Only if you can risk getting a lot of hard 1 liners that "lead" to nowhere...

Not cost effective. Even Chinese Prison Labor can't compete with what they pay writers here.
Most writers work on spec. No sale, no payment. You can work for months on a script with nothing to show for it but a bunch of rejection slips and a few of your gags mysteriously appearing on different shows.
What the writers are asking for isn't outrageous, just a share in the internet rights for what they wrote.

"writers are the most screwed people in all of entertainment"
what a bold and ignorant statment. What is it exactly that a writer risks when he writes a script? Nothing.
Writers have no risk involved, they get paid upfront. They never have a fear of losing money on a script that they do not personally finance.
No risk, no reward. By your logic, cooks at McD's should make more than managers because they "work" more.

It wouldn't matter to me.
I'm not viewing the crud they're broadcasting these days.
I spend my entertainment hours on Boomerang.
