Henry Weinhard (owned by Miller) was hosting a video contest, looking for a way to tell people about the Man Henry Weinhard, behind the Henry Weinhard Soda and Henry Weinhard Beers.

This video of me in a speedo talking about debit cards is up as a finalist in a contest for an iPad2. And while I don’t need an iPad2, I would love to own one and to walk around in my speedo on the beaches of Southern California playing Angry Birds and Words with Friends, …
