As geeks quiver and wheeze at the thought of early endings to the shows which promote our continued social isolation, Barack Obama spoke out on the writers’ strike, taking a position that won’t win him any friends in entertainment industry. At least not among those with money and power.
As per his campaign website:
“I stand with the writers. The Guild’s demand is a test of whether media corporations are going to give writers a fair share of the wealth their work creates or continue concentrating profits in the hands of their executives. I urge the producers to work with the writers so that everyone can get back to work.”
B-Rock, you may have just gotten yourself the support of every working writer in America.
Many of whom are also geeks. Don’t you want to support geeks, B-Rock? Don’t you want to respond to the Geek Survey?
