if we could get every major Futurama site to post it, it'd be even better.

i could just picture it, "Anchovies For Fry" typed in blue, and for the picture, GFF's label and have FOX's mailing address. Marc, andie or jon could inform CGEF visitors of this idea and ask that they buy anchovies, (spoiled is an option) let them copy the picture so they could put one on each of the cans of anchovies and write, "Anchovies For Fry" or whatever to inform FOX that this is a protest for the one year anniversary of Futurama's cancellation.
CGEF remember when you informed the public of the five anniversary of Futurama's first airing earlier this year? March 29, 2004.
What have you planned to inform the public on the anniversary of the cancelation? Just a post and have people place comments of how mad they are? Why not inform the public of Anchovies For Fry, instead?
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE. IF YOU IGNORE THIS PLEA THAN THAT IS NO DIFFERENT WHEN FUTURAMA FANS FIRST SENT LETTERS TO FOX BEGGING TO RENEW THE SHOW, BUT FOX MERELY IGNORED IT AND LET THE CHIPS FALL. WE, SUPPORTERS OF ANCHOVIES FOR FRY ASK CGEF TO INFORM THE FUTURAMA FANS TO SEND LETTERS TO FOX AGAIN AND THIS TIME DON'T HOLD THE ANCHOVIES.

Here's the song parody that fuels me to never give up on keeping Futurama alive. May it fuel you to join Anchovies For Fry even more.
American Fry (Parody of Don McLean’s "American Pie" )
by fryfanSpyOrama
A long long time ago I can still remember how that show used to make me smile And I knew if I gave it a chance That I’d be happy and do a little dance And maybe it’d be on for a long while.
But August 10, made me shiver Saying goodbye to Fry, Leela and Bender But we still had a blast Bender traded away his metal ass.
I can’t remember if I cried When I learned about the end of this space ride But something touched me deep in side The day the show died.
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die This’ll be the day that we die.
Did you know this pizza delivery boy Is now a comic and an action toy Maybe it is just as so Can you believe in FOX’s role May god damn their mortal souls And I hope he takes it real slow.
Well, I knew the show would be big hit But FOX still treated like it was shit Of course we know we were screwed What’s a bunch of die-hard fans to do?
All we can say is that FOX, you suck Caring only about the mighty buck And we all knew we were out of luck The day the show day.
We started singing’
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die This’ll be the day that we die.
Now for five years we’ve been having fun Watching the PE crew getting the job done Making a whole bunch of deliveries. Well I also like the Professor and Scruffy Hermes and that sexy Asian, Amy Dr. Zoidberg seemed real funny to me
Oh and while FOX was looking down The PE crew just made them frown Their decision was adjourned With no chance of a return And Matt and David fought for the show But FOX merely gave them a big “no” And we all just said FOX, you blow The day the show died
We were singing
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die This’ll be the day that we die.
Now we fans sent in a bunch of letters Saying keeping the show was for the better FOX merely threw them in the trash. 72 episodes and dying fast The show on FOX just couldn’t last The PE crew was in for a big crash.
Now we remember Fry and Leela’s first kiss It was a moment that we all didn’t miss Now Leela can never be sad Because she also found her mom and dad And her pet Nibbler is not what he seems Fry in the future was part of his scheme Leela, “the other” we can only dream The day the show died.
We started singing
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die This’ll be the day that we die.
Oh once a week we’d love coming to this place This generation’s Lost In Space But some say it’s more like Star Trek Star Wars stuff was also used To keep us fans still amused But FOX won’t now bring it back. Oh and Fry started blowing that holophone I can sense Leela’s loving tone It was the scene we’ve waited for Leela and Fry together and maybe score But the fact it was last episode that night Just made us think it wasn’t right But FOX just laughed with delight The day the show died
We were singing
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die This’ll be the day that we die.
I knew August 10 was the end And it felt I was losing a friend But they’ll live on in my memories I learned that the show wasn’t done Cartoon Network now has it in rerun. But it doesn’t just feel same to me
And in the end the fans just cheered But to FOX we all just jeered. No other word was spoken Because all our hearts were broken And the three people I admired a lot Fry, Leela and the lovable robot Are all gone, but won’t be forgot The day the show died
And we were singing
So bye-bye, Mr. Philip J. Fry With a girlfriend named Leela Who’s got only one eye And that good ole Bender’s still drinking whiskey and rye Saying this’ll be the day that we die

I love the parody, but it also went a long way to destroying the original American Pie for me. Whenever I listened I'd raise a glass (or if I was driving, I'd nod nostalgically) to Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Richie Valance, and the pilots who all crashed and inspired that song. And now I mostly think of Futurama. My only beef with it is there's too many syllables in the line "And that good ole Bender's still drinking whiskey and rye." Throws me off a bit. But yeah, awesome. Totally. And to stay on topic: Hooray, anchovies for Fry. We should maybe draft a letter as well, to send with the anchovies to really drive the point home.

Greetings people. Smiley here from TLZ. I recently sent Marc a full scale printable package of Nasty Norge Anchovies that you can print out on heavy greeting card stock, glue and paste around an outdated stinky mothball block, and send to FOX August 10th. Those who don't wish to buy the mothball block or have a wood block rubbed in animal dung to be wrapped can just print the package up and add your own two cents. I'm sure FOX will be p****d at everyone with the initials LWB from then on. Tough.

Okay, I'm posting a link to my slightly modified version of the previously posted lable. Note the increase in angry levels and the addition of Fry to the lable. As for the issue of how well anchovies relate to Futurama and weather or not Fox gets the message, I say go for it anyway. Take into consideration these things: A) could you really live with yourself as a Futurama fan if you didn't take a chance and make an effort. B) there is the out-side chance that this thing could attract public interest. If word got out that a bunch of people accross the continent were mysteriously sending can after can of anchovies in the mail, local news programs might be interested in the movement and do a brief segment. If your local news is at all like mine, you'll find they stick all kinds of random stuff in between the actuall news, which this almost qualifies as. http://storage.msn.com/s1pZ8pl_R1n1zFbPsq3ZPzGk7g1_dAvkB_w60iSI2_w2nv2gnjkiVX0hs5ZToD2m7STaGLmwAq9vdJTDeJLO4aZwQ/00.jpg?MdToken=3204781807643831 Edit: Full of new link goodness!

Maybe not the local news, but entertainment magazines I'm sure would be interested. For instance, when all the fans of... what is it, Farscape? sent in their bras, TV Guide had a blurb about it. Then, about a month or two later, they had another blurb- announcing that the fans had achieved their goal. And poo on whoever that was who was all pessimistic a few posts back. As a wise man once said, "You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless! You gotta hope even more, and cover your ears and go 'blah blah blah blah blah'!"

Smiley again. No annoyance intended to anyone but FOX officials. The address, SAL, is located somewhere else in these threads. I'm just throwing in my 2 cents of art to anyone and everyone who wants to "put it together or email it" on August the 10th as a protest to FOX's cancellation of Futurama.

@ fryfan- That's a really cool song! I remember reading it at TLZ a while back. @ germanfryfan- Wow. That label is awesome. Too bad I already sent 50 cans of anchovies... I would have used that... I just attached a little PE logo pictures with the caption "Anchovies for Fry- Please bring Futurama Back!" Oh, well. To Aldi! Must buy MORE!

Cans from Aldis!? Spoiled cans of anchovies? I suggested those already smelly mothball bars your suppose to put in your closet to keep moths and nosey visiting neighbors out, but if you want to go el cheapo with the anchovies- knock yourselves out! FOX will either have to try and feed them to stray New York cats or make routine calls to the Hazardous Materials Disposal teams. Just be sure not to put any Arabic wording or addresses on them or Homeland Security will freak enough to blow their brain slugs off!

I hate to disappoint you Evil Abe but Mr. Rupe Murdoch (rhymes with t**dc**k) owns FOX, MGM, and DirectTV Satellite. His networking is global. It'll take a WORLDWIDE effort to even make a dent in his balding head.
