Geek activism reaches new heights
Taken from the Internet Movie Data Base

"Avid fans of the canceled sci-fi series Farscape have created a commercial titled "I Am Farscape" and say they are buying time on cable outlets in 24 cities nationwide to air it during the week of Nov. 24th. The commercial, which they call "this first ever fan-produced, fan-funded television commercial," is aimed at accelerating what they claim is a grass-roots movement to save the series. In a message posted on the Save Farscape website , the show's fans acknowledge that in major cities they have only been able to buy time in the middle of the night. "But that's okay, because the goal of this project is to draw mainstream media attention to our cause."

Far out, man.
