The writer's strike. :(

It ruined television. I understand where some of the writers were coming from when they went on strike in the first place, but honestly - they did themselves a major disservice - and us the viewers as well. Most production houses and channels are doing more and more 'reality' TV and remakes of old movies, and sequels and prequels then ever before because they don't want to hire writers. They don't want to have to pay through the nose and they don't want to have to do this for the next few decades because of intellectual property rights. It's ridiculous is what it is. What of all those people posting on Youtube? Are they receiving anything? Well they're writers....it's their material....they came up with it....where's their share huh? Jackasses.

All of you are jackasses. All you did was prove like Metallica did when they filed suit against Napster that you don't write because you enjoy it, because you like the fans, because you respect that without our love and devotion to your writing you wouldn't even have a job.....nope. You proved that you write for money and so long as it's not enough to keep a mansion like the rest of the actors you're working with (who yes, do in fact deserve WAY more than you for being on camera and for being the only ones who can do the job. Do you have to come in when sick? Can someone else fill in for a day? Do they get these same options? NO.) then it's simply not enough for you. So you went on strike and ruined all the good shows out there, got a large number cancelled before they'd even gained enough momentum, and showed the fans you don't give a shit about us.

You're all assholes for doing it. You were making enough money, and you were working in a good field with degrees that in most of the rest of the country are toilet paper. And you weren't happy, well boo-fucking-who for you. Get therapy, don't go on strike like the bastards you all proved yourself to be.

Go crawl in a hole and die and bring back the true integrity of writing and art. The work is it's own reward, you were lucky enough to be doing work that you got paid for that you were able to make a living off of. So many of us cannot say the same. I hope you're happy with the results. Most of you can't even get hired now since so many studios aren't willing to hire writers because you've all proven yourselves to be little bitches.
