I can't think of anything in the world with a lower level of necessity than this.

We could replace all of them with machines. I know where we can get some used garbage trucks.

Screw the WGA -- we watch too much TV anyway.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

exposes all those talkshow hosts. They're now shown to be even more stupid than I always thought they were, they don't even write their own texts (let alone come up with them on the spot as they want to make you think during their "live" performances).
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I think we should be hearing more about that Cyclone in bangladesh that has killed 3000 people and less about when our most favoritist tv show comes back on the air. Who gives a **** about a bunch of nob shines that think they deserve 6 figures instead of 5. This world needs to get its priorities right.

You are all forgetting the most important reason that the strike must end soon. If the masses are not pacified with the mindless drivel on the shiny screen, they may actually begin to look around them and take an active interest in things the church and state prefer they ignore.

Free thinking americans! Dear God. I take back my previous statement. More coverage of the writers strike and less coverage of Bangladesh. Because media coverage is totally going to make the strike end faster. Its not just adding more fuel to the fire at all...

Yes, see the coverage of the strike keeps them focused on the lack of preferred fodder and makes them crave it all the more!

I was thinking more about the strikers themself. One of the main things that is keeping them going is the fact that everything is paying attention to them. If you stop paying attention to them then eventually they will go away. Hell even hire more writers. Writers that are happy with the wages being offered.

Many of you obviously have no idea what the strike is about. It is not about there salaries it is about a large company that does not want to give them money for stuff they write. The main issue is with what they are calling "new media", mostly internet streaming or downloading. As of now the writers do not receive any royalties for that kind of media and the royalties that were offered, at negotiations, was far to low. Yes America watches way to much TV and hopefully the strike teaches them do something other than poor useless information into their heads.
