Oh No, What Are We All Going To Do ?

Terrible news today.

Women in Hollywood earn less than men.

Robert Downey Jr. earned $75m last year. Angelina Jolie did a whole year's work, and had to get by on $33m.

I feel personally discriminated against.

This is clearly the sort of scandal that demands urgent attention.

If she didn't get her dresses for free from designers who want her to wear their label, I would wonder how she clothed herself.

[jno]

do you make Hollywood movies? If so you are indeed discriminated against.

All men are pigs.

she could always ask brad for a loan

And the women aren't allowed to get fat or age, unlike men. They have to be more topless/nude scenes, too.

[Svejk]

And they, sometimes, have to look at producers on the casting couch. Unlike the men.

AJ will just have to cut down on the number of purchases she makes from Orphanages!

It's actually all to do with their box office pulling power.

Downey Jr earned a massive amount because he's got the key role in the successful Iron Man franchise.

Angelina Jolie may be a good actress who makes decent films, but she doesn't put bums on cinema seats to the same extent. If I'm wrong about this and she does, then she needs to get herself a new agent.

I am discriminated against because I get paid less for doing a proper job than these entertainment industry folk get for play acting around or singing a song, or kicking a ball about, or telling a joke, or daubing some paint, or showing half an unmade tent in formaldehyde, or just being a celeb, or hiring the folk who managed to get on this gravy train, etc.. Where is my multi million pound mansion ?

[-Talbot-]

Women/men acting alongside other women/men are on different earnings that's the nature of the business.

It's not like Bricklaying that pays exactly the same per thousand whatever sex you are.

[ummmm]

Whatever sex you are...or pretend to be.

It's the free market, stupid. USA! USA! etc.
