Lost Fan Club
I don’t mean to sound bitter here, but I despise when something really cool sells out. Now I have found this Lost Fan Club and all you have to do is send them $32.95 plus $8.00 shipping and handling (there are even higher shipping fees for our friends outside The States) and look what all you get:
* A “Namaste” T-Shirt, available only through the club, yours to wear proudly out amongst the masses. Specify size (and shipping destination) when ordering by clicking the appropriate button below. (yeah, proud that I am supporting you leeches)
* Exclusive Dharma Key Necklace as seen in the season two finale “Live Together Die Alone” This amazing collectible is limited to the first 3,000 folks who sign up for the kit. Please order soon to guarantee that you receive this highly prized item. (so exclusive in fact that I might not even get one!)
* Wanted poster of Kate (um, yeah, I’ll hang it right beside my N’Sync poster)
* Frequent flyer card of Dr. Jack Shephard (this will come in handy when exactly?)
* Airline Ticket of John Locke (think they would take this at the airport?)
* 2 Bumper Stickers: 10800 and WalkaboutTours (if Lost is off in 3 years from now chances are that I will still have my car. It would be like a political sticker long after the election. Not so much)
* Hurleys Lottery Ticket (for this much money it better darned win for me too!)
* Dharma Swan logo black carrying bag (this I might use)
* The Pearl Hatch logo decal (at least it’s not a permanent sticker)
* Four full color 5 by 7 lithos (well, my daughter’s school pictures were getting kind of boring. I could replace them with these. She’d appreciate that I’m sure)
* Swan logo patch (didn’t we patch our jeans back in the 70’s?)
Why can’t I just be a fan for free? What happened to the clubs where you send them your name and you get a nice card that you had to write your own name on? Heck, I’d take a secret decoder ring to remind me to drink my Ovaltine at this point!

Yeah, and I’m sure they crank out all this crap overseas somewhere for a few pennies. I want to shout “SHOW SOME DIGNITY!” but then I realize it’s a tv show and it can’t hear me and the few creatives behind the scenes that care have to compromise their dignity to the fat cats at the network in order to keep the show alive. Ah, the yin and yang of capitalist entertainment, eh?
ps, What the heck is “namaste”?
pss, I’d rather have a shirt that said Ovaltine. That would be more cool.

PS: I think namaste is the Korean way to say “goodbye” or “good day.”

[...] This is weird. You can go to Timothy Yarger’s site and buy prints for $75 or personalized prints with a few *added touches* for $1200. I like this show but for $75 I could join the fan site (remember all the goodies?), buy a figurine and then go get myself some dinner. Sorry buddy, maybe during Season One you would have had some buyers. [...]
