Parallel signals really can't go that far

Is video a parallel signal? In case you are mixed up...i am not extending a parallel signal from the parallel port. I am using the cabel from a parallel extension cable and using the 25pin plugs for a quick disconnect/connect solution for my LCD!

here is a diagram:

[PCI Controller]--------Extension---------[25pin Male]--/ --[25pin female]---------LCD.
