"Hybrid" sites - yes or no?

[Pagan]

I got into a Build-a-Thon over on another board over the weekend, and had a challenge to build a free site using 2 sponsors that hand out pretty darned good content. I needed to build more.. so I did. Problem I had was I only found 2 galleries worth of so-so material (Originally only 20 pics) that I sort of like. The site was supposed to represent both sponsors, so, I did a movie clip page with 4-30 second clips. The gallery was clearly labeled as a movie gallery, too.

About half the sites I submitted the 3 gallery version to accepted it. Then I got a rejection notice from LOR that they don't accept mixed media - pics or clips, but not both. It isn't in the rules, but hey, I can respect that... I quickly built a clone, submitted a 24 picture, 2 gallery version, and all seem to be happy.

Now, with just about every single sponsor out there offering pics and movies on their trailers and FHGs, what is the big issue here? Is it so wrong to want to update a minimum-content site with a bit more, especially when it represents the second sponsor? Is this a trend I want to stay away from? Do pics only or clips only, but never both?

Sigh.. so many questions, and it is only Monday!
