While the writers are again meeting right now with the studios in order to consider a new proposal to end the ongoing strike here's a funny little music video written and performed Boi and directed and edited by David Schlussel. Enjoy!

[Report this comment] Posted by: Doubtom on Dec 1, 2007 1:36 PM Current rating: 2 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Can we relegate this strike to the back pages for a spell? I'm tired of reading about it. Let's be realistic, even the lowest paid writer for Hollyweird is apt to be better off than the average worker in the "real world". They can always get a real job if they can't struggle by on their inflated salaries or become overpaid actors or even athletes. I'd like to see a bit more attention devoted to the real problem areas in this country. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: nough already!
