Wrap Party...Cable Commercial Update

Regina</a></a>[info]hd_amazon  and I held the wrap party last week to celebrate the completion of principal photography for my new movie "That's Just Wrong!" and also the 30-second commercial spot for my DVDs which will be running late at night on cable in several cities soon. Many of the cast & crew members showed up, including Little Sebastien</a></a>[info]littlesebastien  who brought Brody</a></a>[info]broddhisatva  with her; Dolores French; Nancy Collins</a></a>[info]heart8  brought Scrapple the Boston Terrier, Jeff</a></a>[info]syntherzukal  and Laura Morris</a></a>[info]cultessalura; Tonya Fowler</a></a>[info]bonnie_bara  who drove down from South Carolina with Richie</a></a>[info]saint_ama ; Herb Henderson</a></a>[info]dept13  from Dept 13 Films, along with numerous other friends and associates. Underground comix guru Skip Williamson arrived with a friend, followed by Gary Hasty</a></a>[info]revhasty  of WeirdAssShit.com, filmmaker Tom Chadouin, and later Jonathan Williams of Prick Magazine and Access Atlanta brought his wife. Before the night was over, Aria</a></a>[info]blissful_kaos  showed up with her friend Craig. I'd made a huge crockpot of chili, and of course there was plenty of other food and booze, etc. A good time was had by all...at least I'm pretty certain of that.

Meanwhile, my 30-second commercial spot was rejected as "offensive" by the Atlanta Comcast standards office...so, a slightly revised version will start first in NYC on March 8th, followed by a week in Los Angeles, then the new version will be re-submitted locally through an agency.

Here are the 2 versions:

The "OFFENSIVE" ORIGINAL VERSION

The "NON-OFFENSIVE" REVISED VERSION

You be the judge...

I don't think it's a matter of actual offensiveness as much as trying to pre-empt the sort of people who freak out about such things. I think a lot more things are edited because of the fear of offending someone rather than actual people expressing outrage. I mean, look at FOX. They were all over Family Guy about "offensive" material while airing other shows that should offend anyone with taste.
