After talks between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers broke down on late Sunday, the writers launched an attack on AMPTP.

Locals in Encino, California report seeing a shower of missiles rain on the office building of the AMPTP, severely damaging the exterior. No one was reported to be hurt as the building occupants had already been evacuated after the alarm sounded ten minutes before the missiles striked.

The WGA had already been in negotiations with the AMPTP regarding a bigger share of revenue generated by the sale of TV shows and films over the Internet and also from the sale of DVDs. The studios refused to agree with their demands citing that it will hamper ‘attempts to experiment with new media’. The retaliation by the writers means that American television will be immediately hit, followed by the movie industry. Shows like ‘The Tonight Show’ would be forced to do reruns if last ditch negotiations still fail, a NBC source confirmed with Rotters.

“This will affect our viewership ratings. Jay Leno’s jokes are only funny once. If you watch them again you would rather go to sleep,” lamented the source.

The last time Hollywood writers went on strike was in 1988 when writers were engaged in a fierce urban battle in downtown L.A which lasted 22 weeks. Damage to public and private property from the gunfights and airstrikes amounted to $500 million.
