This Just In: Economy Packs Up and Says “F This, I’m Out!”

Some might point to sub-prime lending as the cause for the recent dip in the economy. Me, I take a less-educated, purely self-serving look at the situation.

I’m going on record as blaming the Screenwriters’ Guild.

Yeah, yeah, yeah… they don’t get fractions of a penny for the digital downloads. My father doesn’t make residuals when the buildings he’s designed sell again for more money. Should he strike too?

Back to the economy.

So, the writers go on strike, which causes no new shows to be aired, which causes viewership to go down, which causes ad revenues to drop. Following here?

Since Americans are pretty much stupid and Ogilvy isn’t here to figure out some new way to brainwash the masses Americans aren’t buying at the paces we usually do. Widespread panic ensues and BANG… the economy starts to recess… What? That’s not the right use? F that, I’m making it the right use.

So, in short. No writers, no commercials, no $$.
