The Television Writers Strike Will Destroy America

I find it strange that no one has pointed out the obvious about this writers strike. Come on America wake up! The beginning of the end is here, your world as you know it is over. The television writers have decided to strike bringing a halt to our beloved television shows. Will Booth and Bones finally realize their love for each other? Will McDreamy finally move on and get over Meredith? Will Jack finally get tired of saving an ungrateful America and move to Canada? Like the meaning of life, these questions may never be answered. You might think I am overreacting but have you really thought of the consequences of the strike and how it will affect the world around you?

Without an evening of television to fill the gaping maw of time after you get home from work and the kids go to sleep what are we left to do? Instead of picking up that quick meal so you can feed the family and finish in time to watch CSI you might decide to cook. Sounds healthy and wholesome right? Wrong. What about those poor restaurants? Without customers they would have to close down. No restaurants, no jobs for food service workers. No jobs for food service workers, no tax money off their wages. Guess who has to pick up the difference? Not to mention if there are all of those buildings sitting empty there would be no need for new construction, right?! There is another whole group of people out of work. If these people aren't working, they aren't shopping causing the retail workers to lose their jobs. See the snowball effect? Television strike leads to mass unemployment, which leads to mass recession, which leaves a hurting America ripe for the plucking by some ingenious puppet master, which leads to Paris Hilton as president.

Let's look at another scenario, shall we? Without the TV as focal point for our lives we might turn to our families. Our families. We might start talking to each other, paying attention to the things that are going on in the lives of the ones that we love. We might start really communicating with our families. Communicating with our families! You know what that will lead to don't you? Families understanding and supporting each other, reconnecting, spending time together. A return to old fashioned family values. Sounds great right? Wrong again! If everyone was happy there would be no need for therapists, alcohol or drugs. No alcohol, no drugs and therapists focusing their laser like skills on the clueless of the world can only lead to one thing, yup you guessed it Paris Hilton as president.

Still not a believer? I bet this will convince you. All this family togetherness will need some sort of outlet. There are only so many games of Yahtzee that you can play right? So families will turn to the great outdoors for entertainment. There will be families playing tennis, bike riding and roller-blading. With all the exercise and the healthy eating I mentioned above people will start losing weight. Their hearts and bodies will get stronger and they will live healthier lives. Nothing could be better right? Wrong yet again! With people doing all these activities outside with their families there would be no need for people to go to the gyms. Eventually the gyms would shut down. All of those size 0 personal trainers and spin instructors would be lost. They would hit the streets yearning for a scrap of hope. Who would they turn to, who would they rally their well toned arms around? Paris Hilton. Her power would know no end and you know where that leads to, that's right Paris Hilton for president.

So I ask you with all roads leading to the destruction of our country, how can the writers continue this strike? Let's let bygones be bygones. Hey, I was the bigger person and have forgiven Grey's for the whole George/Izzie debacle. Can't the writers and the producers be bigger people and look past the dollar signs to see the bigger picture? If my words can't convince them perhaps the words of one of our most beloved American Presidents can. "Ask not what your country can do for you," ask who she might name as her VP.
