Isn't this the same industry that is complaining that piracy is putting them out of business?"

    You're an idiot. You think people get rich by sitting on their asses? You think actors did not have to work their asses off to get where they are at? And you think that creating a 1/2 hour TV show is as easy as it looks?

    I fucking hate people like you. You need a serious reality check. Maybe you shouldn't talk about shit you don't know anything about. If it is so easy then why aren't you doing it? For that matter why isn't everybody doing it? Maybe because it isn't so easy? Hmmm well no shit.
