For some of those show, can I mention that what they really need is better writers?
Oh, look at the pretties!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aw, man, the Office Fans Christmas Fund fell through. Goddamn legal reasons. Well, I guess the Actor's Fund gets more money from me instead.

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 don't understand why they can't divvy it all up into amex gift certificates and mail them to the crew.

I don't know what the issue is either.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
All it needs is one person to cry 'Fraud' in any way, shape or form and it'd all kick off.
The studios didn't accept the pencils (surprised, you are not), so they loaded them back on to the trucks. That's direct action for wimps, man!

I feel like the Charlie Brown of fandom.

I think the pencils thing played out quite well, to be honest, as the direct action stuff is clearly getting the AMPTP in a tiss. AMPTP.com is genius, too -- I'm almost certain the AMPTP will try and sue to get the name now.
Watching people chant 'Thank you fans' on the video was pretty surreal and mildly scary, though.

It isn't having any effect at all on AMPTP. They basically issued a press release calling the WGA a bunch of childish clowns. The whole press release could have just had the word, "WhatEV" written 400 times. Complemented by a few @@ for punctuation.

Our wings are not tired
When I was working inside of the Rat company I watched them intentionally bankrupt a number of small companies just so that they could snag the intellectual property they liked cheap. These studios are huge and evil and they really don't care what the public things. The fact is that most of the actions is like more like the Titanic hitting an ice cube, not an ice berg.
