In a surprise turn of events today the
famous "Swan" (noted record promoter and director of the
Digital Screen Actors Guild) announced that a nationwide
strike by all digital actors may be necessary!

Max
Headroom? Never again!

"...and in my humble experience of
dealing with various industury studio executives, both
motion pictures and television, it has become apparent that
digital actors are not being given credit where credit is
due. For example take Dash from ZDTV's Internet Tonight. Not
only is he not given a named credit on the show, but he is
not even listed in the host section on the show's own web
page! This kind of thing is not new. You may recall when ABC
tried to pull a fast one many years ago with Max Headroom! I
say 'Max Headroom? Never again!' and over the years the
situation has become worse... ...if you recall I ran for
this office on the platform of 'digital parts for digital
actors' and I intend to make that a reality, but this lack
of credit where credit is due just burns my splines! If
actors like Dash are not given credit then union members may
have to strike starting on December 1st. As you know this is
one of the busiest time of the year with the Christmas
advertising season, so I hope this situation can be ended
quickly."
