Folks,
BBC covered the results of a poll done by SFX the previous month; and they started this poll:
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6517155.stm
The poll on SFX poll yielded a win for serentiy:
http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=the_best_sf_movie_ever
And generated huge sales of Firefly and Serenity DVD's
http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=sfx_poll_result_sends_serenity
SFX is a major SF periodical in the UK, available for sale on most newsstands. BBC... is distributed world wide; if Serenity wins here, it is possible it would yield some major PR.
It is my hope/concern that the poll will close after one month; this means the last vote day would be May 1 or May 2. So, I ask for the next few days to vote like crazy for our beloved show. We are only 960 votes out of first place...
(11:30 US ET (GMT - 5) today)
Serenity 31.60%
Star Wars 34.53%
32762 Votes Cast
With rounding, this works out to about:
10353 Serenity
11313 Star Wars
or a difference of 960. We can close this in the time available! Will you help?

Not that I haven't been voting and I loved how the article says Serenity jumped from 144 to 15 on the Amazon ranking chart but... When I look at Fireflyfans.net Amazon chart it doesn't show anything of the sort. What gives?
To paraphrase Kaylee: Whedon's Firefly is just so lush. I want to take a bite out of it all over, you know?

I'd love to come in first place and I am voting like crazy--I have my timer set to get in maximum voteage.
But even second place will warrant good PR. To beat out all those other titles behind Star Wars is no mean feat.

True; 2nd place will not be an embarassment by any means.
But 1st would be shinier!
