And I thought Tube drivers were overpaid... what about The Simpsons?

"It looks like The Simpsons could fall victim to its owner's costcutting drive.


Fox (itself owned by Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp) has seen the world's longest running TV show go from no hope cartoon to global phenomenon, with more than 100 countries tuning in to see everyone's favourite yellow family every single day -- but according to The Daily Beast, if the lead actors don't accept a 45 per cent pay cut, the plug is going to be pulled on Springfield.


The thing is, each of the lead actors, namely Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) are all currently on $8 million contracts... per season." -- AOL website

$8 MILLION DOLLARS PER SEASON!!! TO READ A F*CKING SCRIPT IN A STUPID VOICE... absolutely beggars belief.

Rant over.
