Nuts!

Although this is more of a technology and programming blog, it is also my personal blog.

One of my main hobbies is watching tv series… hundreds of them.

As so, I would like to share this story with you all… at least to those that ain’t heard of it before.

CBS series ‘Jericho’ was a great canceled several weeks ago (9 May). The show was promising, revolving around the residents of a town called ‘Jericho’ after a series of nuclear attacks on major cities in the United States.

After the cancellation, the shocked fans quickly banded together, many using CBS’ own public “Jericho” discussion forum, and began brainstorming on ways to convince the network to bring back the show for a second season. A plot point in the final episode of “Jericho” involving the expletive “Nuts!” (in reference to an historic conversation between generals) was turned into a campaign to send large quantities of nuts to CBS’ NY, LA, and affiliate offices. Fans have sent a total of $26,000 for a pooled campaign hosted at Nuts Online to ship over 19,000 (9.5 tons) pounds of peanuts to CBS.

Slashdot also presented recently a post on the subject.
