The MERPs and I are cheerfully disagreeing over this review of John Wayne Bobbit Uncut:
The munificent sever.
It was first rejected as similar to another review, and it does look similar to "The Magnificent Sever," but munificent is a totally different word, meaning "generous." I resubmitted with the explanation that Bobbit ended up making money from his severed sausage, thus making it a munificent sever. The second rejection came back "factually incorrect." The last two rejections have been without explanation.
I think I've grown too attached (pun intended) to this review, so I am seeking your objective opinions. Should this be accepted? Please give me your two bits worth (pun intended). |

Yep, but it saves him all the same. For the purposes of the review, I think it's O.K. |

I think it's one of the best reviews I've ever written. It's one of those reviews that you love but when you see it in your decline pile for the first time, you enter a state of shock.
I saw the film last week and although it's possible I missed something (I watched it on an airplane at four in the morning and wasn't very impressed), I don't recall him being saved
Well, unless I've got the characters wrong, he's pulled from the front as a special case and taken back home.
Still, I'd find it a stratched to call him 'saved'. He isn't pulled from the front line a la Private Ryan in order to save hime, he is pulled so that he can be manipulated as a public war hero to help raise funds for the war |

I'd have thought it would pass (although I guess that his character is not a private). |

I think "The Munificent Sever" was decent enough to get an approval but I wouldn't bang my head over it. I'd never would have understood it without your explanation.And I think Benj has a rule where if you can't slightly change a word of another review that is already there.

Good review, "The Magnificent Sever", don't you all think? 
Didn't notice this thread bringing it any new votes, but that could change yet 
I can only vote for it once.
That's my problem too.
As for rejected reviews, I still don't understand why the MERPs don't get my submission for Hysterical Blindness of "Looking for Mr. Goodbraille".

Unless Benj has changed the system from when the MERPs were introduced, and assuming that you have been resubmitting rather than submitting afresh, all instances after the first will just have been seen by Benj, so he wasn't going to change his mind. I agree with the others that just because he ended up making money from it doesn't mean that Loretta exhibited any munificence. |

That's 'cos there's no link to it. Fwfrers are lazy, you know. Thought you would have learnt that by now.  |

And here I was thinking you once starred in Splash!! |
