A strike has come to Hollywood. This is just another form of terrorism more deadly than Al Qaeda or suicide bombers.
It is irresponsible for writers in Hollywood to go out on strike during a time of war. Won't someone think of the troops? We as a nation need diversion. We need to be free of thought. We should not trouble our beautiful minds with images of
war. It is the escapism of the Hollywood Glitterati that keeps us warm at night. It is the constant glow of putrid crap coming from CW, Fox, and, to a lesser extent, ABC, CBS, and NBC, which keep millions of Americans glued to their television sets, endlessly surfing 24-7, taking little time for sustenance and sleep and no time for reading.
If this strike is successful, television screens across the country will be affected. They won't go black, but instead will go gray. Like the water some coo coo bananas environmentalists insist we use to water our lawns, gray television is polluted not by fantasy and "reality," but by news and current events programming. While shows like
Lost,
Boston Legal, and
The Bionic Woman require writers, shows like
20/20,
Dateline, and
Nightline need only glean the headlines for their content. Unaffected by the strike, their numbers will grow, until you won't be able to turn the channel without be confronted by a news or news-related
program.
And that is where this terrorist act cuts the collective jugular of the nation. Faced with news, the populace may start to pay attention, for the first time in almost seven years. God, I shudder at the thought. Imagine housewives gathering together not to discuss which character was in a coma or had just died on
One Life to Live or
All My Children, but to talk about the latest scandal coming from the White House. Think about a nation where instead of talking about the latest plot twist on
Ugly Betty at the water cooler in the office, white collar workers talk about the latest bombing in Iraq. Envision a place where instead of gathering around analog television sets to imbibe the latest red neck offering like
Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader millions of white trash suddenly realize that they may not be smarter than a grade schooler but are indeed smarter than Commander Guy and begin to question in anger.
I for one, cannot suffer this world.
But there is hope. If we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a nation without mindless numbing entertainment, we can fight back. I implore all of my fellow conservative bloggers to join me in rescuing this nation from the impending writers strike. Together we can fill the positions of all those terrorist writers, coming up with imaginative plot lines for shows, while finally killing off the whole left-wing-dominated entertainment industry. Think of how we could influence the nation with our writing styles, our love of truthdom, and our rabid affection for our Decider. Think of episodes of
ER, where all the foreign doctors preach the perfections of American health care and denounce socialized medicine. Imagine
The Simpsons characters voiced by Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity. Envision hour after hour of game show programming where all of the questions highlight the accomplishments of the Bush Administration. Of course this may require slight changes in time slots.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire may need to trim down a little bit. With the new question format, it might have to be slimmed down to
Who Wants to Be a Hundredaire.
So join me, my fellow cons. Together we can do it!
