This email was sent out to "Smallville" fans this morning:

So, Miles and I were sitting around the other day (which is what writers do when they can't write and their picketing shift if over) wondering what we can do to kick this Pencils2Moguls campaign up a notch. Don't get me wrong, we are stoked by the response so far, but we felt there must be something we can do to really light a fire under it going into the holidays.

Then the answer hit us -- the greatest criminal mind of our time -- Lex Luthor.

We will give the gift of Lex.

Well, not really since he is, after all, a fictional character, but we do have Michael Rosenbaum, one of the best young actors of our time (in our humble opinion). We thought, why not offer a challenge to some of these other shows who have devoted fanbases (that's right Battlestar and Buffy I'm talking to you!) and see whose fans can really deliver the goods (in this case, pencils).

So here is the skinny:

For every box of environmentally friendly pencils you buy at Unitedhollywood.com, your name will be entered into an e-raffle. We will then pick a winner at random and they will receive at phone call from Michael Rosenbaum thanking them for their support of both the cause and the show.

That is right, Lex Luthor will call you directly! Make sure you list SMALLVILLE as the show you are supporting when you click on the icon.

So, Craig, please spread the word far and wide.....and thank you all for your continued support and good wishes. We are all in this together.

Best,

Al Gough

That'd be so much cooler if I didn't have a friend who rolls with Mike on a regular basis, to the point of having him throw up on his shoes.

And my friend punched him.

That just stripped all of the Hollywood away for me.

He was still the voice of The Flash. S'till neat to me.

I think any contest that lets you talk to a favorite actor is a cool contest.

I just had to share my second-hand fame. :)

I understand that. It amazes me some of the people I kind of sort of know some times. And a lot of them say, "Oh, I'm not famous..." But really, anyone who is more famous than you is famous.

Radcakes promotional idea, writers. :) They're doing a great job of using all available tools. Most amusing and fannish strike evar.

...now if I only gave a shit about Smallville.

Yeah. It is a shame that show could be so much better than it is. I'm more interested in him because he was The Flash on Justice League. Though he did keep me watching Smallville much longer than I would have otherwise.

Dude, I'll buy some pencils on the off chance of getting to talk to Michael Rosenbaum. Rawr. :)

That was my thought too.
