Farscape Fans Produce Commercial

angst writes "Farscape fans have come together and produced a commercial called 'I am Farscape'. In the hopes of bringing more media and consumer awareness that the fans of this show are not happy that it is being cancelled. So far it will be aired in 24 cities nation wide. Look for it the week of Nov. 24th if you are in the list."

Yikes!

I've seen this commercial, and if anything, it will convince Sci-Fi that Farscape fans are a bunch of untalented fan-boys (and girls) that smell bad, and don't know how to make a commercial. It's... bad.

On the other hand, Farscape is so great that it's taking up 13 gigs of my hard drive... ::blinks innocently::

Have that new smell-o-vision, huh?

Awareness

[faeryman]

I walk around in leather and say I'm a Peacekeeper and try and drum up interest in the show. It doesn't work that well though..people just smack my ass, so I'm all for the new TV commercial to succeed in getting people interested.

They need a catchier line

[DarkHelmet]

That just won't do... How about:

Farscape:
Because botox on vulcans is illogical.

I am absolutely disgusted

Farscape is a program that has been on for years and uses computer generated sequences created on GNU/Linux machines.

GNU/Linux, as you know, is an operating system that uses many GPL'd tools provided by GNU. Considering that these same tools are used to help create the show Farscape, should the program not be called GNU/Farscape?

An excerpt from the pilot:
Crais is the captain of a command carrier ship belonging to a military empire known as Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers are an oppressive, human-like species known for keeping "peace" and "stability" with the use of brutality and military cunning. One of their jobs is the assassination and imprisonment of political dissidents and trouble makers.

Hmm... haven't I seen this somewhere else recently...

Did someone else get the feeling of an AA meeting when you watched the I Am Farscape commercial? [mac.com]

coming to a grocer near you

[!splut]

Did anyone else interpret that headline as announcing a Farscape-sponsored commercial for fruits and veggies?

"Farscape oranges. They're out of this world."

Money, and all things like it

[Thenomain]

Personally, I wish these people could have saved the money in advertising costs to bribe a UPN exec. From looking at the commercials, it'd have to be a lower exec, maybe a kid in the mail room, but I think the money could have been better spent.

the commercial is a success!

[herrd0kt0r]

this commercial has already converted one person to tune in to farscape. how?

all i gotta say is that if that graphic designer chix0r is farscape, then _i_ wanna be farscape too!

and then...like...the entire show was gone...

i was like..uh?

It's kind of...(long silence...) a bummer.
