bitter, party of one your table's ready

from the description at AOLtv's bit on La Femme Nikita:

History: The show made history following its cancellation when fans created the first-ever Internet campaign to successfully bring back a TV series. More than 10,000 e-mails were sent to Warner Bros. and USA Networks, along with letters and other stalker-type inducements to bring the show
back. It worked and they produced a fifth and final season.

that is seriously crackin' me up. ahhhhhhhh, Warner Bros. you silly, bitter, babies.

seriously? While I'll grant that the sending of TVs was a bit much, I don't think the phrase "stalker-type inducements" actually works in the English language, at least not in the context of that sentence. They fail at life and the internets.

Seriously. Stalkers? And here I thought we were evil, brain washing overlords. *pouts*

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

it's a smear campaign, cleverly designed to HIDE the fact that we're evil, brain washing overlords. *nods*

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Like that will stop us. *snort*

Dear Warner Bros: *plbt*

And seriously, thank yew, 'cos the success of the LFN campaign was instrumental and inspirational when Skiffy decided that Farscape should join Nikita on the farm.

We win. Ha!

I sent flowers a couple times. 5 roses for 5 seasons. Well, some secretary enjoyed them, maybe, but I don't think that was a stalker-type inducement. I doubt they would have responded to threats....oh, wait.

you just had to threaten to release the grainy pictures of somebody important watching america's funniest videos, din'ja... inducement is such a negative word, or is it stalkerlike that's negative? :devil:
