content: If Dave could come up with a drawing that would get a lot of views and make him some money, he might be inclined to have more drawings. It would be a win win. The manufacture would get publicity and also Dave, so maybe more of them.So we need ideas for a popular video that would appeal to the general population.In the latest drawing there is under 700 entrants (I do not know the exact number).If a "0" cannot be used then 0-99 could be changed to 700-799Just to start -There is a YT video on "cute bunny race" that has millions of views. If animals were used, 10 animals could do 3 races. Maybe kangaroos. Maybe snails (long video). Cat race, I think cat videos are popular. BUT it would be hard to deal with 10 of any animal, so he would need help.Explosions, noise, fire, smoke might be interesting. But it has to appeal to the general public. I do not think blowing up a cap would be interesting for the general public.How about get 10 pretty women in bikinis and have them mud wrestle in three contests.Here are the top 7 YT searches in 2014Music (236 Million)Minecraft (44.3 Million)Movies (17 Million)Drake (12.2 Million)Beyonce (13 Million)Frozen (11.7 Million)Happy (58.7 Million)So use music, make a video (but call it a movie), take a scene from Minecraft, say you are happy, and race 700 rats across ice and the winner would be the last one that does not get frozen. Say Beyonce and Drake do not like you.Work in a kissing contesthttp://www.fastcompany.com/3046271/fast-feed/youtube-viewers-really-want-to-learn-how-to-kissWould Dave be willing to kiss a pig? And time how many seconds he would get the pigs attention(I would watch this video) (ps I like pigs and I would be willing to do this as long it is a pet pig - I understand they have a mean bite) Can you imagine what kind of a CL ad that would be : "wanted to rent - pig - so I can kiss it"There are videos on kissing pigsso now it is your time to come up with something -->

content: Print the numbers on a grid on sheet of paper in a random order. Have Dave shoot it from a sniper rifle.Build a custom random number generator with old-school counters and decoders. Use radiation counter as a input signal.

content: Have you ever seen an episode of "Takeshi’s Castle"? Let the interested contenders all show up and have them fight for the prize. Now, that would be some serious fun to watch

content: Quote from: Augustus on March 24, 2016, 07:10:59 pmI would go for this but I know I would be first one out. But it would be fun for us if we knew our "number" in the "drawing", especially if a race.What about a rubber duck race. They always go over well. But I do not know how much 700 would cost, maybe they can be rented.

content: Write out all of the names on pieces of paper and spread the papers over the floor. Place Huxley in the middle of them and the first piece he picks up and puts in his mouth is the winner.

content: Cow Chip Bingo. Can use the animal of your choice (I know thathas been done, and takes a lot less space). I suppose Rabbit Fucking Bingo would work, too...
