Dry Dreams Online
The Dry Dreams site invites those of legal drinking age to submit their “dry dreams”. If you mate Stupid with Genius their half breed son would be a Dry Dream. The winning Dry Dream will have the right mixture of dumb and awesome. Get it right and Carlton will pay for it to happen for real along with $20,000 cash and $5000 worth of Sony prizes. The site includes the three videos along with behind the scenes revelations for each of the commercials.
