I am sick of this.

If I ever supported anyone in this travesty called a strike, I no longer do.

Last night Carson Daly's Last Call was disrupted by striking writers. Daly, who was pretty much bullied by NBC to come back to the show, lest his staff be cancelled, was disrupted by Hollywood's other mafia to a point where he was totally rattled by it all.

Now we know what Crips and Bloods would do if they had real money.

And all the while the end user of the product these pricks turn out...namely the writers, studios, and networks...have decided to spend a happy holiday with their loving families. The hell with trying to find common ground. The hell with settling this nonsense that has gone on 6 weeks too long.

And the hell with you.

That is what the WGA, ABC/Disney, CBS/Paramount/Viacom, NBC/GE, Fox/News Corporation, and Sony/Columbia/MGM have just said to you, the people that actually pay their salaries by your loyal viewership and ticket/DVD buying. F.U. And Merry Christmas.

And what is amazing is that we, the end consumer, continue to act like lemmings, supporting one side or the other, without realizing that these people are continually screwing you. They are screwing you by denying you a full season of the series you enjoy. They are screwing you by allowing televised dung like the CW's Crowned. And more dreck of a similar nature to come.

And let's not talk about the screwing that shall be done to you AFTER all of this. Higher DVD and movie ticket prices. Free services not being as free (how long will Hulu stay gratis?).

And the most ironic thing of all, is that after you have been screwed continually by these clowns, after all this of which you have no recourse, all entities will jointly put out big two page ads in newspapers saying that they didn't mean to make you lives a living hell, that they didn't mean to drag out for weeks or months when it all could have been settled before the deadline, or at least within days.

And in those ads they will look upon you with puppydog eyes, apologize to Carson and Ellen, and sweetly ask you to come back. We looooooooove you!

And like the Pavlov's Dogs you are, you will. Obediently, like zombies, you will return.

I know. I am no different.

Because I love Heroes so much, I will be there for their return. But trust me, it will not go farther.

These two sets of goons are Illinois Nazis to me. And like Joliet Jake, I hate Illinois Nazis.

But since I do not have the car, or the nerve, I will do the next best thing to ruin thier day. And I hope you do the same too.

I'm going to read a book.
