I'm not sure IMDb news understands satire:
Jon Stewart became the first late-night TV host to express criticism of demands by the Writers Guild of America. Returning to the air Monday night without his writing staff, Stewart at one point ridiculed the WGA's demand to be paid for shows that are downloaded from the Internet. "If you download a show on an iPod, do you think people should get paid for that?" he asked. "If you were to walk [into] a Hickory Farm with cheese on a stick, you wouldn't pay for that. No -- that's promotional cheese. That's what a show on an iPod is, promotional cheese."
IT'S A JOKE.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the WGA strike, but Axium payroll services is closing all of its offices:

maybe he needs to work on his sarcasm voice, P-C. *snerk*
Yeah, I get it. I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't really care about the clothes and I kind of enjoy some of the montages and the nervous, rambly acceptance speeches. To me that's the part that celebrates the art and the people who make it.
I do too. Do you think it is a coincidence that we all work in theatre?
Yup, me too. And I don't work in theatre now, but I did.
Kristen, are you sure that it is just 2 days? Because I think I am on day 4 and he has yet to hit his thesis. I think I understand his discursive style in speaking and the point of it, but he shows his love of Kierkegaard on his sleeve and in his presentation style.
Murder, Unscripted
... put together by the L&O actors (I think most of them are from Criminal Intent, which I never watched.) It's hysterical.
"Her mom did it!"
"A killer."
"A killer?"
"A homicidal killer."
"You usually say more."
"Do I?"
Heee!
Love it. Also love the HLotSness of it.
"And then, um, the cat scratched her? Is that...possible?"
So, what
is
the situation with writers like John Oliver?
Last night on the Daily Show, he did a short bit with Jon Stewart where he said that, while he
is
a member of the WGA, his work visa prohibits him from striking (with the penalty being deportation). What a bind!
