7. Canada on Strike
When the Writer’s Guild of America went on strike in 2007-08 it did a lot to affect television programming and the plots to several series. It did not achieve, however, its goal of getting writers a share of internet revenues.
In this satirical jab at the Guild, the World Canadian Bureau leads the entire nation of Canada on strike. Perturbed by how it has affected his brother Ike, Kyle sets out the settle the strike. Canada demands some of “that internet money.” In the end it is agreed upon that though the internet is lucrative, it has not reached a point where content online can be fully monetized.
