Damn Writers Strike…

Why the hell is this writers strike still going? Which asshole is responsible for that?

For those of you who live under a rock, or if your an 16 year old teenage flake who lives off that MTV reality crap, here’s a recap. After watching how rich many television stars, such as Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien or Kiefer Sutherland have become, many writers for our favorite TV sitcoms have gone on strike. As they are underpaid for their work, such scribes feel unappreciated as even the stars with no acting ability, whom shall remain nameless *Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore…*, come out with the pockets filled with cash. All these writers ask for is a little more money, but to the turds of high television, its too much to ask for. Our boy’s at NBC and Fox feel that their 10 million annual bonuses are way more important than fair pay to quality Americans.

I wonder what intelligence level it requires to hold a high executive position in such TV networks. You would imagine that the simplicity in this solution is one that would smack ‘em in the face. They don’t really want that much more money…we bring in butt loads with new episodes…they are doing most of the work to keep us in business…naw fuck it, let’s just show the last season of the series and see if anyone notices.

Because of this strike, viewers now watch countless re-runs in place of new episodes. NBC added 3 more hours of reality TV to their lineup as they had nothing to put in its place.

Note: Reality TV was never good when it came out, shit hasn’t changed. It still sucks. I do NOT want to watch fat white guys dance and sing lyrics to Pretty Woman for money.

If I see Ryan Seacrest’s face one more time, I may shoot myself.

The chance of the television economy running on reality TV is like Britney Spear’s singing voice, a black Michael Jackson or an intelligent George Bush…non-existant. I’d rather watch paint dry then see the same House episode over and over again. Even though it follows the same plot where a guy gets sick, House takes the entire show to diagnose his problem, and then gives him a glass of water to solve his issue, ITS STILL NEW.

But no, it’s winter and they still play the same old Halloween movies or Christmas stories (which they over-run during that week in December too)

I’d prefer to watch a Hilary Duff music video instead. She may have the amount of talent as a gerbil, but at least I can scratch my balls to it.

I vote that we remove the stick up these big executive’s ass, beat them with it, and then handsomely pay the writers with the insurance money.
