To quote the Boulder:
Yeah huh, we buried you in 'ROCK-A-LANCE!'
And PS: We're over our conflicted feelings about defeating a small, young yellow aquatic sponge. ;D

even though it really doesn't matter (The KCAs are the largest crock in award shows ever) I am VERY pleased Avatar won and is getting recognition.

I'm really happy that Avatar won the KCA for best animation my only complaint was the lack of recognition. The award was announced so under the table it just makes the victory seem hollow. The winner was annouced on that ticker thing under the TV and I bet the ticker was being pushed behind for some lame Barnyard advertisement. Seriously did Mike and Bryan even get a blimp?

I think the blimp went on display at the nicktoons studio and says, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Favorite Cartoon, KCA 2008. Then it gets all dusty.

No way ~ I completely cannot believe they won. There really must have been a lot of people filling that voting at the last minute... >.< So, that's amazing ~ hope it brings more recognition for the show.

Viacom discreetly exacted revenge for SB, check this out... VIACOM PRESS RELEASE: www.viacom.com/news/Pages/newstext.aspx?RID=1124423That's a spankin' press release, isn't it? Unfortunately it is logical to conclude that some portion of the high TV ratings and voter turnout for the 2008 KCAs had, I don't know, something to do with AVATAR and its zealot fanbase! Funny how despite all of that, we weren't mentioned at all. Grrrrrrrrr.

Ok... that just pisses me off.
I really wish M&B would do something about this.

Ok... that just pisses me off. I really wish M&B would do something about this. ~Must not succumb to conspiracy theories~ ~Must resist, must not assimilate~ You know you now have to wonder if Avatar was nominated purely as a guaranteed 'ratings and voting win' for the Nick KCAs in the first place? While we're all sitting here thanking our lucky stars Avatar was nominated at all, Nick is laughing all the way to the Nielsen ratings bank. I would really despise the thought that Nick thinks of Avatar fandom as nothing more than a bunch of crack-addicted rats with feeder bars. Throw 'em a bone. They will snarf it down and come back begging for more. Nick absolutely KNOWS how many Avatar votes made up the 88 million vote figure. Logic would dictate that the Avatar vote was a fairly high percentage comparatively. It really makes you wonder what is planned for the NYCC and if Mike and Bryan's impromptu cameo was prompted by the KCA deluge of fan support for Avatar.

It's stupid if they used us for votes and veiwers though. If nivk thinks that we're just some crazy rats in the dirt then they are wrong. That would be demeaning. The reason we voted is to show Avatar isn't some show no one likes. We voted to show if our fanbases can band together then we can win, and we did. But I can't help but wonder if nick used us.

I don't know. I'm really torn about it.
I mean if they used us deliberately to do exactly what they did in that press release, which was to showcase EVERY OTHER SHOW BUT AVATAR, when Avatar most likely was the reason why they could write the press release in the first place, then I'm beyond hacked.
But if our zealous fan support had ANYTHING to do with Mike and Bryan deciding to go to the NYCC and provide a S3 finale trailer and the other AWESOME extras that up until March 31st weren't even on the NYCC menu, then it was absolutely worth being used by Nick like a dirty dish rag.
I don't know. What can we really do about it now?
We won. It's done.
I just wish Avatar would have been mentioned in like half of a sentence. That would have been enough to pacify me.
