Writers Strike

So the Writers Guild of America is on strike and that means a halt to a lot of American TV shows. While you might think that is a blessing the fact is they will just put on a whole lot of reruns. When I heard that the writers had hit the picket line with signs I couldn’t wait to see the footage. Most picket lines are manned by car plant workers and miners and lets face it they aren’t the most eloquent people in the community. I was keen to see what a professional wordsmith would do with a placard. Like Matrix 2 & 3 it was an anti climax. All the signs said the same thing ‘On Strike’ I guess they aren’t even writing stuff for themselves while the strike is on
