Seems to be pretty bogged down at the moment. I was going to post something in their forums educating them on 'Brother' but after reading some of the threads it would seem that any sort of political commentary of any sort would be totally lost.

A simple 'cease and desist' letter should do the trick. They usually get forwarded immediately to the legal division of any company, and as soon as they see that the piece is protected under the creative commons license it will be pulled. And trust me, they have a legal division (they wouldn't get carried by cable/satellite providers if they didn't). Here are some links to forms you can customize: http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/contract/cease.htm and, http://www.megadox.com/docdetail.php/6572 And do be sure and send it via registered mail, that will get their attention as well.

I also enjoy how they insult great animated shorts that can be found over at Archives.org. I've watched plenty of anime and I would rather sit through a marathon of shorts from the 40's and 50's rather than a bunch of robots and exposions. Anyone remember the Dragon Ball series? Stock footage, dialog, long pause, rinse and repeat for a half hour. I just don’t know how the anime station missed that “Brother” was a modern creation about the Bush admin.

This is a lame bit by the Anime Channel. It's unnecessary to pit anime vs cartoons, as both are legit art forms. Given their criteria, the original anime classic Gigantor would be a "cartoon."
