This the Fox haters might find interesting:

MySpace. Bought by FOX, basically. MySpace! "The fifth most-viewed internet domain in the US"

MySpace still has vulnerabilities!

THIS is particularly interesting:

In theory a group of registered people could post Comments on as many random people's profiles as possible (how many Firefly fans have MySpace profiles?), with an embeded link to the Firefly theme song (hosted online somewhere to link to), or someone's recording of "Fox canceled Firefly, bought up MySpace, bring FF back!!" and it would play on everyone's profile page that had been Commented (until they delete the specific Comment).

Another option I read somewhere but can't find at the moment is a self-replicating worm that adds your friends' friends to their friends (creating a pyramid, origin profile at the top). The origin profile would easily be found by the Powers That Be -- and in that profile could be our manifesto.
Someone did this and had 1 million friends in 24 hours.

You want the word out? Do it drastically!!

Disclaimer: I'm not to be held responsible if anyone's crazy enough to do it! It may be illegal, or immmoral, or some such. I'm just pointing out a few Google searches possible combine with ideas. Browncoats don't play by the rules.

STORYMARK

I'm not going to endorse hacking or any other illegal activity, even in support of Firefly. Screwing with people's profile pages is low.

And suggesting such activity, providing links for resources to do such, and then saying "don't blame me" is pretty cowardly, IMO.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Just a thought. I don't expect anyone to seriously do anything. ;P
