Apparently, IFilm.com has pulled the satirical short film Jar Jar Binks: The E! True Hollywood Story from its site after complaints from the real E! cable network, according to a news report from Variety.

The 10-minute short, which drew a more than 71,000 downloads, caused some irritation of E! executives, who considered it a slight against the network.

Neurotrash.com picked up the Internet broadcasting rights to the short film, which pretty much makes fun of the Star Wars: Episode I character. As part of the deal, Jar Jar producer Alok Mishra, writer-director Leif Einarsson and co-writer David Estes signed a production deal with Neurotrash to create 10 projects. But at this point, this don't look so good for them anymore. Damn executives.
