The Poles Are in -- $10K Winner of Darejunkies.com Challenge Steals the Video Scene With New York Subway Girls Gone Wild

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 20, 2007 -- New video challenge social networking site DareJunkies.com today announced the winner of their month-long dare challenge, rewarding participant "isismasoud" a $10,000 prize. The winning video, titled "Pole-ite" Girls, received 350 votes and features four girls pole-dancing on the subways in New York City.

The outrageous three-minute clip, here (http://www.darejunkies.com/isismasoud) captures the girls' escapade on the transit system as they strip down to figure-hugging ensembles and perform various dance maneuvers and acrobatics using the poles and bars in the subway cars. The performers, all of whom are long-time students of dance, elicit an array of reactions from fellow commuters -- from awe to disgust to delight.

"I am thrilled at how much buzz was generated from this video -- this was a dare that my friends and I just had to do and I'm quite proud of the end product," said winner Isis Masoud, user name "isismasoud." "We are beyond excited, and a little bit shocked, that we walked away with the grand prize."

"This is exactly the kind of content that we were hoping to see from our challenges. With the abundance of raw talent that is out there, we are only providing a means for them to share their end products. The dares and the content will only get better from here," said Ben Bacal, CEO and co-founder of DareJunkies.com.

DareJunkies.com, a user-generated video site, encourages users to select from a list of challenges written by comedy writers. These "scripts" provide the impetus for users' creative submission. Users can also post their own creative challenges for pending approval from the DareJunkies team and then send their challenges to friends and other members of the community. At the end of every month, the top ten videos split a cash prize that begins at $10,000, increasing monthly. DareJunkies.com sets itself apart from the crowd because it gives aspiring content makers, filmmakers, actors and anyone with a camera and a dream, the opportunity to shoot a video with a purpose, showcase their work and win cash.
