Since the nominations for the Emmy’s have been made, a blatant fight is being fought to pick the trophy. Patrick Meighan, a writer with Family Guy TV Show has taken this campaigning to new and unforeseen heights by openly doing so for the shows win at this year’s Emmys. “I’ve never seen such a naked trolling for votes”, was the comment of one such recipient of Meighan’s e-mail. Here’s Patrick Meighan’s uncensored e-mail:
Hey, friend-of-Pat. Hope you’re doing well.
Prolly you’ve heard that Family Guy got nominated for an Emmy for Best Comedy today. It’s the first time that an animated show has been nominated in that category since 1961 (when The Flintstones lost to The Jack Benny Show). 1961! Alaska had just become a state. Internet porn about pregnant chicks was still a crazy, futuristic dream. And the leading cause of death in our nation among males age 18 to 40 was whistling at white women.
We at Family Guy are simultaneously thrilled and confused by today’s development. Mostly thrilled, though. And since I, in particular, am new to this whole Emmy scene, I’m gonna violate longstanding rules of Emmy decorum and beg you — if you happen to be a member of the TV Academy — to please consider wasting your Best Comedy vote on our cartoon picture!
Note that Academy members who wish to vote in this category NEED TO SIGN UP TO VOTE (see instructions and link below).
And if you, yourself, aren’t an Academy member but happen to know someone who is (and who is amenable to voting for homosexual cartoon babies and poop and rape jokes and whatever else), please forward this information to ‘em.
THE DEADLINE FOR THEM TO SIGN-UP IS FRIDAY JULY 24.
After that date, no one else will be able to join the voting pool. So, probably the pool of actual voters will be relatively small — all the more reason to get this to as many people as possible as soon as possible. Your vote (or your friend’s vote) could make the difference between Family Guy losing to 30 Rock by lots and lots of votes and Family Guy losing to 30 Rock by just lots of votes. That second thing
is what we’re shooting for, right there.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Pat Meighan
Do leave your shocked reactions in the comment section for other fans. I am too shocked to comment on this brazen attempt to win an award.
