WGA strike continuesss

yesterday was the first day of the Writer's Guild of America's strike against conglomerate Hollywood. The strike is against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade organization that represents the interests of American film and television producers. Over 12,000 writers will be affected by the strike. The last such strike was the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike; it lasted 22 weeks, costing the American entertainment industry an estimated $500 million. I just watched a clip of Tina Fey on the picket line in front of Rockefeller Center in NYC (where 30 Rock is fictionally located), and she seemed to explain everything I wanted to write. so take it away Tina!....my love goddess *drool*
