 ‘Colbert’ Writers Score Big With Strike ParodyPosted on Nov 16, 2007
There’s one big built-in advantage that many striking WGA members have over the studio honchos they’re feuding with: real creative talent. This clip, made by “Colbert Report” writers, showcases their flair for parody, reminding producers why they’re indispensable while mercilessly lampooning the executives.

While I think corporate media are by far the monster in this fight, there is some irony in Colbert’s writers trying to get paid for their work winding up on the internet. They steal tons of material from unpaid internet bloggers and memetic forum content in the first place.

With the top 1% of money-earners now making over 20% of the income in this country, it’s remarkably more difficult for the bosses to cry poverty than it was twenty years ago—though it was bullshit then, too. It just doesn’t play as well in Peoria. The writers are going to win this strike quickly, the only regret being that we didn’t ask for more.

Well done.
I live outside the US and usually catch up on Colbert and Stewart online. Of late this means sitting throught the ads that precede the clips, often seeing the same one a half dozen times in twenty minutes. The only way I know to support the Writers’ Guild is to stop watching on-line until the dispute is resolved.

Amen to that!
Nothing new (worth watching) airs without writers’ imagination. Nothing. Pay ‘em their worth you Hollywood elitists. We don’t want your Friggin’ Wal-Mart nation.
