It's too bad that someone feels that there has to be a rule to single out videos or music choices. I feel it's rather a bit insulting. I realize they don't want the to show the same band all to DBZ videos (or combinations there of, but what a stupid way of going about it. Honestly, if that's all they feel they will get then why do they bother in the first place? Secondly, if they do get an over excessive amount, the can choose the ones they show anyway to get more variety!! And what about the real good DBZ vides (and there are some good ones at that)!

I see this as an insult to most of use here since it takes a prejudice type of approach. I realize this is the intent of the organizers (At least I sure hope not), but this is not the way to deal with it!

I sure won't be sending anything to them... If I did have a DBZ video though, I WOULD send those in to prove a point....

If the coordinators are even listening, maybe it's time to think things over....

Maybe that's what's needed, we all send in anything to with Linkin Park and DBZ. Otherwise, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of "providing" videos to them...

I just checked their forums a couple hours ago, and someone dumped them a link to this thread, hopefully that will get something done, or at least pondered.

Go to this thread to tell them What you think of their rules.

I'm sorry if my "suggestions" have been taken as actual rules for the contest. The numbered idems are however not the actual rules but my "tongue in cheek" tips for making videos. If you make a good vid to DBZ with a Linkin Park song, there is no way I'm going to throw it out.

You do know that FUNimation productions (Who has the DBZ license in the USA) will be attending Ushicon because they operate in Texas (Pretty close to Austin) right?

One of the voice actors from DB/DBZ is gonna be a guest there.

I assume that Texas has a very large DBZ fanbase as well.

Oh I'd also like to address the time limit as well. All of the actual rules are actually quite loose. I'll probably take most everything that comes my way and show it. For scheduling purposes I put that time restriction on there and so I could throw out any freakn long ones that just go on (come on I know you've seen them). The 5 minute limit was actually writen in the form of a joke. You guys are taking this too seriously... it's not a contest but a showcase. I'll going to go out of my way to make sure everyone is shown.

Thanks for clearing things up. I figured as much with the rules, but like anything in print, you got to be carefull since jokes or things made unclear can be taken many different ways... I would really hate for you to have someone steaming mad at you for it that all...
