Written on Friday, shot on Saturday, cut on Sunday, and submitted on Monday. If I only knew about this contest sooner.

So I get an e-mail yesterday and it says this:

Dear Person Deemed the Entrant,

We must regretfully inform you that your commercial submission to the Heinz Top This TV Challenge has been rejected because you did one or more things that our lawyers said you couldn’t do. They’re listed in the Official Rules. But here are the no-nos we see most:

• The commercial isn’t 30 seconds, and nothing ticks off the TV network guys like an ad that’s too long or too short.

• The commercial contains “copyrighted material”—stuff like music or video that somebody else created and/or owns.

• The commercial contains inappropriate content that your mother may not like and we can’t show on TV.

• The commercial contains another company’s name, trademark or logo.


But, hey, the sun will still come up tomorrow. Life and reality TV will go on. And you can always try again. At least, through August 6th.

Sincerely,
Heinz Top This Bearer of Bad News

I liked it. Is the Heinz contest youtube page having troubles for you? I can only get to entry 2530 or something like that and I'm not sure if I was supposed to get an email confirmation about my entry. Do you know?
 
Yeah John, I can only see up to entry 2328. I think it is just taking a while to approve all of the last minute entries, I hope. That was pretty good kfrogg; good luck to all the entries out there.
 
that's pretty good considering your time restraints, but i definitely would have recommended a hamburger/cheeseburger over a hotdog.

There's just something about the way he eats it...
