Strangely, most companies are scrambling for this "viral" brand of marketing. They are interfering with an event that costs them, as a studio, nearly nothing. It requires no print making or shipping costs, requires no advertising budget for print, television, radio,in theaters,and they don't have to expend any man hours for it. Yet, at some level continues to drive the sale of dvds, and various other merchandise. The sing-a-long extends this television's show past its shelf life by keeping Buffy fans engaged and active as a community and hungering for more. It rejuvenates the cult and ensures that long after the last episode aired, new folks are still discovering the show and spending their money buying all related and licensed materials from this company. This decision smacks of pure, pound foolishness and exemplifies how archaic their organization is. It alienates a group of people that clearly have some expendable income. And ultimately it is the move of a bully exacted against a bunch of nerds; total power play. Lame. They are falling back on this as a rights issue and claiming that they are losing money.

What a huge compliment to the 'talents that be' that a group of loyal fans, who sought to pay homage to an under appreciated show, are met with such bureaucratic tangles. Shame Fox executives, shame, shame. I guess they (FOX) took their marbles and went home. Maybe their pissed that they didn't come up with the idea. Bureaucracy in all its forms is an ugly thing.
