SOLIDARITY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
The Writers Guild has voted to strike. What do they want? Read, from AFP:
The dispute hinges on writers’ demands for a greater share of residual profits from television series sold on DVDs and money made from programs shown on the Internet, cell phones, and other new media outlets.
Studios make billions on this stuff, and the writers want their share. Fair enough I say. We at Brain Pan are supporting the strike. Good for them. I hope the studio’s have to run 2 million hours of crappy reality TV, (which by the way, doesn’t sell well on DVD), if they don’t see reason. As we’ll soon find out, without the ever crapped on, thankless work done by members of the WGA, the world will be reduced to a bunch of stupid actors standing around making crap up. GIVE THEM WHAT THEY’RE WORTH!
Oh, and if any studio needs a Scab, email me. I work cheap.
