VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

According to someone I work with who is the ex of a good voa, FAUX commissioned excellent Simpsons impersonators to use as leverage in previous negotiations to send the message "You are replaceable". No message could be further from the truth. Azaria deserves $50K for Apu alone if you think of how much Apu related merch is sold each year...and that's for a tertiary character!

The jealousy is rampant in virtually every endeavor.

I think that there are 2 groups -
1. those who are thrilled when others succeed (think teachers), and feel happy that they have helped; and
2. those who are thrilled when others fail (think sisters-in-law), and don't feel happy unless they are better than others they haven't helped.

I prefer to be like my 5th Grade Teacher than my sister-in-law.

The Simpsons' cast deserves every penny, if not more. They are succeeding, er . . . have succeeded! They seem to love what they do. I want to be like them . . . not replace them.

don't forget that 3rd group... those who are happy for others in the same industry when they succeed, or when they are rewarded for their hard efforts. {like everyone on this board!} Smile

I can't possibly imagine how anyone could begrudge them the money. They've more than earned it.

Whole post quoting has been attended to.

Don't get sloppy just because I'm offline, you mugs!!
