			<description><![CDATA[Lately it seems like a bunch of my submissions are getting rejected, most recently this:<br />
<br />
http://www.duke.edu/~naf2/misc/multi-meme-death-match.gif'<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, so the possible reasons are:<br />
- Poor design<br />
- Improperly sized thumbnails and designs<br />
- The design has too many colors<br />
- The design has a gradient or halftones<br />
- Submission did not use the templates<br />
- Inappropriate material within the design<br />
- The design is too large to print<br />
- The design contains copyrighted material<br />
<br />
In the submitted version used the templates, 4 colors, no gradients, the right size gifs, and it wasn't too large on the shirt.  Copyrighted Material? Not unless the jack rackham pirate flag is copyrighted.  Inappropriate material: I don't think any of this is really inappropriate ('fight to the death' maybe?)<br />
<br />
this leaves poor design I guess.  Is this really that bad?  Maybe I'm just too close to this to judge it fairly, but it doesn't seem so bad that it's not even worth voting on.  I'd appreciate any insight anyone has.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So I submitted a few designs a little over a week ago and they went through the approval process today I guess.  One of them was approved no problem and I got the two emails saying approved and with links for promotion.  The other design produced more confusing results: I got 3 emails at the same time, the first two were design approved and promotion links emails, but the third was a rejected email for the same design (WTF?) by reason of template.  Considering I used the same threadless template for both submissions and I went back to check and both gifs have the same attributes (and it previewed just fine) I am completely confused.  <br />
<br />
Anyone else ever experienced something like this?  I guess the only thing I can do is resubmit all over again and wait the week for approval?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[After submitting my 'sharks on a train would've been twice as deadly' slogan, I wanted to see if I was the first person to think of such a concept.  Turns out that's a no.  Lots of riffs out there on the snakes on a plane concept, usually proposed as potential sequels or parts of a trilogy.<br />
<br />
Some I ran into:<br />
tigers on a boat<br />
spiders on a bus<br />
and<br />
sharks on a train<br />
<br />
I think the last one is the best and it seems to be one of the more prevalent(20 or so google results) (what with rhyming and the same starting letter as well as rediculousness factor).  It's even a registered domain, though i just get 'problem loading page' when I try to go there.<br />
<br />
Great minds think alike.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So, if I make a design and get a bunch of comments/suggestions of stuff to change, then i change it, is it legitimate to put it up for voting again, or does the fact that the concept is the same preclude that from being a valid outlet?]]></description>
