Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

The Saving Angel campaign is apparently one of the biggest fan campaigns ever undertaken in order to save a television programme from cancellation. The good, good people at SavingAngel.org have come under attack from various different areas of the internet, with people spamming campaign boards on the net. And you would have presumed fellow geeks would all unite together for a common cause.

Anyhoo, the important thing to note is that, alongside the real life, physical rally that will be taking place outside the WB Ranch in California (the WB are the network that have cancelled Angel), there is also a virtual rally taking place, from 6.00am to 10.00am GMT. It won't take very much to participate. They are just asking that you perhaps post on a couple of message boards leaving your support, or even just copy and paste the message below -

"We are eternally thankful for the creative efforts of Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt, the cast, writers, and crew of ANGEL, and we feel that it is too soon for their voices to be silenced. We are willing to follow ANGEL wherever it may go and hope that you will join our cause to save quality television."

Even if you don't really give a hoot, it would make me happy that you played along. Many thanks.
