You know what Fred needs an online show? Emperor Fred...

"SHOOO Bop!" I'd watch that.

Plus, the Muppets could use all the publicity they could get right now.

Just a reminder, everyone has until the end of today to vote. The Muppets Studios has requested that everyone here takes the time to vote if you haven't done so already.

Go to the Webby Awards website, register and vote. The Muppet video is in the “Online Film & Video Ballot (Music Category).” The Webby Awards are some of the most prestigious on-line awards and the Muppets need your support to bring home a win.

Beaker's "Ode to Joy" and other viral Muppet videos are here...

I'd be more than happy to vote ... but I tried registering and it never gave me the activation code. I tried twice. *shrugs*
I was having the same trouble but finally found the email with the activation code in my spam folder. Just a thought.

Come on everyone go vote! We need to make sure Beaker wins! :eek:

WE DID IT! ! ! !

That is INCREDIBLE! What a huge step forward for the Muppets, Muppet Studios, and Disney's plan for the characters. It's things like this that keep me being proud to be a Muppet fan! It was obvious the huge voting push from us here at MC that propelled Beaker to the win! Great job, Muppet fans! We came out in full-force and showed the world we have a voice!

Now... I say we all go watch the video in celebration.

:eek:

You know, I'm really glad that Beaker won. I REALLY wanted to vote for that video, really I did... but no matter what I did, and what I tried, I just couldn't access the site, and my web browsers, both of them, gave me that blank page with the status bar saying "done." I felt that if he lost it would have been my fault.

Well, good Doctor, clearly it was the thought that counts! And you mentally voted for the kid, and he won because of it, and you know it!
