For a ton of overweight, middle America that made the trip of a lifetime to NYC for the holidays to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and real live Broadway Show, the holiday is ruined. Stagehands are on strike and talks broke down.
The writers in L.A. are on strike in an unrelated demand to get paid for the work they produce. Seriously? Can you believe? The writer's strike in L.A. is the most annoying. Have you seen the YouTube videos of the people on strike? You'd think they were standing up against genocide in Darfur. So very self-righteous...as all people in L.A. are, right? That whole we make the world go around attitude they have and the whole time you're thinking...uhm...you work in movies you dumb shit, you aren't curing cancer.
The latest news was that CBS News writers were going on strike.
What will we do? Where will we turn for our news and entertainment? Everybody panic!
I, for one, am highly upset at all this because they're halting 24 and causing a rift in my relationship with my future husband, Jack Bauer.
Pay those people, please!
I heard a ticket sales-type person being interviewed about the stagehand strike, and she said she was just heart broken by how many people are being affected by it, like the "hundreds of children who are coming to see plays over the holidays and won't be able to see them."
I mean, are fu*cking kidding me? Yes, those poor, poor little bastards. The stagehands' families won't have a pot to piss over the holidays if they don't get paid soon, but I'm much more concerned about the little shit whose parents have $70 to buy him a ticket to watch the Lion King.
Why all the gnashing of teeth about no new TV shows. And if CBS News goes off the air for good that would be a blessing.
Doesn't anyone read good books or newspapers anymore.
And, there is always the blogosphere.
Happy Thanksgiving, all. Even with all the bad stuff going around, we still have more to be thankful for in this country than anywhere else in the world.

so does that mean they shouldn't be paid fairly for the work they produce?
