Clearly some WGA member didn't know that pencils down means pencils down. Or is it ok to keep writing as long as its only for the WGA? Or... ? Also, lets acknowledge that while that skit is humorous, what really makes it funny is the actors expressions, which are unwritten. Also, at a full 3 minutes, its rambling and too long and repetitive - I guess they couldn't find an editor from the union or a DGA member to cut that down to size and have it play a little better.
