Hollywood writers are on strike. We’re already screwed with late night television, and scripted shows could go into reruns next.
Yes, it will be annoying if the strike affects our TV watching, but the idea of the picket line bothers me more.
Are the studio executives unaware of their writers striking? Is this why they need picket lines? So, when the bosses come to work and they see the picket lines they think “Oh yeah, no one’s writing new material. I better put that on my ‘to do list.'”?
If I were asked to be in a picket line, I’d refuse and go watch some cartoons or something. Shouldn’t I enjoy my striking experience? The fact that I’m not at work should me more than enough to let them know I’m not working.
WTF?
