The Writers Guild of America says it has instructed its 13,000 members to fire their talent agents at midnight on Saturday, unless their agents sign a new “Code of Conduct” agreement that promises they will do away with packaging fees and their stakes in production companies.

The “Writers Guild” - now THERE’S a friggin’ joke.
All those drug-snorting, Hollywood homos know how to do is to go through a list somewhere and find the latest comic book that HASN’T been made into a movie (or which one hasn’t been remade recently) or what classic they can re-make with an all black / gay / transgender cast.
Maybe their agents should fire THEM and find some REAL writers somewhere.

yeah, i’m sure that’s going to happen ... 13,000 breach of contract lawsuits by the agencies ...
btw, aren’t the writers smart enough to sign with agents that DON’T have such conflicts of interest without being “ordered” to?
i imagine this whole thing is about propping up the 12,900 hack writers, because the 100 actually GOOD writers should be able to write their own tickets ...
