Not surprising. I've met some of these people and I keep wondering how in the heck they got where they did. Dumb luck? Brown-nosing? Combo of both?
They'd be better off just making a deal.
Have you been reading wga_support on lj? Some of the posts are truly hilarious. Apparently the fans found one of the network CEO's phone numbers online and have started to calling him non-stop. While others were calling studios. It got so bad at one studio - they had to hire more people to handle the phone calls. Direct quote from one of the networks:"what will it take to get you guys to stop!" I don't think it is the striking writers that are going to break the AMPTP but the angry fans of the writers. The writers have discovered a new weapon - "fans". Took them long enough.
I've been online long enough to know that one does not mess with a fan who is emotionally invested in (fill in the blank). (Have learned this lesson the hard way. It's akin to trying to take a little gorilla cub from a mother gorilla.)
