To promote W., Oliver Stone’s artistic tribute to America’s favorite President (insert eyeroll here), Lionsgate launched the W. Mashup Contest on YouTube.
Use the clips and audio/video composition tools to create your own trailer. Oliver Stone himself gets to decide which is best.
The problem is, YouTube immediately removes entries upon submission. One entrant says, “all that remains of your genius contest entry is the phrase ‘This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Lionsgate’.”
Here is the hole where an entry should be. (In the event that Lionsgate is smart enough to fix this, here’s a screenshot.)
A complex promotion for a man who, at the very least, was a complex leader. Maybe they’re only suppressing entries by users suspected of storing WMDs.
