As an aside, the thank you notes in Press make me so happy.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think it's really cool that people are emailing!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Yeah, I think it's really cool that people are emailing!
Yes. Virtual hugs and all that. It's a nice little smile maker.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That's the motto, isn't it? "Look! A cliff! Let's run!!!"
On MST3K, their variation on it was "Run towards the danger!" Which I sometimes repeat to myself, just 'cause.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
yes, the notes in press are giving me many warm fuzzies.

Can someone explain to me why people are weirded out by the idea of asking Joss to donate money as part of Allyson's plan to salvage the missteps already taken with this campaign, when Joss is asking them to open their wallets, again, six weeks before Christmas?
For I am confused.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Well, in fairness the people who appeared weirded out by the idea were very much in the minority. Somebody did raise a point about it turning into more of a clusterfuck if showrunners started matching the pencils thing with their own money, as it would appear as though they're effectively funding the fan campaign, which would remove it's point.

But you know that makes absolutely no sense at all, that there's no logic in it, right?
Monique - Nov 18, 2007 1:19:44 pm PST #8330 of 10001
Yeah, I'm missing the logic as well, sorry.
They're effectively running the campaign. Why not pony up some cash to offset any negative impressions brought about by that?
