The following is a parody based solely upon hearing people complain about her sex scenes. But I've been informed by annathepiper and solarbird that I MUST POST IT.

And then! His slick vampire salami oozed its way into her moist, uxorious crevices! The irregular pounding of his moist knob synchronized with her heartbeat in a way which reminded her of the Categorical ( Read more... )

This writers' strike, man. The more I learn about it the more I'm horrified at the AMPTP and their ridiculous disingenousness. But still I keep seeing responses from people who seem to think that the WGA is staffed with overprivileged whiners who want more money to pad their ludicrously large wallets already.
