Yes, thanks to an organized fan effort, money was raised to take out this ad to show how much we Supernatural fans love and appreciate this creative genius behind the show that has affected all our lives. Not only was money raised for the ad, but $2,000 extra was raised and that money will be donated to charity. Congratulations to the fans who donated and pulled this together to make this long overdue recognition a reality. Also, thank you so much Eric Kripke for five wonderful seasons and all your dedication. We can never thank you enough, but hopefully this ad is a start!
For those that find the print hard to read, here's the transcript:
"To Eric Kripke,
Over the past five years, we've traveled the back roads of America with the Winchester brothers saving people, hunting things, and kicking ass at the family business. We fell in love with a 1967 Impala, classic rock and emotionally codependent brothers all thanks to you. It was your imagination and vision that brought Supernatural to life and imbued it with such heart and scope.
Thank you for the last five years of Supernatural. Thank you for letting Sam and Dean Winchester be a part of our lives. On whatever road you travel next, know that your fans will gladly shut their cakeholes and ride shotgun with you.
Thank you.
Organized and funded by Supernatural fans around the world.
"First of all, I love our fans. I love them to death. I love how passionate they are... We are so conscious and aware of our fans. We're making our show for the fans; we're not making the show for the network. We would never do anything to betray them." - Eric Kripke
WE LOVE YOU, TOO.

By the way had a great time there. Right now i am still in Barcelona enjoying a town I fell in love with.
That's beautiful, it's really moving and really shows the love that SPN fans have for this story and its characters.
It was a very heartfelt and meaningful message that proves how much we care for this awesome show that have been with us for 5 years now, that we have followed with all our heart and devotion and that have give us such a lovely emotions, heartbreaking situacions and the most beautiful relashionship and interaction between these brothers (that makes us forget that they are fictional and makes us care for them as if they are real people). I couldn't agree more with this tribute.
Thanks Eric Kripke for such an amazing trip, for making us know and love Sam and Dean Winchester and for bringing to life the Tv show that will stay in the memory of its true fans forever. Good luck in your proyects and thank God you are still going to be part somehow of the show that you created and have seen grow up for all these years. Thank you for all the things this show had teach us and put into our souls.
I've all ready seen Jared's dumbfounded reaction when he first heard of the ad, but I wonder what Kripke's was?
