Argh - f***ing writers

Well, for the day things are looking up. There's still the weekend - who knows what tomorrow will bring?

I'm mad as hell at the writers guild. Look, I watch a very small amount of network TV, but would prefer the production of that continues undisrupted. But moreover, why aren't the writer's like the UAW? Why don't the strike on a particular network? It would seem to be more effective. Let's take Fox for example - say Fox came to an agreement. The other networks would be fucked. Fox would have new shows - while paying the writers for online material - and no one else would. Come on, everyone would rather watch some new programming than reality TV, right? Okay, that's probably not true. Additionally, I've been favoring NBC lately, so I'd hope they come back first. But anyway - 0.0001% hardly seems worth it for the execs? Can you offer services as a half-arse replacement writer? Not as good, but better than nothing? Is that cool??

Well, I hope it ends soon. TV is great great escape from reality. Without it (like for the pass couple months - FU Sharp) I have to turn to videogames and the internet - hardly as mindnumbing as the tube. So - here's to hoping they give you whatever you want - screw the execs.

Do I get flagged for using profanity? No one will read this anyway.
