Defamer
With about an hour until the sight of enough TV stars to stock a week's worth of network upfront parties can lift the spirits of those depressed by the ongoing labor strife, we feel like it's a good time to hop in our Strike Wayback Machine and travel back to Day 4 for some much-needed smiles, when Paramount's Bronson Gate Players once again demonstrated that they're on the cutting edge of picketing techniques. We must, however, quibble with the video's claim that one of screenwriters on Melrose lot duty invented Strike Dancing, as the work of one spatula-swinging, sweatpant-clad hero deserves at least a portion of the credit for the burgeoning form of protest-art.

Hey, Bronson Gate is the party gate.
Can't believe they missed the canoe maneuver though.
Jesus. That was the worst dancing I've ever seen. I think I'm now on the studios' side.
IF they write like they dance... all the more reason not to include them in the new technology...
And to think that some people say Hollywood is "too white".
i mean people do realize that 95% of the shows on tv and movies in the theater are absolute crap right? perhaps those bemoaning the lack of creativity and quality in hollywood should look no further than this group of strikers. they suck even when theyre not writing.
If the strike goes on much longer, pray-tell this is what we will be subjected to:

Be scared, be very scared.

If you think writers are the sole gnerators of Hollywood crap--well, you haven't gotten your notes back yet.

I hate this posting system. I feel like I'm talking to Neil Armstrong on the moon.
When I didn't get a pay raise, all I could do was weep in a fetal position under my desk. This does seem more fun.
I blame this embarrassing display on all the free donuts and churros the writers are getting, in lieu of their extra 4 cents per DVD. Imagine the horror when someone from ICM decides to one up CAA and drops a truckload of Sprinkles cupcakes on them.
It's a powerful dance with jubilant effect! Dance on, Dancing Strikers!
I am really Po'd since I am reduced to watching reruns of Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Colbert. Now I have to actually read a book for entertainment. Come on people, get this thing settled before I finish the Kite Runner - I am on page 100.
These people are whiter than Swedish polka.
@Bufflekins: Thank you for the vote of confidence. It was a spontaneous boogie as Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious" began to play, and should we be so lucky to find a good choreographer, I'm sure we could come up with moves to rival those of Filipino prisoners. Especially the balding trannie one.
They are only feeding the reality-tv machine that they are protesting about. Can "Dancing with the WGA Strikers" be far behind on the ABC schedule?
