“As I said, I have never been on a picket line before, and neither has any of the other writers at America’s Next Top Model, so really, I was asking these basic fundamental questions. I was like, how do you hold a sign to make it look fierce?”
(from an interview at Television Without Pity with one of ANTM’s writers.)
The writers who piece together hours of raw footage to bring us the stylings of America’s Next Top Model are not unionized. This group of 12 has been on strike since July, claiming that their bosses are stalling the writers’ efforts to be represented by the Writers Guild of America.
Of course, there’s a myspace page too. And in the friends listing, a slew of myspace pages for former Top Model contestants, crazy “Ja’de” among them.
Going for turkey now. Happy gobblee!
