Guy Dumps Girl Over Firefly, Makes Music Video


Today's life rule: if your significant other doesn't like Firefly, then it's time to dump them. Oh, and make a music video out of it.

We've all been in this situation: we meet someone, go on a date, sparks fly, and then try to share our favorite nerdy TV show/movie with them. For me, said movie is The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. For Mikey Mason, it was <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Complete-Nathan-Fillion/dp/B0000AQS0F/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299695784&sr=8-1>Firefly, and his girlfriend didn't like it. So he dumped her, wrote a song about it, and filmed a music video.

The song tells about how Squedge's girlfriend was, for lack of a better term, perfect: She looked like a supermodel, had a good job, liked comic books and videogames, "wears steampunk lingerie", but her lack of love for Joss Whedon's Firefly was apparently a deal breaker (particularly how she didn't cry when Wash died). As a result, Mason dumped her and kicked her out of his house.

It's hard to tell if this story is really true or not. though commentary that accompanies the video implies that it (mostly) is. The song is kinda cute, but I'm really hoping that he made the situation up. I mean, dumping someone that awesome simply over a TV show seems like something only a soulless member of the Alliance would do.

This made me laugh a lot harder than it should have.

Wow, there's somebody else in the world that didn't care for Firefly. Obviously, this woman is my soulmate.

She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine.

Steampunk Lingerie.
I'm ambivalent. It sounds sexy in theory, but Victorian undergarments were not designed to thrill.
Th inclusion of steam is an even more daunting prospect.

I love Firefly.
But if half the stuff in this song is true, he is an asshole and a fool.

I feel that it is my nerdy duty to point out that Wash didn't technically die in the Firefly series (shut up it's not a spoiler if it's in the OP).

That being said, it's a cool song. I also hope the guy made the situation up though (or at least had other things to dump her over).

Luckily my girlfriend loves Firefly, but refuses to finish the series with me because the undying void that's left after. WHYYY FOX.

Oh god yes I love that movie.

OT: Meh, this is kinda... stupid.

Oh no, you don't like a series that I do? THIS IS OVER. Also, I'm writing a song about your poor poor taste in fiction.

...that's just petty. Jeez.

And in the likely case that this is a joke, well... Meh. Kinda stupid anyway.

Really though? I think it's blindingly obvious that it's a joke.

It was a great show... but to dump someone for it (...where is the love?) just isn't right. Well, she'll be probably better off without that moron anyways. (If you'll consider to diss Deadwood however...:p) Nah.. He'll probably have enough time in his hands to apply for a job as dictator in some North-African country now where opinions are dust in the wind..:S
