Gosh. No JOKE. I mean, the writers are completely replaceable. The television shows on today ( with the exception of 24 ) are just pathetic. Horrible shows, not funny , not clever , not entertaining. We definitely need a fresh outlook. Come back to reality. And, ummmmm, in the REAL world, you either do the job you were hired for, or you don't. and if you don't you move on. Nuff said. This royalties and commission on past work is laughable. Imagine getting a few cents every time someone drove a car you sold as a car salesman. Get a grip. People don't even want to tip in restaurants. Writers residuals. You don't own this stuff?? I bet you can all remember when you were so grateful to be hired the first time. Where's that gratitude?

Who cares about the writers, they make a killing. 200k per year. No one cares. Go home. Lets get some new writers because they can't be any worse than the crap that's been on tv for the last 50 years. If these writers are so good where are there great american novels? No where, becuase they can only write hack material for TV. Go home over paid cry babies!!!!! Cry babies!!!! Get a real job!

99% of America doesn't care about this pathetic strike. Based on the financial news du jour, it's really rough out there. Writers! Try living on commission only as I do in a very sucky real estate market so fuck you. You make $200K per year on average so get over yourself. The studios hire you to write a product. You write it, you turn it in, the check cashes. Services rendered, you're done. If the studio wants to throw it in the garage or sell it on the Internet they can do it. It's their property. You were paid regardless if the work turns out great or loses a ton of money for the person who paid you. Why don't you share in some of the risk? How about if you don't get paid a penny until the production is in the black? Oh no! We can't do that! We're too important. I am not a studio boss but I actually side with them on this. They take all the risk. You're a hired hand. And to the actors, you should cross the picket line as often as you can to work. This facade of support for the strike is weird. I bet you really wish you could cross so you can get the last of your paychecks that is about to roll in. I say fire all writers who are in unions, start over and bring back a capitalism to Hollywood that runs all the way down to coffee boy. It's an "at will" employment state. If you like your job and your employer likes you, you can stay. If not you can quit or be fired. Like the majority of American workers.

I work in the industry and I hope this fucking strike goes on forever. Go, producers! Make it work without the fucking talent. Middle America couldn't give a shit what you put on the air and in theaters - they'll see it anyway!

Notice that the supporters are people who haven't had any hits or work worth mentioning lately.
