I appreciate their point, but you're bang on about being proactive and positive. It would have been a great hoot if there was a site!

I saw that episode on Sunday and thought the first frame freeze was OK. It surprised, poked fun, and I enjoyed the humour. I think it would have had a lot more impact had they left it at that. The second time they did it I must admit to a little eye-rolling. I also wonder if they could have done it a little differently and worked in a way to send viewers to a website to see actual votes and perhaps how the story would have continued with the user input. Something like "we actually don't care about your vote and we'll continue the story as intended. But if you are interested visit www.etc... Might have poked fun and engaged users.
