, Ethernet, v.92 modem, webcam
XP Media Center 2005, tons of bundled software
House of Flying Daggers on Blu-ray, HDMI to DVI adapter, etc.
Here's how you enter:
Send your clip to contests at engadget dawt com -- it can't be any larger than 10MB due to size limitations of email, but be sure to keep a higher resolution copy for us to show on the site! If it's just too large to send to us, you can put it on YouTube (or another video sharing site) and send us the link -- but we prefer email.
Have yours in by 11:59PM EST, Sunday September 10th
Contest is open to anyone worldwide -- including professionals -- so bring your a-game!

I'd totally go if I was there - you get to play with lots of cool stuff and they give some bits and pieces away too now and then,
hopefully they'll hold one in Dublin in the not to distant future...
