I made this!
This was topical when it was commissioned by a TV channel I'm not allowed to name. Then I made it, then some lawyers dicked around for 2 weeks discussing it and now I'm not getting paid and here it is.

It was because
they thought it was anti-semitic. We tried to explain that yes, at least one of the *characters* is anti-semitic, but their only suggestion was to cut it to make it more racist against black people.

he's clever, he wouldn't completely miss the point.

The irony
Did you point out that their suggestion was, in fact, massively racist and missing the entire point of the cartoon?

I did
but (probably luckily) there is a very diplomatic producer between me and the lawyers, so I'm not sure if the message got passed along.

Why are you not allowed to name them?
Did you sign something to say you agreed not to name them?

I wonder how long it will be before those lawyers send a takedown notice to the Youtubes.
