Duty Calls - Yet another job interview coming up. I'll probably post a bit later today.
Free Speech - A fair chunk of the blogosphere is up in arms about this incident, where the William Morris Agency is taking legal action against "BoycottHollywood.com".
Some, including are pitching this as a sign of Hollywood's hypocrisy.
But reading the letter on the site above, it seems as if this is more akin to a spam case; BoycottHollywood is asking people to spam, essentially, the Morris Agency. Morris, in its letter, claims that it's wrong to attribute "artists''" political views to their agency.
And, despite my doubts that you'll ever find a Republican at Morris, I think they're right. BoycottHollywood's approach pretty much solicits harassment.
Is Hollywood hypocritical about individual liberties? Of course. I just don't think this case proves it.
