Simpsons Stoppage?
CNN is reporting the actors behind the Simpsons are in a work stoppage right now. Standard reason. Now, on the one hand all these people do is go in a few times a week, sit in a studio, and read lines for a few hours. $2.7 million a year seems pretty good pay for that kind of work. On the other hand, the show's been running for 16 years, and Fox makes God knows how much money on the thing. There is an argument for getting a bigger piece of the pie there.
$100,000 per episode for reading a script, not learning lines or acting, simply sitting down and reading a script. I would think they are more than adequately compensated. This has got to be the all time perfect job.

Yeah, she's another one of them shit-for-brains scientologists. Sad. The voice of Bart Simpson. D'oh!
