One: King of the Nerds is a show that our society needs!
There are so many more nerds and geeks out there that feel all alone, isolated,
ridiculed, etc. The Nerd Army is here for them, but there is only so much we
can do to promote the awesomeness that is the Nerd. We need the show to reach a
larger audience – and so do you – Some nerds are turned off by the commercials and
think that the show is making fun of them. Everyone who watches the show knows
this isn’t true, but you’re making it very hard for casting to find the types
of nerds you’re looking for by how the show has been portrayed in your
commercials. I’ve heard this first hand from a member of the Nerd Army who
works in a comic book store and spent a whole day talking to customers about
King of the Nerds – Every single person who said they didn’t watch the show,
gave that reason. He talked to over 50 people that day and none of them watched
King of the Nerds. I wish I had Jack here to help me with the math and
statistics, but by my estimation, your viewers would double if people weren’t
so turned off by the ads for the show. I don’t know who is in charge of those
commercials, but they need to be more nerd-friendly and less oriented on
pulling in the viewers who want to see the typical reality TV drama. Don’t
worry about pulling in those viewers: I got your back and I’ve got good
connections. Why do you think I wanted to get Spencer and McCrae from Big
Brother 15 involved in my interviews of the season two cast members? And why
haven’t we seen Kayla on Conan O’Brien yet? SHE WAS CROWNED KING and Celeste
was on the show last year…. And Jack should really be booked for Jimmy Fallon
with Kelsey.
Two: You should have been looking for a season three cast immediately
following the finale. I don’t have cable, because I don’t have an actual job
right now, but are you even airing commercials to promote the casting call or
are you that scared to spend some money? I really should have listened to my
instincts the day the casting call was announced. I had such a great idea, but
I was told to only do what I was asked to do and out of respect for the people
involved, I didn’t implement it. It’s probably too late now, but I’m still
going to try and no one knows I’m doing this and I don’t care! I’ll apologize
later instead of asking for permission because desperate times call for
desperate measures and I think we’re in the desperate times segment of this
whole situation.
Three: Operation Desperate Times: I made a printable flyer.
The quality won’t be the best because I don’t have a high resolution file of
the image that casting used, but it’ll do. I want EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THIS
SHOW to print off the flyer, make some copies and post them wherever nerds
flock, and even the places you wouldn’t expect to find nerds. Please ask for
permission before you post these flyers – most shop owners and business will be
more than happy, but some do have policies so it’s best to ask. Focus on comic
book shops, game stores, book stores, libraries, hobby shops, etc. Any kind of
business that you think nerds would patronize – flyer it up! I feel like we’re
running short on time and I don’t want to mess with finding a new network to
pick up the show so I really need everyone in the Nerd Army to step it up. You say you love the show? Prove it. Tweet me
pictures of you posting these flyers all around your towns. Any copy place can
make black and white copies of the flyer and they won’t cost
a lot, barely $10 for 20 copies. My Twitter is @thedolphinpoet. If the poster below doesn't work right for some reason, email me at dolphinpoetmelissa@yahoo.com and I'll email you back with a PDF file.
