And yet another reason to love Steve Carell

Bittersweet:

Production is shutting down on The Office because Steve Carell refuses to cross the Writers' picket lines to go to work.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Marchant have no morals. They would cross the picket line.

We don't seem to get the American Office anymore. Very annoying.

not because he's got no scripts to work with then . Its easy to be moral when you are rich

Good for him!

Mum, if it's so easy to be moral when you're rich, then why are so many rich immoral?

Everything is easy when you're rich. Except being humble... I happen to be the exception that proves the rule. Well, me and Verb and Bly and Blu and Emma and Vanda and David-the-mad-Budweiser Bowler. How is David?

Mel, harship aside, they're immoral because they don't have to be moral. for more people, greed increases with the more they get.

In hollywood being a good guy gets you a fan base his support is probably just a calculated ploy to make him look gvod while actually suffering fuck all hardship himself . perhaps if he were poor and had kids to feed he;d cross a picket line

I'm immoral. Does that mean I'm rich?

Oh Baloney Mems. You can be rich and have principals (it sometimes happens). Steve is also a writer's guild member (He wrote last night's episode) so of course he shouldn't cross a picket line.

On the other hand I saw Eva Longoria handng out pizzas on the picket line and acting worried about "her hair and makeup artist" being affected by the strike and not having enough to make ends meet. She and her other costars should forego one of their $100,000/per episode paychecks and divvy it up among the crew members.

i loved at the end where jim was sitting with michael and jim suddenly realized that michael is not as big of an ass as he thought. it was priceless.

And maybe he wouldn't. When I was a kid all the local super markets went on strike and my family wouldn't cross the picket lines. We had to go Waaaayyyyy out of our way to get groceries.

I'm grumpy tonight - lots of the same people who are meticulous about picket lines when it costs them nothing bitch and moan like they've been gut-shot when air traffic controllers, teachers or garbage-men strike.

Perhaps the writer's strike is a good thing, and shouldn't be interfered with.
