This looks like fun. Doritos is partnering with Yahoo to give you the change to win prices and big bucks by creating your own commercial that will be played during the Super Bowl. That might be a nice way to promote your career, eh? Here's the deal. Think of an idea for a DORITOS commercial. Maybe it's a story about the first time you tried DORITOS or what life is like for the spices on the surface of the chip. Anything. Make the video you'd be excited to see if you were watching TV. Make it yours. Shoot it. Submit it. If the judges place it in the top five best videos, you'll win $10,000 dollars and a trip to Miami for a private Super Bowl XLI viewing party. Then, if America votes it their favorite, your video will be aired as a real DORITOS commercial on Super Bowl XLI.
Get started.

Yahoo to launch Web site devoted to food - With online competition for eyeballs intensifying, Web portal Yahoo Inc. is launching a new site devoted to food that will feature videos and other content from celebrity chefs such as Rachael Ray and Martha Stewart.

Most of the content will come from partners, including Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Wolfgang Puck, Everyday with Rachael Ray, Food & Wine, Epicurious, Cook's Illustrated and Reader's Digest.There will also be original content, including an online video show called "Cheap and Easy" and contributions on regional cuisine from 13 columnists from around the country. A database of thousands of recipes will be available through a partnership with allrecipes.com. The idea for the site came from the 1.5 million food-related searches on the site each day, most of which come around 4 p.m., Brown said.

Yahoo Food aims to hold people's attention after they have found a recipe by offering cooking demonstration videos and lavish photography and layout that Brown refers to as "food pornography."
