What kind of a sick and twisted world do we live in where Ben Edlund is ID’ed as a writer for Supernatural and not creator of The Tick.
/I’ll refrain from scolding about the cig.
Best coverage of the March of Pencils! (compared to Variety and The LA Times). This is why I get my entertainment news from DHD.
Um… that is not a crowd of thousands. Your wishful thinking is running into overdrive. Looks like a couple of hundred at best. And if there really WERE thousands of people there, why can’t you show a picture that more accurately represents that number because the one above DOESN’T.
The pictures do not necessarily show everyone. While the topmost picture shows the end of the line, it doesn’t necessarily show the beginning. You have no way of knowing how many people are lurking outside of the photos.
Given that 90% of WGA memebers rarely work and certainly don’t make a living at it, this looks to me like a bunch of bored people who finally have something “exciting” to do with their empty days.
ChuckT – in fact, it was a crowd of thousands. The LA Times estimates the number at 4,000, to be precise. So there is nothing wishful about the thinking. Just go to latimes.com and review the lead story about how this strike is costing the city of LA approximately $20 million/day if you want to verify.
And btw, their photos only show close-ups of a few faces, leading me to wonder whether you’ll send them a letter too? Bitter much?
Alicia Keyes cancels a taping at Ellen to play at the march. Well…

As opposed to you, Miles, swashbuckling your way through the exciting world of message board commenting!
You are an inspiration, sir!
Thanks for the photos. Great to see Alicia Keys (a writer herself) doing her thing! I would cut off my left pinky to see her play live.
