AMPTP President Nick Counter's Picket Sign Popularity At All-Time HIgh
No, this WGA picketer's sign (click the photo to enlarge) probably won't help to elevate the level of discourse in the already-ugly war of words raging between the writers and studios, but it may finally force AMPTP bogeyman Nick Counter to address some of the rapidly proliferating rumors concerning him on his organization's website:
"SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...As the WGA knows and its own records will attest, I possess no supernatural powers to command coyotes, transform into mist, or feed upon the dreams of sleeping children. Additionally, my giant raven is merely a pet, and not a viable form of late-night locomotion. As the the WGA knows and its own records will attest, I am not a 'weiner,' as spuriously claimed by a horny TV doctor the Guild has intimidated into slandering me. And, at this time, I am not going to dignify the disgusting accusations of flatulence-devouring with a response. If the writers were truly serious about a deal, they'd redirect some of the energy they expend scribbling caricatures of me on picket signs into begging the Companies to returning to the bargaining table with renewed vigor."
