NEWS: Writers' Strike Gets Nasty

That's fine, but please take this into consideration. And also note the numerous people who have pointed out the truly "average" writer is a middle class citizen. You wouldn't decry other middle class professionals who choose to strike? Would you?

Head, meet wall. Commence with the banging.

There are a lot of people facing possible financial troubles. The entire economy of Los Angeles and Southern California may/will be affect by this strike (if it goes on long enough). But that does include the writers, the majority of which are middle-cast at best. I really think you're just pigeonholing people now, and maybe just in an attempt to defend an article based upon a subject you may have wanted to read up on bit more than you did before tackled it.






Beside that, I've gotta say, that this;

...was pretty misogynistic, and actually, just fucking pathetic. That's all you could get your brain to come up with?

"I'VE SEEN U NEKKID ON TEH INTERWEB SO THERE4 U DON'T HAV A BRANE SO STFU AND SPREAD TEH LEG!"

That's basically what it boiled down to.

Was the article entirely accurate? No. That's been covered.

Do I agree w/everything Hunter said? No, some of it seemed rather self-serving, to be honest.

Was it an overall honest attempt @putting another opinion on the situation out there? I think so. And, might I add, it was a lot better than some of the asinine and illiterate responses from the anti-WGA crowd I've seen in these threads.

But am I going to slight her (or any other SG's, for that matter) opinion because they're a "professional nudie girl?" No, because I didn't know being an SG was a well-paying career, and that the ladies here have absolutely no need for regular jobs in their respective lives. So, the term "profession nudie girl" is misguided @best.

Also, I'm not a pompous prick.

Don't sell yourself short, man. This is America, you can be anything you want. I believe in you.

Man, imagine how much more you'd care about poor people if you made half what you're making now! Or just quit your job altogether! It's only keeping you from caring as much as you could. And if there's one thing this world needs more of, it's ill-informed people who are passionate about causes that they barely understand.

Fine. You find a way to make the naked-girl/ass-covering line work. All of my writers are on strike.

Um, no. See, she's naked on this website. Which means she, y'know, shows her naked ass. But this time--and stay with me here--she said something dumb and a lot of people jumped on her for it, so she tried to cover her ass and pretend that she was only kidding. And this, mind you, is the exact same ass that she so frequently exposes, on this very website!

I don't know, man. You sign every blog comment on a nudie site with your initials. The jury might be out on this one.

the long list of cop-outs as to why this article stank were even less informed than the original piece.

while the exact reason for this has yet to be researched, i am especially peeved at the notion of your writers sitting in cafes with their laptops having "waaaay" more fun than 99% of everyone else.

You do realize you just insulted all the girls on this site, right?

Not to mention, your argument is irrelevant. You wanna tell Flux that she's not bright because she's a "professional nudie girl"? Or Nixon?

Some things should go unsaid.

failing to recognize when someone is just trying to be cute is less cute than failing to be cute.

I wasn't trying to be cute... it was an honest mistake, considering the fact that it was a shitty attempt at a joke.

Wow, what a thread.

Yes, like this irrelevant comment. I'm not going to explain a joke three times over. The slow learners are just going to have to have someone read them my comments at the bottom of page nine.

Formus, I apologize for attributing this to you. That was supposed to be Hunter. My bad...

the joke is losing air pressure... the joke is losing altitude... oh wait, wait,
OMG, KING HELL'S JOKE HAS CRASHED INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER! OH THE HUMANITY! OH NOES ITS FOLLOWED DIRECTLY BY THE LABORIOUS EXPLANATION, WHICH LOOKS LIKE... YES! THE EXPLANATION IS CRASHING INTO THE SECOND TOWER! OH MY GAWD, THIS IS A TRAGEDY FOR INTERNET COMEDY EVERYWHERE!

Pretty pointless article.

Sweet, you're not a misogynist, you just made a really lame ass joke that should have been avoided simply due to the fact that it could/was very easily have been mistaken as an attack on her person. Problem is, you make lots of asinine comments on the boards, so it's hard to sort out the lame jokes from trite commentary. Next time try using italics... or better yet just leave the jokes alone.

You put it better then I ever could. Kudos.

Tra la la.

That's so funny, I'd ask you to start writing professionally, but what would be the point right now?

Frankly, I've heard better "other sides" to the abortion and Iraq War debates than I've heard on this topic.

Heh. Point taken.
