Fran Drescher is Using a Stamp — Page 5

Kad, I love having signed stuff. I have signed posters all over the place.

Asking why someone would want them is like asking why someone would want peanut butter. Because they like it. It's all a matter of preference. But most people think it's "cool" to be the people who jump on others for wanting these and make them feel bad for it.

I think the people jumping onto this are just jumping onto the people who have jumped on Fran Drescher for using a stamp instead of a sharpie.

I don't begrudge anyone having a collection of signed merchandise - I just think that getting outraged that an actor didn't sign it the way one would like is a bit absurd. Particularly when the merchandise will end up under glass in most cases anyway.

And I'll say it again - If this were Bernadette or Patti, the outrage would be heard from space.

See, I don't have a problem with her using a stamp. If she wants to do that, whatever. My problem is with BC/EFA offering it up as original, by not saying that it's stamped. That's what pisses collectors off, and rightfully so.

Of course not and that's the point. And the people who spend a couple hundred dollars to get one of these, clearly do value these things.

But nothing has been misrepresented from a legal standpoint; legally, the BC/EFA merchandise bears Drescher's siganture - unlike a forgery of art. She can, and probably has, used it on any number of legal documentation.

^ You know that's not why 99% of people donate.

And while technically it "from a legal standpoint" you're right, they are still offering these posters and selling them giving the impression that she did in fact sign them.

Because she did- legally and semantically.

If you took it to court, you'd be laughed out of it.

My earlier comment was referring to the fact that while Idina may beautifully sign the poster people PAY for, she will literally make a slash on a Playbill she signs at the stage door. Should those people be irate and pissed? Why isn't she signing her AUTOGRAPH. Do only people who pay for it deserve a nice one? I mean, where does this nonsense end.

"Please, use a Pen then."

If Fran used a pen when everyone else used a silver Sharpie you or some other queen would throw a s@#fit that it didn't match. Lets be real.

I think the signature matches beautifully and let's be honest, this wont be a sought after item for resale so in demand that people would be paying someone to authenticate the signature.

Take a deep breathe.

The cast of Once was selling color Xeroxes of a cast photo with signatures and billed it as containing "the autographs of the entire cast". Why did no one blow them up on Twitter?

That doesn't change anything. We are both right- I choose to had an interest in her, and she chooses to respond in that manner.

@ Bettyboy72- if you really think I would get mad at having a signature in pen instead of a stamped one then. I better stop before I get nasty. Also when Idina signed for me at the stage door, I did not get a slash- I got her first name.

"I choose to had an interest in her, and she chooses to respond in that manner."

Celebrities are not beholden to you because you decide to be their fan.

If I put words in your mouth, your posts would be a lot more interesting.

"This thread is just extremely conceited to me. It's basically saying "I'd rather Fran Drescher get extremely sick by signing every single Playbill thrown at her than for her to be a healthy human being."

Sad, isn't it. The people who purport to be fans are the most vicious and cruel-not fans at all. No empathy, no compassion. Very sad people.
