ABC’s canceled “FlashForward” was predicated on a worldwide “blackout” in which everyone lost consciousness for two minutes and 17 seconds. To protest the show’s cancellation, fans will stage their own mass blackout in front of ABC buildings in several different cities. In a related story: wow, there are fans of “FlashForward”?
Fans of the show will gather in front of ABC network and affilate offices in New York, L.A., Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta on June 10 and stage a blackout of their own.
That’s right. For two minutes and 17 seconds, fans of the show are going to pretend to be passed out in front of ABC offices. [Variety]
I wonder if those people have any idea of both how long and how short 2:17 is on the clock. Like, it’s a long time to lie on the sidewalk and pretend to be passed out while passersby wonder what the hell you’re doing and kids poke you with sticks. And at the same time it’s practically too short to be noticed. ABC executives could be taking a dump and miss the entire event. “Hey, I was in the crapper, did I miss anything?” “Nothing worth seeing.”

If some of the people pretending to be passed out are teens, I’d say this is an aggressive plan to trick Polanski to come back to America.
Tough break, Lost fans. These guys could have eventually challenged you for psycho fan supremacy.
This is the perfect opportunity to test out my new shipment of chloroform.
I think we have a front runner for this years “most worthless people in America” award. Be proud “Flash Forward” cancellation protesters.
Those puppies are sooo cute
“Hey, I was in the crapper, did I miss anything?”
Nah, Hank just said the word “boner” though.
This is “Just” stupid.
I look at this as a chance to really explore my foot fetish.
Anyone else really want to wait outside ABC with poking sticks now?
Polanski wouldn’t try anything. Unless he causes a young girl’s blackout, he won’t find much sport in the sodomy that would follow.
Btw, I actually liked the show. Not happy about the cancellation but what are you gonna do? Pretend to be a character of the cancelled show in front of the studio? You’d have to be crazy and really freaking sad to do shit like that for a goddamn tv show.
I really hate any retard with an unhealthy obsession for a piece of entertainment*.
*With the exception of my obsession with hot women wearing high heels while having sex on video of course.
It isn’t so much about the Cancellation as it is the fact that ABC just cancels shit by some lame ass Neilson ratings crap that only gets a select few. They have the right to protest in front of ABC studios and show ABC that they do not agree with a decision they might have made. Least they are doing something. When have ya’ll ever done anything that ever made a difference in ya’lls sorry excuse for a pathetic life!
i think you all smell.
really bad.
