Gonna fire off a comedy and upbeat as soon as I make one the proper AR. Hopefully my friend will go to the AMV contest, haha.

LAST MINUTE SUBMISSIONS GO!

Just finished my new AMV for AMA this morning. (And to think, I've got another AMV for Otakon that I'm still working on.)

Cleared with 6 hours left.

All of you ambitious enough to be prompt, that's a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Hey.
Meant to tell you sooner about this.
I showed some of my staff members "What What."
They were all kinda leery about it so I asked our con chair.
He'd seen the video before I asked and said it's a "no go because this is a more 'family friendly' convention with kids and parents together."
I wanted to make sure we weren't going to cross any lines and it's a good thing I did.
Don't get me wrong...this is a really good video.
Send this for the NSFW contest at Katsucon for sure.
It's just not right for AMA.
My apologies.
Your other video is still there though...

It's not too extreme - not in the least - and I'd appreciate if this blatant homophobia bullshit were not hidden in a PM but replied to in the thread itself. Let the rest of the people submitting know where things stand so they can make up their minds over whether or not they want to support such nonsense or not.

I thought i'd give you guys one last chance, and you fucked up. I'm done. I'm withdrawing my other entry as well. Take your damn con and choke on it.

[Squancho]

Yo yo YO!
WTF?
It was the decision of the con chair in the end.
And homophobia has nothing to do with it.
Extreme is in the eye of the beholder.
Please tell me how a song repeatedly asking "You wanna do it in my butt?" and more than subtly implying instances of anal sex doesn't cross the PG line?
I sent the message as a PM out of respect for the rest of the forum because we don't need unwarranted drama here.
You decided to take your knee-jerk reaction out on us anyway.
Each convention has its own standards regarding what will play in front of a GENERAL audience where there are likely PARENTS bringing their CHILDREN.
I promise you there will be many a show that, were they to play this (regardless the likely majority reaction), parents and probably a good number of regular viewers would wonder how this got clearance and file complaints against the convention as a whole.
That's the kind of drama we really don't want.

But if it pleases you, I'll leave it up to the forum to decide if your entry adheres to a more "family friendly" standard.

Title: "Service Entrance in the Rear"
Anime: Ouran High School Host Club
Audio: Samwell - "What What (in the Butt)"

Our con chair is Ed Fortner.
You can speak with him further about the decision.

So you're basically saying that Anime Boston and Anime Central, cons much bigger (and I suppose better) than yours, are less child-friendly? Is that what you're saying? Because that seems to be what you're saying. And I'm sure those con's respective staffers would have an opinion on this.

Hell, next I suppose you'll be saying that AMA is more patriotic than more "liberal" conventions that aren't in "Real America" and that's why they have to censor AMVs that don't actually show any offensive content.

Methinks you either didn't watch the video in question or don't understand what constitutes a PG standard.
Either way, you took this statement way out of context.
