Today, some kooky WGA members have scheduled a very spooky protest at 11:30 AM PT that involves presumably fake priests and nuns throwing holy water at Warner Bros Studios. (Oh, yeah, this so-called "studio exorcism" is just gonna thrill Barry Meyer and Alan Horn...) "In a town where accounting is not what it seems, where books are cook'd like witches' brew, and net profits are cannibalized and passed through the bowls of darkness, where residuals formulae are wrought by prestidigitatory art and fair compensation is a distant dream, one guild risked everything to make a difference and so can you." I hear free "Horror Writers On Strike -- We Eat Scabs" T-shirts will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. And the dress code, of course, is black.
…aaaaand we’re back to tacky theme strikes.

At least this message is clear and truthful. LOL.

well this will certainly put to rest the idea that we’re not taking this seriously.

I laughed-out-loud at the ‘will eat scabs’ line. I hopr they use it.

I wonder who will be playing the Pope and whether he will be playing either Benedict or John Paul II.

the exorcism today was great. just proof that we will continue to approach this strike with creativity. nothing wrong with doing a few things to keep our spirits up.
