You got 15 seconds to tell me a story... 

Our ReelPop buddy Steve Bryant just showed me the CBS/YouTube contest that gives viewers 15 seconds to tell the world anything. The winning video entry will be shown during the Superbowl, which Steve rightly calls "America's only remaining pan-demographic media event."

With our recent focus on flash fiction, we should all be really, really good at this. If you had 15 seconds to tell the world a story, what story would you tell them? Hone your flash fiction skills and jump in the contest!

"Browsing through the 140 entries thus far, it's hard to suppress a chuckle. There's this guy, doing a fabulous Tara Reid New Year's countdown impersonation. And this guy, who looks like both the Pope and Abraham Lincoln. I'm a big fan of this Street Fighter parody."
