Simpsons Pay Dispute Settled

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the a-little-more-doh dept.

ackthpt writes "Simpsons voice actors were receiving $125,000 per episode and considering how wildly profitable the show is for FOX, in syndication and merchandising, the actors felt they should get a bigger piece of the pie. The strike is settled with a 4 year contract for the actors, though FOX is mum about further details, so the show will go on. For a bit more on this see this article on BBC News or The Gate."

    It is the writing and ideas that make it good. The actors voices add only familiarity. Furthermore all you linux faggots can go choke on nigger cock.

    "However, they're still accumulating money for the future of their family..."

    You are aware of course that one of the main reasons why the USA sought independence from Britain was to get away from the aristocrats. I find it absolutely amazing that Americans think it's okay to accumulate wealth solely so that their descendents can continue to lord it over the proletariat. That's why you have an estate tax and is also why the Republicans are so keen to do away with it.

    These people don't need any more money. Their job requires almost no skill, and they are already rich...
