I stumbled across this website. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Firefly Must Die
http://www.ratsalad.com/teevee/zaza_fireflymustdie.htm


Dad: What shall we watch tonight? (Removes pipe tobacco from cardigan)

Mom: How about Firefly? (Places bowl of popcorn on coffee table)

Little Bobbie: (Runs in from den) I love science fiction!

Little Susie: (Jumping up and down in excitement) Kaylee's my favorite character!

Dad: I hear she gets raped to death this week!

Mom: Not only that - she dies weeping!

Bobbie and Susie: Yay!!!!!!


I guess this kind of violent pornography is justified when you're a wunderkind who makes "philosophical dramas about the search for meaning."

Wow, where to start? I guess Zaza has a problem with fact that slavery WAS NOT the main reason for the Civil War, no more than the Holocaust was for WWII.

It seems that everything he doesn't like about the South (or history in general) is connected to Firefly on purpose (instead of his warpped imagination) (For some reason McVeigh the NORTHERNER is tied in with the "evil south)

Lastly, I like how this waste of skin doesn't even KNOW that Fox isn't making the movie.

I found the article a highly entertaining parody of an insecure idiot. It was very realistic in that regard. I especially liked the part where he thinks Fox is making the movie...or the way he thinks a television show, or even a movie has some dangerous potential to sway his pet political concerns. Kudos to the author. Write more!

Disturbing quotes:

"Tell them you think a Firefly film is bad idea if our country is to evolve, culturally and spiritually, away from the more negative aspects of our history."

"So what I propose is this: Write to Fox and offer to buy $5.00 worth of Simpsons merchandise as an act of good faith, and promise that when Fox publicly announces that there will be no Firefly film (or return of the series, or sale of it to another network) you will purchase an additional $5.00 worth of Simpsons merchandise. To Fox this will be the same financially as if you went to see the Firefly movie, plus they won't actually have to make one. A fair deal all around, wouldn't you say?

Your sample email to Fox:

To: feedbackus@fox.com
From: (you)
Subject: Firefly - Just Say No
As a concerned citizen with an interest in historical accuracy, I strongly urge you not to produce, finance, or in any way support the creation of a film version of the cancelled series Firefly.
To support your efforts to provide me with quality entertainment, I promise to spend $5.00 on Simpsons merchandise now, and $5.00 more when you publicly announce that there will be no further development of the Firefly franchise.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
(your name here)"



It's almost funny, but... not really.

Well, someone really smart, whose name I am too lazy to look up, once said: "If you can't annoy someone with what you write, there's little point in writing it." It's one of the things that I love so much about Joss Whedon: His shows are remarkably good at pissing off people that really deserve to be pissed off.

Riiiiight. Joss Whedon's a racist. Which is why he has an interracial couple and two black actors on the show. In comparison to other other races, blacks are, if anything, over represented on Firefly.

That and he seems to miss the fact that Firefly is inspired by a paticular period in American History, but it's not a direct allegory.

Moron.

One of the Civil War experts from FFF could maybe contact the guy, or maybe it's best to ignore him.

Help prevent Firefly: The Motion Picture

I second Tash and add that maybe, while he or she is at it, call him a chowderhead.

I vote for ignoring this prat. It doesn't look like that's a very well trafficed site.

Writing letters to Miramax in support of the FF movie might not be a bad idea, though
