]]> jericho-termination-01-thumb-thumb What, you didn’t think the rabid supporters of CBS’ recently canceled show Jericho were done did you? The Tampa Tribune reported that Nielsen Media Research’s Oldsmar, Fla. headquarters received what its officials say is the first protest on its record Tuesday. It came in the form of $1,212 worth of salted, still in the shell peanuts. That was 21 50 lb. bags of peanuts for those counting at home.

Those, of course, were a loving gift from Jericho fans protesting Nielsen’s role in the show’s cancellation. Jericho fans believe Nielsen’s method of compiling ratings is outdated and helped lead to the show’s March cancellation.  Nielsen donated the peanuts to a good cause, area food bank America’s Second Harvest.
