No Pizza Hut!? WHY?!

[kihayo.livejournal.com]

I thought I would share with the community the answer I received from Bandai. Since some people were wondering as well.

QUESTION:
I've been a really big fan of code geass since it aired in Japan. I just
recently watched the dub on the adult swim website, and no I haven't
e-mailed you to complain about it. I noticed that all the pizza hut ads
were censored out. Will it be like that on the dvds as well or will it
have the original imagery?

Thank you for taking you time in reading this, hope you hear from you
soon.

ANSWER:
Dear Kim,
Unfortunately, the Japanese rights holders did not clear the Pizza Hut logo for outside Japan, however we did try to get permission and Pizza Hut declined to give us permission.
So, unfortunately, we were unable to provide the Pizza Hut logo for broadcast and DVD releases.
Regards,

Sorry ): A while ago someone posted here about a flash Cheese-kun Pizza hut offered where you can post it on your blog and it will grow every few days and if you have certain key words, it's final stage will be special or something. You can see it here (http://parts.pizzahut.jp/) Also at the bottom it says "Copyright© KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN JAPAN LTD. All Rights Reserved."
