I think that would get an audience outside of fandom.
How? Outside fandom and the industry, who else has ever heard of Mutant Enemy?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'd imagine they could get a press person or two to cover it. It's not the world, but it's probably better than, say, that NYT article Joss was talking about the other day. Which is a start.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I wish I could help in some way. I feel an odd solidarity. I think that's why the NYT hit piece was so irritating to me.
Maybe the writer was just pissy that all his content is online and he's getting paid the same.
I think. Maybe someone should ask.

I was with some people tonight who just "didn't get" the strike. They kept saying "they've been paid once, why do they care". When I pointed out that everybody else gets paid for every time the medium is broadcast, they were very confused.

...and now I am educated. Very cool stuff indeed. I just wish that there was something I could do from here.

I think that posted youtube link says it about as well as can be.

Why aren't the writers asking for more?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's a good video. I love that it is being distributed over the internet. Kinda helps make the point.

I'm sorry if my fly-by post caused a kerfuffle, Kat and Fay. I think ita best summed up why they used teachers as a comparison, and Tim best summed up why they shouldn't've.
Without context though, it doesn't mean much. (Because numbers? Are tricksy things which can be bent to the will of any evil doer.) I searched but I couldn't find the article again (Curse my tendanacies to both follow links willy and nilly and to clear my cached history!)
I don't think I've really grasped the general ignorance on display on line before. I guess most of my reading has been fandom based. Or fact based. Or I just haven't cared about the issue at hand. Now that it comes down to debate... Man, the internets are a scary scary place, and people are amazingly selfish beasties (who really, really, don't deserve clever writing on their televisions.)

I can just imagine when The Office returns, the breaking a story meeting for the next episode. Let's call this one Promotional Material..
