Egads! You guys (Writers Guild of America) do really, actually, suck. I mean, this is your moment to use your mad "writing" skillz to promote your cause and this is the best you can do.
I truly love and totally support the idea of hiring British writers to replace you. At least the Brits will know how best to knock-off their own successful shows for American versions. And you know what, you make terrible waiters and waitresses to boot!
At least with the Brits, we get some witty entertainment.
And while we're on the subject, if you want to bring the television and movie going public to your side, here's what you do. Now remember, I'm not a writer. I'm not a WGA member. I'm a media consumer.
You take the top 30 movie and television scenes of all time, edit them together one after the other. But instead of the crucial dialogue for each scene, you have chincy elevator music. No dialogue would be impactful even though the audience knows every line and every sentence. But we, the audience, are left holding the proverbial bag. Hey, I get that.
No, let's rip off Star Wars. Let's hold up George "Howard the Duck/Phantom Menance" Lucas as an example of what we mean when we say, you need talented writers. You need the WGA.
Good grief! You people don't deserve a penny more.

Odd. It looks like they just lifted Lucas' first draft of [any Star Wars Movie after the first] and claimed it for their own work.
Please don't help them with any ideas cleverer than that. I have been a teacher some 20 years and have watched my stock of humorous references to old movies and pop culture and my different voices be credited, more and more, to Family Guy and American Dad and -- to tell you the truth -- any less of those shows would be a boon to me and mine.
