Very funny, Kevin.
And since I am on a roll: I wish someone would give me ten million dollars and bring all the troops home from the middle east.

[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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

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
Shouldn't it point directly at the clowns at unitedhollywood?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
They should rename it unitedwank.com

HA! I think your next post, Kevin, should be translating the various Letterman related press releases into truthiness.
They should rename it unitedwank.com
I think someone already made that site. Only it's called Divided Hollywood.

I hadn't seen that Kristen - thanks. I've had a go at translating the Letterman thing, although I did it before coffee so it's a bit stupid.
I went to the MPTV fund website to link them up, and the page I landed on had a video entitled "IRA Support Video". For a second I was all, hang on, they tried to blow my best friend up years ago.

United Hollywood has announced StrikeTV, a streaming internet station.
The Guardian has an excellent article about it: [link]
It's basically an attempt by WGA members to launch a direct to consumer internet model themselves. They aim to have content going out by February sweeps.
ETA: I just had a thought about the Rob Thomas thing. Since Joss is doing BTVS and Angel still in comics, I can't see the WGA having an issue with Veronica Mars comics.

I go to bed and, when I wake, the whole world has gone strikewankeriffic. StrikeTV! Threats of FiCore! Skywriting at the Rose Bowl! I don't know where to begin...
I think I'll go to the gym and then, maybe, shopping.
I've had a go at translating the Letterman thing, although I did it before coffee so it's a bit stupid.
HA! I haven't looked yet but my translation would've been:
WGA says, "We made a deal with Dave because he's awesome. Plus, who doesn't want to stick it to Jeff Zucker?"
WWP says, "Dave is happy to have his writers back because he's awesome. How do you like us now, NBC?"
SAG says, "Everyone go on Letterman! He's more awesome than Jay!"
AMPTP says, "Damnit, why doesn't anyone think we're awesome? Dave's not even a REAL studio. We never him play our super secret cabal games."
Jay Leno could not comment through his tears of bitter frustration.

See, that's why you're a writer and I'm not. I wrote a load of bollocks.

And just like that, Kristen made my enjoyment of the holiday season complete with the mental image of Jay Leno crying like a baby.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I knew about Worldwide Pants, how long has there been a Worldwide Trousers?
I am so out of the loop...
