Job penguins, again.

We lose some media to NYC, and all the while steal some of the film industry from LA.

The Dukes has some great Atlanta roots. Bo Duke went to high school in Sandy Springs and Cooter became our congressman.

I can't find the original article, but it was talking about how penguins go and steal stones from other nests, and then the victims in turn go and steal stones from other nests. It was compared to how Georgia uses tax incentives to lure businesses, while at the same time it loses other businesses.

So, what do you propose as a better way of going about things?

Dunno, just an observation.

Perhaps we should have chained the Atlanta anchors to the CNN studio so they couldn't leave

I admit I exaggerated. There are some types of film and tv projects we're not ready for yet, but there's no reason we can't do a show in which automobiles do stunts.

Every film and TV show of any consequence that I've worked on in Atlanta, has cast all of us "locals" in day roles or supporting players. Any key characters or leads are brought in from Los Angeles.

I love what is going on in Georgia, but Hollywood is here because it's cheap.
