First everyone was nuts. Now they're crackers.
A small number of die-hard fans of NBC's recently canceled drama The Black Donnellys plans to ship nearly 300 pounds of Zesta crackers (about 45,000 crackers) to HBO executives beginning next week in hopes of persuading the premium cable outlet to pick up the moribund show.
Fans were inspired by the recent success of Jericho fans and vow to keep sending crackers to HBO as long as donations hold out. In June, Jericho fans inundated CBS with tons of nuts, eventually persuading the network to exhume the post-apocalypse drama after it was dropped from its fall schedule.
Donnellys fans said they selected Zesta crackers because they are featured in a lounge sign belonging to one of the show's main characters.
Copycats suck. But also, it would have been cooler if they had chosen crackers because the show is about white people. I thought that was why until I got to the last sentence.
