Oh what the HELL! They couldn't give it a happy ending where he gets adopted? AS IN ADOPT SCIFI?!

"He gets away with it? Jesus Grampa, why did you read me this book?!"

I have to go pet my cat now.

I'm kind of hoping there'll be a sequel or something where he gets adopted, like those Pedigree commercials where they were all, "This dog was perfectly happy, until his family got a place that couldn't take dogs," and then they show you the unhappy dog in the shelter and all you can think is, "Jesus Christ, why would you get a new apartment that didn't take pets if you had one?!"

Ahem. I hate that commercial, for the record. The follow-up made me MUCH happier.

"I can't remember how I got here...but I remember how it felt when I left" followed by frolicking? First time I saw it me and my sister both went "OH NO! The sad commercial!" and then we proceeded to squeal happily when we saw that it wasn't sad.

Awww. That's such an incredibly cute ad. *sniffles* Poor little alien...

That sucks. I am not crying, nope, not crying.

I want a happy ending!

*is broken*

Hey, Sci Fi, I demand a friggin' happy ending to that commercial right now! (or at least a chance to holler at those kids!)

(And the Oliver commercial? Oh my god, I wanted to get in the car and go get him every single time they aired it!)

*also wibbles*

Kids can be so mean.

The "Lady in the Water" score doesn't help the wibble factor at all. Nope. *shakes head*

*sulks off to watch the commercial again*

To the SciFi Channel

Re: Your ad with the alien in Oliver Twist's workhouse

No one wants to adopt the SciFi channel, not because it is alien or weird--lots of us LIKE alien and weird--but because you specialize in Grade Z monster movies and WWE wrestling.

Get rid of the giant animals that devour everything and the people who fake beating each other up, and focus the SciFi Channel on, y'know, SCIENCE FICTION.

Then we'll talk.

Sincerely,

Gehayi

P.S. By the way, taking off The Dresden Files when it was doing better in the ratings than any of the shows that you DID renew was a spectacularly dumb move. Just sayin'.

P.P.S. Though not as dumb as having your last two presidents announce that you're trying to gear the programming away from a nerd demographic. Guys--this is the SciFi channel. You're supposed to be Nerds R Us!

oh, jesus christ! that is so sad!

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

I'd adopt you in a heartbeat, Skiffy, if you stopped mutilating Doctor Who.

Love,

OMG WHY?! Thats so depressing! I want to adopt the little guy! I'll take him in!

Geez... ET meets Oliver Twist after the Slytherins beat him up a bit...

And the point of that micro!melodrama was...?
