Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-pink-skins dept.

jangobongo writes "SciFiWire.com reports that fans of Star Trek Enterprise have succeeded in placing a full-page ad in the LA Times. The ad will urge someone to pick up the show for a fifth season. According to the official fan site, a Star Trek Enterprise fan working for the LA Times has arranged a special deal for a discounted ad. Donations collected to date have covered the cost of the ad which will be located in the "A" section of the paper on Feb. 21."

    Is this story an ad for an ad?

    They should have taken out an ad instead calling for the involuntary euthanasia of Rick Berman. I'd eat Alpo for a month to come up with the money to get behind that.

    > Enterprise is by far the worst Star Trek series of all time, why save it?

    They want to postpone the start of the next series, which will be even worse.

    My campaign to save Webster in the late 80's didn't succeed and I don't see why this campaign will either.

    Emmanuel Lewis, one day, you'll be back if it's the last thing I do.

    How about covering the hull of the enterprise in ads like a formula 1 race car?

    Seeing a big Viagra ad splayed across the top of the saucer section would be worth watching the show again...

      That would be too obvious. Instead they could have product placement by having products mysteriously warp into the future and appear on Archer's desk.
