I was wondering when this might filter it's way to this list. Believe me, the fuss is a surprise to many of us. The commercial was up for multiple months before 4-chan got a hold of it to pick on the "girugamesh" kid-spawning some funny parodies-and others our volunteer video coordinator had pulled because of profanity/pornography (not what we like associated with our con eh?). I'd appreciate it if folks would honor our trademarks/copyrights and not distribute those. Professional courtesy and all.

I don't mean you can't discuss it here if you insist-but unlike on the forums of ANN or 4-chan, we are colleagues here too and it's not so friendly to be discussed as if we aren't here.

So if this discussion has to continue now-then it means we'll have to participate-and-we are just insanely stressed and busy right now.

—So totally don't bug them about it!
