Maybe they fixed it?

Just to let you know, we had exactly the same issue with pandipanda (firefox4 required):

It didn’t make it to the gallery, and we don’t know why :(

Problems always occur when people use the word `open’ as a moral position, but without any clear context giving meaning to that word means. For example Steve Jobs arguing with google about who is the more `open’, easy to argue your ground when you don’t ever say what the marker is.

Here according to the rules, the`open web’ doesn’t mean free/open source, doesn’t mean free/open data, free/open API or free/open tech. It just means using some API that uses HTTP and has some kind of spec you can read under whatever conditions are imposed. There’s not a lot to love there.

It also doesn’t mean free/open competition, or free/open discussion around it. You can get knocked out without being told or made aware by the website itself, with no response before the end of the competition. Great!

It seems that naked on pluto was silently dropped because the judges weren’t equipped to understand a game that makes a political point about the subject matter of the competition. That might have been a mistake — maybe they got a lot of spammy entries so didn’t have the time to engage their intelligence, or read the blog, interviews etc… But that they passed an opportunity to engage in dialogue and perhaps correct their mistake speaks volumes. It looks like there is an unwritten rule that satire about the `open web’ (whatever that might be) is not tolerated.

In summary, this sucks.
