Writer’s strike kills Jack Bauer

Despite numerous threats of torture, including the violent use of a towel, the writers of 24 continue to strike. This has caused Fox to do the unthinkable, cancel the season premiere of 24.

DDAMMMITTTT!!! DDAMMMITTTT!!! DDAMMMITTTT!!!

A stupid little contract dispute long overdue labor dispute has killed Jack Bauer. Something that nuclear blasts, CAIR, Russian separatists, drug cartels, overdoses, a shooter on the roof, Nina Myers, Kim Bauer, bombs, viruses, nuclear meltdown, President Logan, bullets, poison gas, an airplane with no pilot, guns, torture, black helicopters, other Bauers, Marwan, moles, CTU, the government, one human rights lawyer, Audrey, Behrooz, Middle Eastern terrorists, lesbians, and even death (twice) could not do.

In solidarity with the writers, all future Blogs4Bauer posts will be posted in Wingdings font.

Ok so wingdings will not work, so to show solidarity with the writers, we will post only in binary code.

  1. Easy there chief–while no 24 until fall of 08 does indeed suck, I certainly wouldn’t call the strike a stupid little dispute. The writers are entitled to any royalties generated by a show–that includes those generated by DVD sales.

    You think Kiefer sides with the studios on this one? Fat freaking chance. $10 says he’s down there picketing with the writers shortly.

    And you made fun of me when Heroes was going to be affected. Heh.

    Hmm. According to my binary-speaking friends, your coded message says “ñ$D ?”

    What does that mean?

    Sorry Ricky, I was speaking out of my ass. My wife is in a union and I have union-envy. She gets in trouble if she works late, I get in trouble if I don’t work late. She gets off every damn holiday, I don’t. where’s my inflatable rat?

  5. Heh, pardon Rickey for getting up on his soapbox there. (and thanks for the corrections).

    The sad thing is that in today’s world, unions are something of a dinosaur. So that’s why this writer’s guild strike is a good reminder that workers deserve their fair cut–no matter how big or small.

    Inflatable rats for everyone!

    You know what actually pisses me off the most about this? I was checking the freakin’ Fox press site ALL DAY yesterday for news of this. I finally go home and didn’t check it from home, and they finally post the revised schedule!

    Bastards.

    This is enough to make the unflappable Bill Buchanan say, “DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIIIIIIT!!!”

    Adam, please report to the set.
