Some seem mystified that this article has appeared many places. The writer's credit says "Associated Press." The AP does two things: Generates its own stories, and takes stories from its subscriber newspapers and shares them with other subscribers. Pretty much every paper in the US is an AP subscriber. So whether this story started with an AP staffer or at a single member paper, it went out over AP's entertainment wire and has been picked up, apparently, by quite a few outlets. The image (and possibly others) would've gone out over the wire, too.
Which means, by the way, that hundreds more entertainment editors saw this article and didn't have room/interest to run it ... but they saw the Firefly reference, which means the NEXT story to refer to the show might stick in their brains, and on their pages/sites. Newspaper editors are an astonishingly sheeplike lot, esp. in the features sections.
"Bang."
