Hello, 
I think that Firefly is ripping off Outlaw Star (an anime) in a big way, there is a scene where a girl is in a case, naked. There is an exact scene in Outlaw Star like that, also the whole premise of the show is ripped off and so is the characters. So please sign this petition to cancel Firefly on Fox,

Thank you for your time

Satsuma,
A few points to consider -
1) Online petitions never work. You want people to take notice you're gonna need some dead trees and ink.
2) How many complete episodes of Firefly did you watch before you came to the conclusion that they are identical? Oh I see...
3) What on earth makes you think that a Firefly website is a good place to recruit anti-Firefly signatures for your petition? You having any luck selling fridges to those eskimos?
4) Anime is notorious for copying ideas from previous movies/shows.
5) To quote a very wise man "there's nothing new under the sun". Everything's been done before - it's just a question of giving it your own unique flavour. Joss is a past master at taking cliches and turning them on their head. If Firefly does bear any relation to Outlaw Star in outline you can bet it won't by the time it's on the screen.
Have a nice day.

And I can verify that...seeing as how I own an anime OVA (Sol Bianca) where a boy stows away on a space ship in a large crate. I think this came out...in the early 90's? Way before Outlaw Star. The whole stowaway idea is not a new one, it's been done before, it'll been done again.
Nothing new under the sun indeed. So what's with all these posts about how Firefly rips off things? Probably because it's the most unique thing out there right now, people feel the need to bring it down?
Or maybe it's just the same DA bazoars. The grammar would certainly support that.

Good luck drumming up support at FireflyFans.net.
36 signatures so far. Out of millions of viewers, that's a pretty significant voting block. I'm worried. Though "cancel" is misspelled, the petition must be taken seriously. 14 year-olds have so much clout in the television business. After all, they managed to keep DA on the -- oh...
Has anyone else seen the other ludicrous petitions on that site? Oh, the stupidity!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sorry, but idiots make me laugh. 
"Oh, the whole show must be ripped off because 1 fricking scene is reminiscent of something else!" EVERYTHING is reminiscent of something else, you dingleberry! Go get a life and stop talking trash about shows on their FAN SITES!

I even see a resemblance to Cowboy Bebop, but so what? Nothing is truly original. The petition is ridiculous.
