Variety, Counter’s Middle Name & Rewriting the Title Page

December 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

5 out of 5 biased Variety reporters think that their biased reporting is fair to the AMPTP and the studios.

Mr. Counter’s middle name is Bean. Nick Bean Counter.
His full first name is Nicholass.

4 out of 5 writers do NOT think that Variety is the spice of life.
2 out of 5 writers think that Variety is the Old Spice of life.

On an average 3 hour picketing shift, 4320 cars honk. That’s 24 cars per minute.
Average number of honks per car: 7. That’s 30,240 honks.

4 out of 5 dentists think Nick Counter should F*** himself.
So 80% of dentists are highly intelligent and educated on strike issues.
It’s the remaining 20% that we should be worried about.

Since rewriting is second nature for writers, the WGA rewrote the title page of the AMPTP’s proposal, changing the name from “New Economic Partnership” to a more appropriate name, “New Economic Reacharound”.

Immediately after the title page was turned in, the AMPTP was overheard saying, “I thought that was going to be a free rewrite,” followed by, “It’s promotional.”
