The Shout! Factory, makers of
Freaks and Geeks on DVD, has decided to offer a
Freak-y reward for voters in the upcoming Tuesday USA elections. Here's what their announcement says:
Get Out and Vote!
We're all about rewarding good behavior here at Shout! Get yourselves over to the voting booths on November 2, get proof of fulfilling your civic duty and we'll send you a CD or DVD. Just send us a voter's stub, an "I Voted" sticker or some other proof of voting and we'll send one of the following: a fabulous Shout! Factory CD packed with a bunch of the music we released this year OR a Freaks And Geeks DVD sampler, which features three episodes from the award-winning series. (While supplies last. Shout! Factory is not responsible for submissions or prizes lost in the mail. We are the sole judge of what constitutes convincing proof, so no handwritten notes from your, uh, "congressman," please.) Mail us your voter's proof and DVD or CD preference, along with your return address, to:
I Voted, Brian
c/o Shout! Factory
2042-A Armacost Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90025
My copy's already on-the-way. How? I voted already! Yep, this past Saturday, because my state offers no-questions-asked early voting during a two-week period in October. According to the news, more people early-voted this year across the nation than ever before. Good job, all! For those of you waiting until Election Day, though, make sure you get to the polls on Tuesday (while you're out buying the latest TV-on-DVD releases).
I'm not sure what the episode are going to be on the
Freaks and Geeks DVD, but Shout! Factory was kind enough to send over the artwork for the cover:
GET OUT AND VOTE! Shout! Factory wants you to go express yourself and help shape the future of the United States, and TVShowsOnDVD wants you to as well. More than 3/4's of the nation said in a recent survey that this year's presidential election will be the most important one to occur so far in our lifetimes. It's so simple to be part of it. And don't forget, if you think your right to vote has been infringed upon, and you've been turned away unfairly from the voting booth, then
the National Constitution Center wants to know about it: call 1-866-MYVOTE1; we all deserve a chance to be heard!
UPDATE (11/1/04)
The episodes on this sampler disc are "Pilot Episode (Director's Cut)", "Beers and Weirs", and "Tricks and Treats". Thanks to J. Ching for passing this on to us; apparently he got ahold of one of these before my copy arrived today!
