Not the first time I have ever mixed up my memories, you are problably right
about the events, heaven knows you were typing like a mad man the whole
time. Thanks for the nod for my singing experience, although I doubt I will
be considered for the next American Idol.

Finally don't assume that just because my first name is Scott that I will
instantly launch into a war with you Larry. :) It was great to see you again!

The "even you Brendan" reference was from the early part of Brads talk
before any questions... as I said  Brad said in the transcript (and i owe a
better copy, soon, soon..)

"The most important message from LEGO is this: “we trust you with our
brand”. We trust you to do the right things and not dishonor the brand… Even
Brendan!"

That was before any questions, so it wasn't a comment that was attached to
the "dark" LoTR answer.

Thats my recollection anyway. I wouldn't make too much of it but I did type
that entire transcript in the order it was said...

While it is still somewhat fresh in my mind I will try to paint the picture.
A young girl asked about the posiblity of doing a Lord of the Rings licence,
and Brad said that the movies were just too dark and violent to co-mingle
with TLC's image and corporate strategy. (Side note: no problem with
Jurassic Park III though?) Brad then said that the body of work represented
by the things created by the people there in the room was exactly what TLC
was hoping for, and that they trusted us as AFOL's to not use the brick
inappropriately. At that point he looked directly at Brendan and said "Even
your stuff Brendan" or something like that, which is what prompted Brendan's
question.

Another side note, I echo Brad's sentiment The Revrends stuff is
consistantly great, and it's great to see a nod from someone at TLC.

What is this about? When/where was Brendan being singled out? Did I miss
something?

Brendan Smith: Why were you singling me out? Do I do something that is
contrary to values, or that I am doing things that are congruent?
A; the latter… three are people that have questioned it but they are wrong…
you are honoring the brand and being very creativewe would not be happy with
exceedingly violent
