Google wants you to show plug-in hybrids some YouTube love

RechargeIT, the plug-in hybrid publicity program sponsored by Google.org, the search giant's relatively poorly funded do-gooder initiative run by Larry Brilliant, is running a YouTube contest. The company wants anyone who has a plug-in electric hybrid, or wishes they did, to upload a video describing their obsession. The contest isn't official yet, but Earth2Tech found a submission page which doesn't list exactly what you might win by entering. A new car would be nice, but I'm guessing it'll be more along the lines of sitting through a press conference, a free meal at the cafeteria and maybe a test drive.

    I've got it: you intercut clips of former CIA director James Woolsey promoting plug-in hybrids with clips of him all over cable news on September 11, 2001, calling for the invasion of Iraq.

    (Nothing against plug-in hybrids, which seem like a great idea to me.)

    It'll be limited to Americans, you wait and see. Every third car in Vancouver is a prius. Even our taxis are priii.
