Didn't see this discussed on the other BDF thread, so I thought I'd bring it up(apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere).

In addition to getting people to watch the Big Damn Friday marathon on Sci-Fi(March 10th), how 'bout we pull together and do something similar to the "Tabasco Campaign" that the "Roswell" fans initiated several years ago?

For those of you not familiar with this idea or the show, "Roswell" was a SciFi show on the WB a few years ago. The characters on the show were aliens in human form, and liked all of their food to be spicy, so they doused everything(even cake...blech) with Tabasco sauce.

When the WB was threating to cancel the show because of, say it all together now, LOW RATINGS, Roswell fans came together and started mailing bottles and sometimes, CASES, of Tabasco sauce to the WB. The campaign worked, and Roswell lived to see another season (or two...I forget).

Anyway, I'm thinking we pick a product or two from one of the BDF sponsors, and do something similar...bombard the SciFi Channel and/or Universal with products from said sponsers to let 'em know the show, and the ads, are being watched.

Along with the product(s), take the opportunity to write a letter encouraging a re-light of our Big Damn Show from SciFi, and/or another Big Damn Movie from Universal.

I'm going to give it a shot fellow 'Coats. Hope you will too...

Dead people are kind of spendy, and it's against the rules to ship them through the Allian..err...US postal service.


Plastic dinosaurs?

That brings to mind "inevitable betrayal" which isn't an idea we want to put in their minds.

Not a product from a sponsor, but goes with the whole Roswell something-in-the-show(Tabasco) idea...even better.

Damn good idea!

My first thought was FRUITY OATY BARS. You know those fruit & grain breafast/snack thingies (warning; may contain trace amounts of healhty ingredients).
Then I realised what fools we have all been. We have not been recording all the post from new folks joining this group. We don't need to send products. We need to send all of the newbies post. There's 2,000+ new Browncoats since I joined in Dec. 05.
HAKEN some help with this PLEASE. Set up a folder where all newbies post can be archieved.
Call it something like "Confessions from the Black".
If all of the rest of us simply wrote up our own Firefly experience and mailed it in. ?.
