Ok, I am going to try to get some more freepers to actively bump this thread.
Hopefully, it will do some good. BTW, I think that the petition site being down might be a good sign, if they are being flooded by signatures.
The Futurama comparison does boggle the mind.
Why is this petition not being freeped?
