Letter from the WGA


This afternoon, I was lucky enough to speak with one of the writers from The Daily Show! The WGA was striking outside the Time Warner Building in NYC, and he handed me a flyer. Unfortunately, I didn't get his name, but we did have a short conversation. He was really nice and asked me to help spread the word. So, here's the flyer he gave me.

I was already a WGA supporter, and I know there have been a lot of WGA posts recently, but I like the list of execs on the back.

Also Time Warner Building-related: I saw Vince Vaughn there today, too. Tall actor is tall.

Ironically, that was a poorly written flyer.

I guess I'll have time for lots of movies, school work, and books. Not too horrible.

We're only asking for a fair share. That, and we're demanding that everyone else in the entire industry joins in our strike even when it's still possible for them to continue production.

well, I think that they know that the more people they pull from productions, the more likely the studios will be to relent and come to an agreement so it can end.

It's a lot like fighting a war by bombing the peasants, really. Feels cowardly to me, and yes, a lot like bullying.

My friends and I definitely just called ABC, CBS, and NBC's numbers. Multiple times.

NBC more than others because we'll still be Office fans on our deathbeds.

We were fairly polite, we just basically said "Hi, we're loyal fans of your network and we're distressed to hear that our favorite shows are being affected by this strike. Please pay the writers. Thanks!"

What else is new? The entertainment industry is made up of executive swine who feed off the thoughts and ideas of those beneath them... taking all the profit from other peoples creativity.
