That's kinda lame then, considering all the free shit they apparently get. Yeah, my donation funds have a lot more work to do elsewhere. Oh, wow it’s just for the strikers?

God forbid someone should go four weeks without a french pedi! *Staring at my budget, in which there is currently NO room for a spa service, discounted or otherwise* I'm still having a hard time with this one. I do like that some of the better paid writers are helping their poorly paid peers. But damn. No, nope, I prefer BBC shows anyway. *grouchy old man face* Nah, looks like it just goes to help the poorer writers, though some other things are going to help the rest of those affected:

When normal people get canned, the attitude is pretty much: that sucks! Go get another job! Also, Royce only seats 1800 people and tix are $75. This is only going to gross $135,000. After Sarah Silverman's paid laughers, Eddie's Marlboros and venue rental costs, that's not going to cover more than two or three gaffer's meth habits for the week. I insensitively kid. But no, my charity funds are going to Doctors Without Borders again this year.

If so, then it's actually a very nice gesture. I could be wrong, but might this be a fundraiser for the crew members who are out of work because of the strike?
