Our legal department hearts Schrodinger

I've been playing tug of war with our legal department all week trying to get some bits for tonight's show cleared. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, I send them paperwork, they tell me if they have everything they need, then it can be put in the show.

One especially irritating bit seems to have it in for modern physics as the bit seems to be both cleared and not cleared at the same time. It exists in some sort of limbo where it has been played on television, yet it cannot be played on television. It's not that it could have been played at one point and now something happened to the paperwork and it can no longer be played. Indeed, nothing about the paperwork has changed. Some sort of black hole has opened up in our legal department that's twisting the various fabric of space causing some paperwork to both exist and not exist, much like Schrodinger's cat. Or maybe it was paper gnomes. At any rate, the point is that what once was valid is no longer so. And I spent all yesterday making it valid again. But it was already valid in the first place. So I spent yesterday Un-Schrodingering Schrodinger's Cat, if you will- and please don't.
Basically the upshot is that I went home last night with a huge headache.
