They Removed my video
here I read up on them a little on Wikipedia, them owning the rights to some shows, and channels, and Comedy Central was one of them. But I see all these other South park videos all the time on there, but yet, mine gets picked out.. and it was only like 11 seconds long!

The thing is that Viacom ultimately owns the viewing rights to whatever it was you sent up and they do not make a dime off of it. Worse yet, if someone sees it and finds it disagreeable or figures that they have seen the best part of whatever episode and looses interest then you just cost Viacom $20 for loosing the potential sale of a South Park DVD and the starving writers won't get their share of it either! At least, that is their thinking...
My thinking is that They (Media Companies )like to pick on Americans because (They can) we have laws and starving lawyers here.
I am not saying it is right or wrong. Is it a little extreme for an 11 second video? Yea I think so.
In the end what does Viacom really loose? Nothing at all really. Maybe a loyal fan?
The show must go on!

Lawyers aren't starving.
They are like pytyhons or cammels. They go a while before they eat again.

The mod is god. There are rules in place for the proper use of expletives.

Where do you live? US? Go up to a cop and cuss in his face and see what happens. Excessive cussing is against the rules. If your gona cuss use ** or some other form to disguise it. So yea, quit.

Hey Advent... Try uploading the file without naming it "Cripple Fight". Search engines find things by keywords, so if you dont have anything in your title explaining that it has to do with a scene or a show then it makes it that much harder to find. Worth a shot right.
Just name it Custom Gameboot or something like that.
