this was reported by snstara on the Cylon Alliance board, letters to advertisers do count

Farscape fans were pissed off enough about "Scare Tactics" to start writing advertisers. The thread is here:

http://www.watchfarscape.com/forums/...5&pagenumber=1

The short version is that letters to Prestone, Proctor & Gamble, and Energizer got direct responses: they pulled their ads from "ST".

The ratings for "Scare Tactics" were:

3/31-4/6: 1.6
4/7-13: 1.4
4/14-20: 1.2
4/21-25: 0.8

Notice the downward spiral. I'll try to "scare" up more recent ratings when I can, but if it's anything like this...

FYI, "Tremors" has gone from a 2.0 to a 0.8 in the same time span - probably why Skiffy's shelved it till June.
Advertisers are less ego-centric than Network or Studio bosses: Consumers matter because shareholders get upset when consumers buy less product.
