[Disneyfalcon]

Andy I am just shocked! I am so sorry for you guys!!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

I am honestly at a loss for words here.....

I was so invested in you guys that I feel like I just lost AGAIN!!!

I really thought "we" would have gotten to the Top 10!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Harsh post. I can't believe you'd doubt that I'm a minister even. www.radiatechurch.com if you want to see for yourself. I know a lot of people, some are with sponsors, some are with newspapers, some are contestants etc... I've never claimed that I wasn't in contact with sponsors or anyone else either. Ask last year's contestants how much dirt I was able to dig up. This is info that was passed along to me. I'm not Brady, I believe you've seen each of our videos. I knew for a fact that all finalists will be contacted TODAY, has it happened?

To quote.....well......YOU: I DON'T BUY IT!!!!

How do you "claim" to not be in contact with the "sponsors" and know so darn much???!!!

Brady McDonald is the only "source" you can have if you source isn't the "sponsor."

And WHY would they be telling HIM so very much anyway?

And, as far as you clearing up the known unknown, you have left us all still very much unknowing!!!

The info regarding the packages....I don't think you would have revealed that if you didn't KNOW it to be true. That would just be cruel!

I respect that you are not revealing you sources, that makes me trust you even more.....but the whole 'no sponsor' connection and knowing what you know about all of the unknown is highly suspect!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................................Minister, right? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................I am going to believe you! But THAT means your source must be BRADY??? Hey, maybe YOU are Brady??!!

Glad you had a great time yesterday!!!

FTC: Excuse me.... hello? Is this thing on?

{loud feedback screech}
FTC: Yow! Ok, I guess that will wake everyone up.

First off I understand that there has been some sad news going around the DIScademy committee today... Our hearts go out to those that are experiencing especially difficult times today. We're here for you if you need us.

{solemn murmurings amongst the crowd}

But the show must go on.

{applause}

I'm honored that the DIScademy (and the Chairman in particular) has allowed me to make some special presentations... unfortunately I don't have any fancy certificates for you, so you'll have to be content with this simple recognition.

First, I'd like to recognize a video that some said couldn't be made (and other's said shouldn't have been made). I'm referring to a video that was made without the assistance of a single piece of office furniture in a supporting role. A true, one man show...

{applause}

Next, I'd like to acknowledge a category that, while often overlooked, never the less faced some extreme competition this year. I am of course talking about the best Mario Lopez look alike. In my mind, this video exemplifies the best of what this category has to offer:

http://www.dreamcmo.com/view-dream-cmo-applicant.php?CMODID=CMO-9E867FDA7EEFBBFAC42723DA0562D23F

{applause}

It's also important that we acknowledge the true pioneers in our field. Those that aren't afraid to experiment with new techniques. So,without further ado, for the most advanced use of extreme audio amplification (you've been warned), I give you:

{after audience unplugs ears... applause}

Finally, a category that is near and dear to my heart. Voted on solely by those who proudly call themselves Haunted Mansion Butlers and Maids, in recognition of general coolness (and trust me, we know cool) ...

{audience nods heads collectively in acknowledgement}

the best (and coolest) Haunted Mansion themed video of 2008:

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest of the festivities.

I'm with HMF! The news surprised me, too... (Especially since you've continuously proved in this thread how well you can spread a little magic...)

The truth is that I had the chance to prove my qualifications to Disney and Careerbuilder with my video and my interview. I didn't get that across, so its on me! The contest was built in reverse order of my strengths.... video making, then marketing, then entertaining... but it wasn't up to them to make that connection... it was up to me to prove it to them and I fell short.

Once I saw all 20 videos, I knew I was at least on the bubble if not out entirely. Andy not making it shocks me. (Although he only hinted at it... didn't officially say it) I hope that some of the other folks that have visited here make it. If they have... perhaps they are lurking! GOOD LUCK GUYS!

SOOOO NOT MEANT TO BE HARSH!!!

Sorry Kenny, I left my funny out of that I guess. In my mind it was there though, I promise!

Oops, LOVING Kenny, sorry if it came off any other way! Honestly.

 

[kennythepirate]

I agree, and darn it, he is quite likeable as well!

So the whole "sponsor" "insert name here" "mustn't give credit till they cough up a trip" is bogus??

Is KENNY THE PIRATE the brains behind it all?

Think back to your interview.....then watch his video......you are in broadcasting........did the voices sound similar??

Have you received a "package" yet Trippy?

Recent and past history does reveal that they apparently like the process of elimination thing -- backwards elimination -- as Kenny stated (and then mentioned how the "sponsors" haven't outsmarted him)!!

Again, hmmmmmmmm.............

Man, I'm digging this whole conspiracy theory stuff! I feel like I should be a character on LOST. Oh, I could be the Captain of the Black Rock!!!

 

[kennythepirate]

No, it wasn't Kenny who interviewed me... It was Heath (aside: What up Heath? I know your lurking!!!! ) And I wouldn't say the [sponsor] thing is bogus. He was just having a little creative fun. Inquiring minds want to know. Kenny, like the rest of us, wants to know the identities of the Top 10... It's human nature.

I had such a blast last year that I'm looking forward to seeing how it's unveiling. But don't forget the pirate does have an angle for tomorrow night!

FTC: Excuse me.... hello? Is this thing on?

Nice awards!!!

I'll make you some certificates when I get home tonight.

 

[kennythepirate]

Ok. Justice has been served. I'll call off the Penn. But now what am I going to do with all these protest signs? Oh well, I got them at a steal from a bunch of Hollywood writers...

Oh that reminds me... I better call Lara Spencer and let her and Donny know that they don't need to come down to cover the little side event we had planned. They can focus on the red carpet festivities as planned.

Thanks fleagle for restoring my faith in the DIScademy and for doing the right thing.

Let's use them to protest the SPONSORS so BOTH of us can get a FREE TRIP!

 

[kennythepirate]

For those anxiously waiting, did the original paperwork come by Fed-ex? There could be a tricky way to find out if something is coming for you if you previously received a package from the Sponsors. Of course, you would have needed to save the original packaging, too.

You need to find the account number that they used to ship. You can then use the Track by Reference function at Fedex.com to see if anything is on its way to your zip code.

It's a long shot...

Mine came via UPS last year.

Whew.........please tell me the funny came through on THAT post then????

Writing is tough. You can't hear tone. Sarcasm just doesn't read well I guess.

I never for a second doubted that you are a Minister, in fact I wrote the day before how lucky those kids were to be spending time with you.

I apologize if I in any way offended you.

 

[kennythepirate]

Okay I have laughed so hard this morning reading everything on here I think I pulled some muscles! Everyone has been doing such a great job with the nominations and Ursula's song was spectacular. I can't wait to see all the winners.

But Kenny is a minister you say? I think he might have an inside source then... Kenny, is God telling you these things?

NO

 

[fleagle]

If anyone hasn't gotten a package/call/email yet, then it is probably a good sign. I'm sure the "thanks for playing" emails went out at the same moment. So, no email = good news.

 

[kennythepirate]

C'mon Camp DLH bunk buddy! You doubted me? I would never put out info that I didn't have some corroboration. I was told that the 10 weren't supposed to reveal that they are in, so I asked for those who didn't hear. THE SPONSORS informed me this afternoon that they sent an email to the contestants today. If they turn freakishly silent ALL DAY after commenting a lot, they are IN.

I'm in shock. First that Kenny was right. And then to see that some of my favorites won't be advancing.

Well, good job everyone. Congratulations to those that did make it to the wonderous 10 (and that would be who?) and a well deserved pat on the back to those that made it to the group of 20 (20 out of 1300 is pretty amazing). In fact kudos (again) to everyone who took a chance and entered the contest.

Now I need to go practice my role as a seat saver at the big award ceremony...

 

[kennythepirate]

Well said Ann, I'm sorry to hear that you guys didn't make it further. You've been awesome fun to have here, please stick around!

My heart is breaking for all of you!!! Most sincerely!

Especially you Fleagle (our Scarecrow) (we don't HAVE to keep ALL of our references Disney now, right?).

I have analyzed this all to death! I just don't get it. I call Shenanigans --- Come on Haunted!

It IS shenanigans!

We are still having fun though, go ahead and watch some of the Tech gone awry awards!

Sure, I may have vowed not to laugh AT anyone, but I am just ready to, you know?!

I know you all have perspective and that relative to what is going on in the world this is teeny tiny.....but it still stings. They really need to revamp the whole process for another contest. I mean NOTHING but a hearty handshake for entering?!

 

[kennythepirate]

Where Is Our Pirate When We Need Him??!!

I'm having to suffer throught the reverse announcements with you guys. I don't have a 10 list and haven't been able to acquire one, doesn't mean I'm gonna give up. I was out working a real job all day, pulling cable tv and phone lines on new home construction.

 

[kennythepirate]

Okie dokie all is love here!

SOOOO NOT MEANT TO BE HARSH!!!

Sorry Kenny, I left my funny out of that I guess. In my mind it was there though, I promise!

Oops, LOVING Kenny, sorry if it came off any other way! Honestly.

 

[kennythepirate]

No offense Ann. We all one big happy

[DSNY4ever]

I am floored! I leave for a while to get some work done and I come back to this! I can't believe you guys didn't make it. I am very curious to see the top ten because I honestly have to say that I only cared for about half of the top 20 videos and if it is the half that I didn't care for as much then...

Is this a Leap Day joke? You know guys Leap day is not the same as April Fools!

Thank you for making me laugh again FirstTimeCaller! I feel for you guys that didn't make it. I ate mickey pancakes the day I didn't get the call. It didn't help, but I do like pancakes. I guess I will send out my votes for the Discademy awards now.
