Mars Bar Campaign
Everyone knows by now that Veronica Mars isn’t necessarily guaranteed a season 3. I don’t know about you guys, but if Veronica Mars isn’t picked up for another season, I will be devastated. I know many of you have sent the $4000 Shower Postcards, have been ceaselessly voting in the teavee.com poll (which I’m still not certain is beneficial towards a season 3, but it’s addicting nonetheless), and those dedicated fans who have a already cast their vote in the Save My Show eonline poll (http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2006/060428.html)
But will any of this be enough? Well, who knows for sure? It certainly doesn’t hurt.
But then, of course, we have Dawn Ostroff. Who is Dawn Ostroff, you ask? Well, she is the president of UPN, the one who will have a huge say in whether or not VM will make the cut for The CW. It’s no secret that she likes Veronica, but will this be enough? I was very interested, however, in something I read concerning Dawn’s reaction to the fervent Everwood fans. Take a look:
The following excerpt taken from Ask Ausiello on tvguide.com:
Question: Please tell me you have good news about Everwood going to CW. - Shauna
Ausiello: Actually, I do have a bit of good news. In an e-mail exchange last week, exec producer Rina Mimoun told me that Greg Berlanti met with CW boss Dawn Ostroff last Tuesday and "pitched a whopper of a fifth season." But more important, Rina noted that Dawn was "overcome by the amount of letters/flowers/fudge and even necklaces she has received from Everwood fans! Once again, our fantastic fans could truly save us. So tell everyone to keep 'em coming!" You heard the pretty lady, get busy! Here's that address in case you lost it:
Dawn Ostroff
UPN
11800 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025
I’m impressed that the Everwood fans got such a reaction. Shouldn’t we show Dawn just how much we love Veronica Mars? I have heard talk of a “Mars Bar Campaign” being circulated on some different sites. This campaign would involve VM fans sending a mars bar (or just the wrapper) to Dawn with a message such as:
“Veronica Mars: More addictive than chocolate! Satisfy our craving for Season 3!” or
“A MARS for you, a Mars for me. Nothing Would be Sweeter than a Season Three!”
But, also, I was informed that some places no longer sell mars bars. This is where I was informed of some using a Milky Way with the phrase: “We won’t stand for imitation, give us our Mars.” or something of that variation.
Hell, it may be a long shot, but I don’t care. I’ll do anything to get Dawn’s attention, to let her know that I want Veronica here to stay. Won’t you do the same?
