Exactly–where would ANY of these shows be if it weren’t for the writers? Even the talk shows need writers to prop up the feeble washed-up comedians who host them. Only the reality shows haven’t suffered (although their audiences clearly suffer from SOMETHING).

I do enjoy how it’s always “because of the writers” and not “because of the jerks who wouldn’t even negotiate in reasonably good faith with the writers, who could have continued working if they had at least been talking.”

Hahaha, I thought I was going to read that they are offering the writers free meals… All those other behind the scenes workers could use help, too; I agree. Compassion is the best advertising for company image, Pepsico!!! (hint, hint…)

What are they offering to the hundreds of “behind the scenes” workers who are out of a job because of the strikers? Is Taco Bell feeding those families?

From the article:
“…Taco Bell wanted to show its support for the thousands of creative minds itching to press pen to paper, or in our case, Border Sauce packets,” said David Ovens, Chief Marketing Officer, Taco Bell.

Shaking my head in disbelief.
