It's the video that is petty, not the criticisms against it.

I think the video is clever, humorous and well produced but very out of place on a 'family' chess site. Plenty of criticism has already been said here.
http://blog.chess.com/webmaster/1st-master-death-match--video-contest-winner
was a big hoax from the organizer of this contest, he watched onlyheard, sexy sites!
i ask myself if it really wants chess, com?
Next contest theme is porn?
I do not participate ...
Next contest? I will just post my link and web sites just for them to view it. I will not participate in the contest like I did in the previous one.
Next contest could be something about blogs. Blogs which helps other players improving and utilizing chess.com more!
Sex and porn sells well. Chess. Com does not have to miss a business successful.

On and on and on and on and on......
Get over it.
Chess.com is a good site. But I do not recommend it for my grandson. Chess.com must departajeje of obscure sites like pornography and sexuality.
Let's play spot the sore loser.
I feel it, and that I speak:
Chess.com search advertising with any risk
I'm not paying a player
My opinion does not matter to chess.com

Wouldn't it be better for your grandson to play chess at first with his friends, in school or in a club and to play against the computer (Chessmaster 12) first? The internet is a big chaotic place.

Next? About alcohol and chess, do they mix?
Chess, okay but alcohol I don't think so because they don't mix it for me. But I don't know for others if they mix it.
Next contest? Chess and ballroom dancing will do.
chess.com is my lover! lol

I will demonstrate why the winning video is unacceptable.
Imagine the following scenario, and ask yourself why it sounds ridiculous, not funny or shocking.
Imagine that the genders in this video are reversed. It's a woman sitting at the computer, playing chess. Suddenly her boyfriend/husband walks in, only wearing a G-string and boots, and making alluring comments about getting into bed. As he approaches the computer, the woman quickly hides the chess.com website and displays some pornographic video, with the man in a submissive position and the woman dominating the action. The boyfriend/husband then leaves the room, dropping his G-string on the way out. The woman at the computer then smiles, and accepts a rematch instead of going to the bedroom.
If you're honest you'll admit that something isn't quite "right" about this scenario, and that this hypothetical version would NEVER have won the video contest entry. Now ask yourself why?
The answers to these questions demonstrate why this video is unacceptable.
If you still don't get it, think of the messages being conveyed through this video. For example, think of messages about the place of women in the world in general, and in the world of chess more specifically.
I appreciate this very much! Thank you :)
Fake ! fake no one won ? huh ? why ? come on guys someone should be a winner
