6. These boys are a big part of the problem....
Helping dumb down America big time.
I'm in a quandary, as a union man I always support strikers, but these jokers and the crap they crank out is so Gawddamn destructive.

7. The writers aren't the problem
It's the producers who think everyone has the mentality of an 8 year old and demand that the writers "dumb it down"
