I wish there’d been some easter egg that told us it was a Watchmen ad. I didn’t see one. Or just a Watchmen logo in the last second, with maybe the smiley as well.
First.

ummm… Nostalgia and the Veidt brand are such prominent features in the series, it’d be redundant to tag it as Watchmen related…
Just my $.02…

As much fun as some of the entries can be (and as talented as some home video creators are) - am I the only sick of these BIG corporations getting US to do their work for them?
Same thing with Super Bowl ads - it’s like the super mega billionaire advertising companies are out of ideas and figure “hey - let’s get the geeks living in mommy’s basement to do it for this shiny nickle”. (yes that’s a broad generalization - but it’s it just fits too damn well).

Jerry Steinhelepr, are you living in the last century of what?! If anything, this is just a better way for any budding filmmaker to get his work out to the public. Ergo, you are the ONLY ONE sick of these BIG corporations getting US to do their work for them.

Hey, uh, you know this is pretty much a contest right? For advertising purposes? It’s like saying
“Why does kellogs need me to collect box tops for them? Why not just give me the x-ray specs? Like they just got lazy and needs me to do their box-top collecting job for them!! HOW DARE THEY!!”

…errrr
I like this idea; as a fan I want to help shape how this is presented
