Why the Writers Strike (and why you should support them)

There have been a lot of great images and videos this week that highlight the reason for the writer's strike.

The writers of THE OFFICE tell their reasons: jesus christ--even their protests are funny.


And this gent--Howard Michael Gould--whose speech I found on theartfulwriter.com, Craig Mazin's website.


Similar to Howard's speech at that panel, is United Hollywood's video. United Hollywood is the organization of top showrunners--Shonda Rhimes (GREY'S ANATOMY, PRIVATE PRACTICE), Marc Cherry (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES), J.J. Abrams (LOST); top actors from your favorite shows and more--all gathered together because they know if the corporations f*** the writers, they'll f*** them next.


And Damon Lindelof and Marc Cherry have their great telling of the story--funny stuff. God bless them and all the guys doing their part to explain why they're looking for a fair negotiation.
