But you know that makes absolutely no sense at all, that there's no logic in it, right?
There's a bit of logic in it. The idea is to engage the viewers into doing something by asking them, and whilst there's certainly a question as to who's running the campaign, I think if JW and friends start matching donations it could become a whole bigger issue.
Personally, I support Allyson's idea purely for the idea of the gesture going beyond pencils. I don't care how it's reported with regards to the show runners.
The e-mails in Press warm the cockles of my usually cold-cockled heart.
Press emails = awwww.
Pencils = eyerolly.
Allyson = teh Awesome.
(Yeah, I got nothin'.) (Oh, wait, there's this:)
Okay, the knitting talk was a while ago, but: I can't crochet at home (instead, I do it at school during group meetings and seminars!) because of my cat. It'd be okay if she'd just play with the yarn, but she insists upon playing the the hook. And it's difficult to crochet with a cat hanging off of your hook.
Also? Apparently the people who make (and/or sell) baby yarn are against the color purple. Seriously, wtf?
I think I'd be in trouble if I had a kitten or young cat, but my cats are more mature (shall we say) and just not as crazy as the young ones.
Did you guys watch the clip with the guy from Everyone Hates Chris and Todd Bridges? Hilarious.
Press emails = awwww.
Pencils = eyerolly.
Allyson = teh Awesome.
Yep, thanks Una for the summation. And thanks Steph for the new tag, iffin it's ok to snag.
Somebody did raise a point about it turning into more of a clusterfuck if showrunners started matching the pencils thing with their own money
Yeah, at least one of those people seemed to think the idea was to ask the showrunners to match funds for MORE PENCILS. Um... not so much.
Jane bought some pencils. Maybe she read Whedonesque wrong too.
Unless she spent thousands of dollars buying pencils that isn't really relevant to what I said.
