Ok, so for those of you who might recall the show Roswell (not the beloved Futurama episoide "Roswell That Ends Well", the actual factual TV series) may have heard about a campaign that the fans started after the network (I forget which one it was on) threatened to can it after its first season. Esentially the fans sent bottle after bottle of tabasco sause (the favorite food of the extra-terrestrial main characters aparently) to the network and gained enough attention to get the show back for one more season. Now, the point: I was just wonder what, if the futurama comunity were to do something similar,what sort of product (condiment or otherwise) would best represent Futurama to be sent in? Right now I'm just interested to hear what everybody thinks. Then again, who knows? Maybe a campaign like this might be the extra little boost needed to win over the Fox execs. Also, has anyone else thought that there should be a seperate section for petitions and hair-brained schemes such as this? Just a thought.

.. If someone sent me cases upon cases of beer.. I'd drink them.. Tabasco sause isn't something thats readily displacable/consumable, which is why it had such an impact. Plus its not that expensive, so even the elementry school fan could support the cause.. Beer would be a 21 (usa) and up thing. What we should send is Angry Norwegian brand ANCHOVIES! They're nasty, smell bad but Fry's favorite! Send the slimey bastards ANCHOVIES! **WOOHOO! I'm a Delivery Boy!!** (and I was one too!)

But that was when the show was still on the air, they were just threatening to cancel it. Futura has been cancelled for two years now.

Originally posted by KVA: Or we could put some anthrax virus in them. "Angry Norwegian Anthrax"? I mean the company have to make something else than just anchovies under the "Angry Norwegian" brand. If I have beer I would never send it to FOX, I would drink it myself. But I would send some Manwhich ingridients. Or a Shirley Hemple.

Everything else Fox wont look twice at. I'll start sending you Manwiches in a minute if you keep on the way you're going. <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/tongue.gif">
