Stewart and Colbert to Return Without Writers…"YOU MEAN BLOGGING"!

Cool…Stewart and Colbert are going to Videoblog like the rest of us :) . Lucky bastards get to do it from a real studio.

It’s probably the best thing to happen to America since the TV was introduced. In case you did not notice, TV sucks. It’s not just the writer’s fault.

BUT, striking is retarded on top of bad.

Did the travel agents strike as the internet obliterated their business?

Did stockbrokers strike after commissions went from $500 a trade to $1 overnight?

Will anybody complain when real estate agents go out of work in the next cycle?

If you are not on the money list in Golf, you toil in complete obscurity travelling from city to city. Life sucks.

It’s the profession you chose and you knew it when you made it. The good ones can negotiate their contracts. They should. You hire CAA to do it and you get what you deserve. The rest of the fish should not rely on a union dude with his own self-serving interests to negotiate for them.

There is no easy fix a completely broken system other than to start all-over. That means bust the freaking union and let the talent rise to the top. Like the internet. Guess what, that sucks too. You can help everybody though by not making it worse.

Here than are two EASY LESSONS FOR THE TALENT AS THEY HEAD TO THE INTERNET to try and start all over:

1. Tell CAA to stick it up their ass or any agent that approaches you

2. Tell VC’s the same thing , just louder. Barry likes the idea. It’s a great post, but wrong on this matter .

You don’t need or want either. Take some control of your own talent and some responsibility. Oh…and be prepared to multitask. It’s freaking hard.

Usually EVERYONE loses on a walkout or strike. At least with this strike, Americans as a whole win with no prime-time television. There is no excuse not to go outside or talk with your kids.

Woops…the Internet!
