so in your opinion, do you think Mother's Day Special could make it past television censors?
As it exists in a already censored state, most certainly on Comedy Central, quite possibly on network broadcast as well.

I would bet yes... considering it's no more visually controversial than the original which did air on network tv albeit late at night. Although now after watching it again I got a kick out of picturing Susan Sarandon playing Bulma.

I apologise if you were upset with my entry, however I did send a newer video that had only participated in a handful of competitions, and keep in mind that half the contetsts the video placed in happened after the Pro deadline. Additionally I wanted to participate as it is one of few contests that would actually allow it to compete.
I wouldn't say I'm upset, I was just pointing a few things out since the topic arose.

I think the contest turned out pretty well with only 6 awards going to videos that were available online before the contest and/or won in other competitions.
