Writers Strike - Re-runs Ensue - Nation Flips Channel

Well, they did it. 12,000 writers went on strike for more money yesterday. Now, given the fact that the film and television industry is perhaps one of the most incestuous industries on the planet; being rife with cronyism and nepotism (even more so than politics and organized crime in my opinion), I think the writers may be really hanging it out there. Sure, they may get what they want, but what happens a few weeks or months from now after they get back to the ol' quill and inkwell? There may be an exec or two not so happy with their creative works. Just a thought.

Here is a great piece over at "I Watch Stuff" that really does sum-up the whole thing: http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/11/wga_strike_one_writers_perspec.php
