After a battle that began with the unauthorized uploading of the "Lazy Sunday" skit from Saturday Night Live, NBC and YouTube have become more friendly. The network is now using the community video site to show promos of their shows, and just recently they teamed up for a contest which asks viewers to create a twenty-second promo for The Office. You can check out all the rules and whatnot here. One of those rules, by the way, is that you can't use any actual footage from the show when you make your video. They do provide some graphics, though. Winning entries will be shown this summer during The Office, while other eligible videos will be shown on both YouTube and NBC.com. The contest deadline is July 21.YouTube and NBC team up for The Office contest
