Big Bang Actors To Earn $1M Per Episode

Cludge (981852) writes with a snippet from the BBC: "And rich they will be: With The Big Bang Theory commissioned until 2017, the show's three biggest names, Jim Parsons (Sheldon), Johnny Galecki (Leonard) and Kaley Cuoco (Penny) are guaranteed to earn $72m (£42.6m) each over the next three seasons. Unsurprisingly, the cost of producing the sitcom has spiraled." I wonder what that works out per line?

    I like that hen the are called on their blackface they respond:
    I know people like that!

    Imagine if they where making fun of black culture and the defense is 'I know black people!'

    Sickening.

    Yes, I happily would. The life of the mind is, frankly, a perilous one. If the minimal rigors of (gasp) public education are enough to convince one to put an end to it, then they are probably better off leaving this world. Sorry, but that's just how it is. It could be better, and a lot of it is really silly, and a lot of us are working on fixing that, but my sympathy is limited, having gone through much of the same.

    i wasn't talking about learning, dumbass. i meant the rigors of "bullying". yeah, it sucks, but it's much worse elsewhere, for any number of reasons that Americans couldn't even begin to imagine.

    it's a complicated thing. sometimes, the greater the suffering, the greater the will to live in the moment. maybe the greatest cruelty of bullying is the sheer arbitrariness of it, but maybe that's exactly the kind of thing nerds need to embrace and understand. we live in amazing times.

    no, the post i was replying to referred exclusively to bullying. there's something called "context". you see, it's more efficient to simply refer back to context than try to evaluate everything as a goddam closure.

    i only called you a dumbass because you called me ignorant. i return blow for blow, neither more nor less.

    as far as capitalization: you might as well judge someone by the length of their hair. grow up.
