I too have become aggrevated with the FOX Network. It seems the only show they care about is American Idol. I admit, I do enjoy the show. however, they do love to brag about how many viewers they have.. and especially how many people voted during the competition show.

Maybe we could stage a protest, a "Don't Vote for an American Idol Contestant Day"

You know, set it for a few weeks from now, so we can get the word out. Treat it as a social protest for FOX cancelling Wonderfalls and Firefly. And just encourage everyone you know not to vote that night. It won't stop the millions of people who do vote, but maybe we could get thier votes to drop by a few million... and maybe get a little TV coverage of our own.

If nothing else, thier advertisers may say something like "I thought you had 15 million viewers, are you sure? Only 5 million voted!"

I don't know, just a thought really.

Cool. I'd join in, but I don't know. But very nice idea.

How would the advertisers know? Do you think Fox is above lying about their call-in volume?

Wouldn't suprise me if they were.
