::sigh::

You might remember the You Say Potato 2005 campaign. Our attempt to get a shout-out from Charlie Kaufman on Oscar night was a raging success, aside from us not actually getting a clear shout-out -- lots of you guys participated and almost all took it in the right spirit. Almost all. I received a Cease & Desist-style email a while ago and, after some back-and-forth, the upshot is that BCK.com will permanently close down at the end of this month. It was a hell of a ride, though. More on this later. And before you ask: no, the party-pooper is not Charlie or any of his representatives.
