You cannot say that for sure.

My main concern and why I kept voting "unsure" was that this parody has the
LEGO(r) logo on it.
I really don't want to see a huge debate break out about this. It's been
discussed in some depth before that LEGO does not like it when people apply
their logo to things that they did not approve the use of the logo in. Kevin
has in the past adhered fairly closely on that point as well as the rest of
the Fair Play policies (which are linked from the web front page of this
newsgroup by the way)
The Maxim ice cream company (or whoever they company is) may have similar
(and valid) concerns but they aren't quite as tightly "associated" with the
site.
I don't know who disapproved it. I don't care, really. It got resubmitted
and now it's approved, after a few more changes were made to the pictures in
the folder to elaborate. Kevin ought to make the final determination on this
one though... it's a case deserving of some concern.
All the time spent posting about this by me is time I'm not approving
folders, by the way.
