Dearest Venturoos,
How goes your New Year’s resolutions? OK, you guess? Only so-so? Well, it may be time for you to tell your old resolutions to suck it. It may be time for a new New Year’s resolution, one with: Emotional highs and lows! A warm fuzzy feeling and the comforting buzz of the hive mind! Oh yeah, and the Venture Brothers. Trying to cut back on caffeine is looking pretty lame now, right?
This is our new-New Year’s resolution, and we sincerely hope you’ll adopt it as your own!
To make as big a stink on the Interwebs in the hopes that David Bowie would graciously agree to lend his voice to Season 5 of the Venture Brothers, thereby allowing hundreds of fanboys and girls to die happy (not to mention the show’s creators).
As you know, the Sovereign is none other than legendary rockstar and shapeshifter David Bowie. As such, Mr. Bowie holds the most revered position of any character on the show and frankly, it’s hard to imagine anyone else being better suited to voice him on the show.
Up to now, the Sovereign has been voiced by James Urbaniak, but as well performed and as lovingly crafted, the Venture Brothers deserves a shot at the genuine artifact.
So, what can you do to help? Sign the petition below and tell all your friends about it. Share this link on Facebook and Twitter. Forward it to everyone and ask them to do the same. Get creative and help us make this petition a sensation in 2011.
If the Internet have given us anything, it’s the power to reach out to people. If this petition winds up in David Bowie’s inbox, we all deserve a high-five. So, earn yourself some good geek karma and give back to your favorite show. Thanks for your time and support!
Sincerely,
The Venture Bros. Blog
& The Very Venture Vodcast

I want to participate, but have to ask: when’s the last time Bowie was seen in public?
(There’s been speculation he’s not well.)
bowie is awesome, but urbaniak’s impression is pretty damn great as a caricature.
i am just not sure that david bowie would be that funny as david bowie.
Urbaniak does a good Bowie impression but fans want the real deal!
It would make many people happy and it would completely blow our minds!!
Please do it!!
Wouldn’t Bowie submitting to internet stink be horribly disappointing? Do we want him to go from The Thin White Duke to Betty White? What price are we willing to pay for awesomeness?
Go team Venture, let’s do this.
…it would be wonderful if Stephen Colbert could come back as Dr. Impossible, too.
My favoret episodes are the ones when The Venture Brothers David Bowie character is featured. It would be wonderful if David Bowie would to voice work for the show.

It would be an awesome gesture acknowledging the love and respect we have for you.
It would be a very fun thing.
Bowie definitely needs to be featured more next season. Best character on the show, and in life.
