Less than two full days into the WGA strike, Alexander, Ruler Of The World, the ruby red and fancifully appointed apartment complex situated directly across the street from Paramount's WGA-targeted Van Ness service gate, appears at surface to be suffering from a concentrated bout of attention envy. Alexander, Ruler Of The World has, over the course of six months, forged a sizable Van Ness attention spotlight. By strategically choosing the service gate across the street as a picketing locale, WGA strikers have dimmed that spotlight considerably - one might say they've thrown a wrench into it - and as a result, Alexander, Ruler Of The World has been receiving an estimated 60% fewer "Oh My Holy Would You Look At That Monstrosity" reactions per day.
Alexander, Ruler Of The World's diminishing self esteem, feelings of inferiority, longing and general resentment of the circumstances of the last two days should come as no surprise, and we should not expect to see those feelings subside while picketers are present at the Van Ness gate.
Tough luck, Alex. This would never happen to the House of Davids.
