Competition fairness and a cheeky request....

I've entered a competition on youtube to win an iphone... the aim of the game is to get the highest number of points based on comments multiplied by the views.
Now thinking about it after already entering, surely this does not reflect thr quality of the videos at all and is just a popularity contest between contestants? Those with bigger profile accounts achieve much higher hit rates and thus are in a better position to win?
Good advertising for the company I'll grant them that!
Thoughts on this?
Aaaand so if I could be so cheeky.... could you also help me win by commenting on my entry? Unfortunately I am not one of the lucky popular youtubers out there but I'm going to try my hardest to win this thing regardless!!

It's a great video. Everyone should go and look.
And where on Earth did you get that music?!

Hehe
The music is by Kevin MacLeod.... he does royalty free music, some of it is a bit cheesy but some of it is really rather good....

The track I used is called 'Scheming Weasel (faster version)'

So no other takers?
Not even in response to the question of fairness?
Ah go on!
