I see mcarthyism is alive and well in the media, any affiliation with a union (even a wishy-washy union like thr writers guild) makes you a part of the soviet union.
George - paranoid much? I was assuming the use of the hammer and sickle was a nod to the original tattoos, but not all of us can be as in tune to the media conspiracy.
@melina - i think that at least one of them is supposed to be harvey weinstein.
