• Grab the Camera: Sex Ed Video Contest Deadline Extended to January 7

  We're going to share a little secret: blogging does not make one rich. In fact, we could be considered poor in some circles. We owe lots of people lots of money and ignore a few calls from 1-800-numbers a few times a day. We're not complaining; we love our jobs here at Scanner. But sometimes we need a little extra cash, and this sex education video contest seems like the right road to a new MacBook. With all the knowledge and dildos we have, combined with our complete lack of shame, we feel we're more than qualified to tell these kids what's up in the Fresh Focus: Sex Ed Digital Video Contest. All we need is a camera person and a lovely assistant. Posted Dec 28 2007, 09:22 AM by Emily Farris with | with no comments Filed under: video, being poor, sex education
