Alternative source of comic relief
I know that many of you are going into talk-show withdrawal, what with so many late night chatfests in reruns due to the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike. Well, for those looking for a laugh, the writers of the "Late Show with David Letterman" offer an alternative. The scribes behind the show have launched the blog LateShowWritersonStrike.com, a web site full of their witty observations on the WGA strike.
And, frankly, it's significantly funnier than a lot of recent "Late Show" material.
The site includes wacky video clips, essays by the writers and a probing biography of the writer's strike mascot, Strikey (actually a pen-and-ink drawing of a circle with big eyes and enormous teeth).
The writers have posted a disclaimer on the site, stating that they know that the strike is a serious matter, and they're by no way trying to make light of its underlying issues. But, they argue, humor is a good way to cope with stressful situations.
Well said, and well done.
Check it out.
