That must have been a fun day for ME fans, who have been itching to picket FOX for something, for years now.

Wrod.

I haven't been looking at all of the pics, thanks to my crappy dialup, but it's been fun looking at the special ones. I love the turtle, and it's great to see the LAistas that could make it.

I got all the info to donate to the BTL folks, and will be making the $400 donation from Buffistas.org, today.

Going back to this for a minute, we also donated the proceeds ($1600.00) from the Assistants Picket Lunch to the fund. So that's 2k going to a good cause!

i'm not really sure where to put this, but since it concerns streaming content on an official site, i'll put it here. it appears that abc.com is streaming MSCL. is this an attempt to subvert the dvd sales? the show is 13 years old and is the only not current show they are streaming. WUWT???

Maybe it's promotional.

In this instance, however, I can actually buy that reasoning somewhat. Giving people a taste of the show so that they'll buy the DVDs.

Now, if they keep putting episodes up, the argument falls apart.

They're trying to bribe JZ into taking their side!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pffft. Unless the streaming versions come with director, writer and actor commentary tracks, I'm not that cheap. But clearly I am the linchpin of their entire break-the-writers strategy. Poor move, AMPTP, poor move! Now I know, but you don't know that I know!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Why would ABC want to subvert current DVD sales? I can't imagine any studio wanting to see DVD sales go away. They make an insane amount of money off DVDs.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Indeed, DVD is a incredibly profitable area for studios. I think there's an argument it's promotional - people may well watch a few episodes and go 'Wow, that's really good, I'll buy the DVD'. Reality, though? Doesn't matter if it's promotional or not, somebody should still be getting paid for created works.
