Breaking News!

Bob- Mamma talk news anchor: Breaking news here at the studio. The Mamma Talk writer’s strike is over! After a long standing writer’s strike over at Mamma Talk Bloggy studios, negotiations have finally been reached. We repeat, negotiations have been reached. Although the details were not released to the press, negotiations have been rumored to be upwards of one Zero million dollars. That would make Mamma Talk one of the blogosphere’s newest zero-illionares. Now, let’s cut to Joe, reporter on the street.

Joe-Reporter on the street: Wow. How many zeroes in a Zero-million, Bob?

Bob: That would be one, Joe. Yep. One big, fat zero.

Joe: Wow, Bob! Imagine having that in your wallet!

Bob: It’s something I think about every day, Joe.

Joe: So, here I am standing out front of Mamma Talk studios chatting with Doris here who actually saw the Mamma as she exited Mamma Talk Studios earlier. Isn’t that right, Doris?

Doris: Yes, she rammed that double stroller over my bunion, that one did!

Joe: Did she say anything to you?

Doris: She was muttering something about a zero burning a hole in her pocket.

Joe: Well, thank you, Doris.

Doris: Can a zero do that?

Joe: Back to you in the studio, Bob.

Bob in the studio: Thank you, Joe and Doris. All of us here at Mamma Talk News would like to congratulate the Mamma on her big win. And, knowing the Mamma, she’ll probably triple her earnings in less than a year.

Lighting guy off camera: Now, that’s a lot of zeros.

Bob: I know I can speak for everyone here at Mamma Talk News. Lookin’ forward to more Mamma Talk posts soon! More at eleven.

Larry King

Due to the writer’s strike over at Mamma Talk Bloggy Studios, we will be airing a recent episode of Larry King Live. Mamma Talk executives felt this episode was pertinent to all informed Mamma Talk readers.

Larry King: Tonight, I’ve got an exclusive interview with the lady blogger who has been making headlines. That’s right, none other than the one and only Mamma Talk is here.
We’ll be back for a face to face talk after this…

(Commercial. Commercial. Commercial. Etc.)

Larry King: We’re back here on Larry King Live with the Mamma. Mamma, welcome here tonight.

Mamma Talk: Thanks, Larry. Good to be here.

Larry King: You look well under the circumstances. Can you tell me how this writer’s strike over at Mamma Talk began?

Mamma Talk: I’m so glad to be here to tell my side of the story tonight, Larry. So much has been said about this in the press.

Larry: Yes, I saw the tabloid pictures.

Mamma Talk: Pictures? Larry, those shots were doctored. I’ve never even met Nikki Crumpet. Besides, as I have stated before, she was standing in my light.

Larry: Hmmmm…

Mamma Talk: It all began with a little blog about 6 months ago. I was at home with my two young children. I was in the need of some intellectual challenge.

Larry King: I see.

Mamma Talk: And I started blogging and blogging. And still no pay. No benefits. No 401 K.

Larry King: Interesting.

Mamma Talk: I felt taken advantage of, used, tossed aside…even a little invisible. (squeak)

Larry King: And, you weren’t aware that blogging was not a salaried position?

Mamma Talk: What?

Larry King: I mean, prior to starting your mom blog, you thought there would be…What?... a paycheck or something?

Mamma Talk: (Sigh) All I’m asking for is a little support! A little empathy. A little comment here or there. Mention me to your friends. Subscribe via Feedburner, maybe?

Larry King: That doesn’t seem like a lot to ask. But, you did know, didn’t you, that blogging is not a salaried position. Most blogs make pennies or nothing at all.

Mamma Talk: Larry, why are you grilling me?

Larry King: Just asking a question. I don’t think I’m grilling you. Am I?

Mamma Talk: Larry, did the Big Wigs over at Mamma Talk Studios get to you first? Slip ya a twenty maybe?

Larry King: Absolutely!

Mamma talk: GRRR!

Larry King: I’ve heard you growl a lot on your blog.

Mamma Talk: Yeah, ya got that right, Mister. And, step aside, YOU’RE STANDING IN MY LIGHT!!!

Panicked Director off camera: Cut to commercials, for crying out loud!!!
