Will Work For Food

Television writing continues to suck for the most part. More and more movies are remakes of classics or classic TV Land shows. Can anyone write anymore? Perhaps it's time to team up clever, recently laid off twentysomethings and thirtysomethings with some big-shot producers. Some of these unemployed souls sure are writing gems. Seems necessity is the mother of invention, and with these folks in need of some cash, their creativity really shines. If the "unemployed cardboard sign holder turned Hollywood screenwriter" reality show doesn't fly, perhaps actual scriptwriters' salaries could be held in a high-yield account until after the movie is complete, and the interest earned could go to support some local shelters. Too nice of a gesture? Send us links to more "will work for food" signs. We'll post our favorites.
