Is This Really A Firesale In Disguise?

I loved this entry on the United Hollywood blog today. Basically, one of the bloggers suggests that someone contact Google and cut out the middlemen (the studios): just have Google contract the WGA, en masse, to start writing for the Internet... but under terms that reflect its value (and who'd know that better than Google?)

Obviously it's written very tongue-in-cheek but it certainly afforded the author many opportunities to vent his frustrations with the writers' current situation. I particularly liked:

"If Google wanted, they could scoop up THE ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. We are all available."
