What People Will Do For A Netbook
February 5th, 2009 by K. T. Bradford 
I’ve seen people produce some really amazing images and video for the web for contests that offer nothing more than kudos from a web community or the chance to get 3 seconds of fame on The Colbert Report. Up the stakes and you don’t necessarily get better quality, but the entrants in Acer’s Want One? video contest are certainly creative and not afraid to make fools of themselves for a free Aspire One (and other cool tech). Though the video below did not win first prize, many of us here at LAPTOP are enchanted with it.
Joanna was particularly moved and, since she isn’t in the office today, we suspect that she’s gone off in search of this man. Godspeed, Joanna! See the other winning videos on Acer’s contest page and check out YouTube for the hundreds of other entries.

It is true. I have gone in search of this man. Sascha please send pictures of you in lederhosen with the Acer Aspire one 10-inch you just scored and I will think about your proposal.
Me want Acer, me want one now!

@Joanna
ok, when i am back in Germany i am gonna set this scenario up, not sure if i can make it public though!
@Zach
your video is just priceless. Forget about getting an Acer netbook or any other fancy price, your video rocks and it will be all over the web. By far the best one in this contest!

Zach you’re a genius. You certainly so deserve a prize. Maybe if you sweet talk Joanna…

@Zach: Congratulations for the funny video. Really surprising you didn’t win.

Hey thanks guys. The contest was all about youtube views/comments/ratings and such, not really about quality. Of course, now that the contest is over I have received thousands of views from all over the world! To be honest, I don’t really care about the prize, its the fact that people like it so much that makes me happy! (cue cheesy “awe” audience noises)

Sh*t. For Acer…
