Letterman Rules! (and other stuff)
Hats off to David Letterman’s company World Wide Pants, who have reached an agreement with the Writer’s Guild of America that will put The Late Show back on the air with it’s staff writers intact, while the rest of Big Media continues it’s quest to prevent writers from claiming revenue on new media. For those who don’t know, new media translates to programming streamed and downloaded for viewing on digital technologies...i.e. the internet and mobile phones. Seems the studios don’t feel that writers are entitled to being compensated for shows that they created and wrote that are downloaded onto i-pods and mobile phones and watched on planes, trains, and toilets all over the world. I wonder if the studio and big media conglomerates think that God is on their side on this one? Maybe God Loves them best? I wonder if they’re holding secret ceremonies in caves somewhere in Delaware, worshipping giant owls, dressing in drag...branding themselves with secret markings on the underside of their balls...in unity, and consuming massive portions of human stew. And there’s no doubt President Bush would be there...with his evil smirk...nodding his approval of global economic domination with affectionate stupidity...That would be funny. But not really. Mostly scary. Anyhow, good job David Letterman. God loves YOU best!
