lady_schrapnellYounger Daughter alerted me to the news this morning: fans of the cancelled (Gah!) Veronica Mars have started a campaign to flood the offices of CW with -- well, no real suspense at this point, given the subject line... A random seller on Amazon, who had never watched the show, got enthusiastic about the idea and volunteered free shipping to help out. So devoted are said fans that almost all the Mars bars in the States have been bought out and they're now looking to Canada for more. The seller has even started a blog with updates on the campaign. (And apparently will be watching the show this weekend.)
The full story can apparently be found on Television Without Pity, but I relied on YD's excellent reporting skills for the story myself. (The topic goes about 10 pages back in the forum, so I was glad of them... Brief summary is that fans are hoping to get Them to agree to another 7 or so eps to tie off all threads at least, as the notice of cancellation was received too late to make the season finale into a series finale.)
