Second Comings: ‘John From Cincinnati’ Fans Still Have Faith In Their Surfing Messiah’s Resurrection

28 Sept 2007, Rootly.com

“The “save John From Cincinnati ad” taken out in today’s THR is probably a case of too little, too late as the quickly aborted surfing drama’s sets have been struck, its cast scattered, and its creator already tasked with dreaming up a new world in which his characters can communicate in a language primarily comprised of expletives. But if we’ve learned anything from the Jericho’s successful Nuts! campaign, it’s that the only way that fans can have their voices heard is by annoying TV executives with non-stop deliveries to their places of business, hoping that the constant presence of handtruck-pushing men in brown shorts in their offices wears down their defenses.Accordingly, we’d recommend that the Save John alliance redirect its ad-sales budget into the purchase of thousands of dildos for immediate shipment to HBO’s headquarters, sending a message that the network’s fucking-obsessed programmers made a grave mistake when they decided to make Tell Me You Love Me the focus of their post-Sopranos schedule instead of their beloved Cincinnatian.
