'Watchmen' Ad Contest Winners

Now with Ozymandias action!

Watchmen director Zack Snyder recently announced the winners of the "Veidt Enterprises Advertising Contest," in which YouTube users submitted commercials promoting fictional products of Veidt Enterprises, the company run by Adrian Veidt (a.k.a.

Is it really pronounced "Ozzy-MAN-dee-es?" I always thought it was "Ozzy-man-DIE-es."
Whichever, that was nostalgic hilarity.
