Click here for some of the more inventive invective from this year's WGA strike!

"We write the story-a for Eva Longoria," above.

Theirs is a complicated battle, one with hefty support on both sides. Since waging war on November 5th of this year, the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have gone back and forth over issues surrounding DVD residuals, reality programming, and online media. Despite the promise of level-headed negotiations, AMPTP President Nick Counter has said, "We're not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads��������that's just stupid." Ultimately, writers seem to be winning over the general public, if not for their David-Goliath struggle, than for their assured relationships with stars like Tina Fey, Sandra Oh, and Eva Longoria. Oh, and they've got little kids holding signs. (It was like that pro-life march our aunt forced us into in 1989... how cute!) Below, our picks for the most imaginative picket signs, and a list of the sticks-and-stones strike anthems taking over your televisions (can we all just stop with the Amy Winehouse references?). It's all become so very Norma Rae, especially since "Brothers & Sisters" star Sally Field decided to show. ��������Nick Haramis

"We write the fiction, we want jurisdiction" "No more scripts, no more pages, soon we'll empty all your stages" "We write the story-a for Eva Longoria" "Who's got more money than they can count? Paramount!" "They tried to make me do a rewrite, but I said, No! No! No!"
