I guess we are a little bit invested here as are original artists. I understand short segments and parodys are legal even for commercial use.
BUT this is Google's contest. And Astronaut Jones aside, they can hold applicants to a higher standard. It might even be wise to do that. It would be a shame if differences in sense of parody caused something of great social value to not be considered by the strongest player... With our application, the skit and the 15 second music snips in the software could be discarded. The presentation alone should be enough to place... for this stage. Anyway, all teams experience dissapointment. We'll sit tight. There is still goodness with android.
