			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>While the writers&#8217; strike in Hollywood was going on, BoomTown has been offering up suggestions about stuff to watch.</em></p>
<p>Of all the many videos out there, the most promising to me have been the many, many spoof videos the writers have done about the strike that just ended.</p>
<p>Along with terrific videos of the strike itself from the front lines at places like <a href="http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/">United Hollywood</a>, there were tons of really well-produced online videos by writers, who are now back to plotting sitcoms and dramas for television and writing film blockbusters.</p>
<p>Too bad, as they have done some amazing work in the online space and one hopes it will continue.</p>
<p>Here is a very funny one called &#8220;How the Writers Strike Ended: Script Cops&#8221;:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20071210/the-never-ending-story-the-writers-strike-continues/">collapse of the talks between writers and Hollywood studios</a> to end the strike might seem more like a tragedy&#8211;a shoot-your-idiot-selves-in-the-foot tragedy, of course&#8211;you have to love all the very funny writers&#8217; strike parodies being put on the Web.</p>
<p>In fact, it feels like the first good stuff to come out of Hollywood made specifically for the Web, rather than a rehashing of hash and repurposed hackery. Nothing like a crisis to focus on what is really important!</p>
<p>While it is a tad violent, although more in a Tom-and-Jerry way, here&#8217;s a video from Alec McNayr, a producer with Space Shank Media, about how the talks are really going:</p>
