Late Show Writers on Strike

Practically everything here is funny, but I wanted to share some comedic highlights that the writers of the Late Show made while they're on strike:

We're Gonna Equivocate Like It's 1999
In the Sunday New York Times Magazine, former Disney chief Michael Eisner says the writers were foolish to strike over the use of content on the Internet, which he described as "neither profitable nor is it clear in exactly what direction it's going to go."
And then he suddenly cut the interview short because he had to pick up some Pokemon cards and a SEGA Dreamcast for his daughter on their way to the Ricky Martin concert.

AMPTP is now picketing
It seems like the AMPTP propaganda machine is in full effect right now. It's getting so bad, THEY were seen picketing today. Here's what an AMPTP picket sign looks like:

They have solid gold picket signs! Now THAT'S crazy!

THINGS I REGRET PURCHASING RIGHT BEFORE THE WRITERS STRIKE

The moral: Always keep your receipts. (Also: You can get fabulous deals on wine goblets if you look hard enough.)
