Then look at the official rules.
Look under rule #9.
"The contest is open to MTV Online users who are residing citizens of the U.S. between 13 and 49 years of age at time of entry. "
That's right, you have to be under 50 to participate. Call me kooky, but I seem to recall that some of the people that post on occasion here are over 49.
Just for a big kicker, look at the age choices, I seem to recall anything over 33 (or 37?) was "over the hill".
Good job MTV, show off you incredible skill and knowledge by excluding and irritating part of Daria's demographics.
BTW, any guess as to whether or not they might actually start *gasp* selling the animation cells.. Gee, I might be going out on a limb, but I bet they would actually sell fairly well.
Hey, I may be "over the hill" (and I saw that when I did the first quiz) in MTV's eyes, but I still qualify for the contest by more than a decade... so there, MTV. :P
How many 50+ Daria fans do we have here, anyway?
I'd buy a nice Daria cel. I'd pay real money for it, especially if it were authenticated by MTV. (MTV, get on the ball and offer some really nice Daria collectibles...)
Yeah, I gotta say that kinda bugged me - but since I'm "over the hill" it seems MTV doesn't care much what I think... maybe they don't think I'm edgy enough...

Neener neener neener! I am way ahead of you 'cause I already got one of those. Did it all by myself. About 100 hours of work but it was worth it. It's the first picture since I've started drawing as a hobby that I'm really proud of. And I've been playing with the idea of doing a "Lawndale and Friends" picture with all the Lawndale characters and atd regulars standing in a long line holding hands. But at the moment I'm busy working on my erotica. I've finished the pencil sketching for the Daria picture yesterday. Now I need to digitize and colorize it. Then I'll start with Trent. I think I'll be finished end of October when I will release those 2 pictures together with the one mentioned above and a few other sketches I've done. Maybe after that I'll take on the "Lawndale and Friends" project. So if you don't win 1st prize, don't panic. You might get your Lawndale appearance anyway. MSB
I have a question about #4 in the quiz. If you haven't taken this quiz yet and wish to do so, don't read on until you have if you want to honestly take a shot at the questions w/out knowing them beforehand, so a little spoiler space..... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *(that's enough) I won't give the answer choices away for this one:
Question #4- Who was the MC (emcee) at the mother-daugher fashion show in "Pierce Me"?
Now I may be wrong about this, not having seen this episode in awhile, but IIRC, there was no emcee, no announcer, no anyone except for the participants and the audience, we were never shown an emcee of any kind. Maybe they meant the bridal show emcee from "I Don't"? MTV has a good idea here, with this contest, they could at least get the facts about their own show straight!
If I am wrong about this, may I be forced to watch a 24 hour Barney marathon with no food, restroom, or sleep breaks of any kind.(shivers at the thought of THAT!)
That's exactly what it is. MTV's brilliant website developers screwed up. Upchuck was the emcee for the bridal shower in "I Don't," and the fashion show in "Pierce Me" had no visible emcee.
