Fuck. I knew something about the fights between WGA and Nick. During the cancellation, Jamie and I tracked down a bit of the information detailing the struggles of the writers on Zim, Spongebob, Oddparents and a couple of other shows to gain union representation, and the suspectedly illegal actions Nick took in the matter. But I didn't know any of the hard facts. This is just...FUCK! Makes you proud to be human, doesn't it? :P Doesn't raise my opinion of Bush's administration any, either, a fact which would bring down a load of crap if I metioned it in 'polite company' now. I love Paul, but I was a bit disturbed by the fact that he turned off the Blockbuster trailer today when he saw that Dixie Chicks were on it. I don't know, I guess he's entitled to express his opinion in that manner. Anyway, as for details on the WGA thing, I found this on J. Random Lurker's journal (after finding it through their AMAZING fics O_o).

Found that on one of the random Nick boards, and I REALLY don't know who to attribute those statements to (I'm sure it's NOT Jhonen though...)
And welcome to my friends list ;)

If you go to the WGA site, you can see the sort of stuff Nick was doing mentioned. In fact, I had set up an appointment to talk with someone from WGA.. I never got around to doing the interview but when I talked to the woman who was going to set it up and forward me to someone in a more knowlegeable department, she mentioned a few of Nick's wrongdoings and made it a point to tell me that the interaction between the WGA and some of the staff of Invader Zim was a source of some of the problems they had.
Oh, yeah. And J. Random Lurker rawks my world.
