Does anybody care? I haven’t even noticed there is a writers strike, but then all I watch on TV are sports, news, and an occasional religious show.

Yeah, it will be horrible that all these pompous overpaid egomaniacs won't be able to spout off how evil Bush is when they accept their award.

Well, imagine that.

I’ve been boycotting cultural-elites-giving-awards-to-themselves shows of ALL types for years.

The last one I tuned in for had the hideously over-rated, poseur Marlon Brando sending a squaw up to accept his trinket (ca 1972).

It's kind of like the Philosophers' strike in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

The writers will be back - unfortnately - when they realize their jobs are in peril and that their strike was a symbol of their idiocy.

Much of the suffering ended when they went on strike.

Gay men across the country are in mourning. No red carpet fashion show.

If the Oscars get boycotted, expect to see riots in West Hollywood.

"Sacheen Littlefeather". She was actually Filipino.

I predict the writers will be back at work soon—celebs can’t live long without patting themselves on the back with “awards” shows. ;)
