Strike Ring Girls

Exactly what had been missing from the picket lines had been eating at us all week, but now we know what that elusive element was: “ring girls” counting off the days of the strike! Sure, she looks perky now and probably provided a nice morale boost at today’s Fox rally, but once those numbers creep higher and higher as the walkout drags on, her appearance in front of a studio gate toting a DAY 163 sign might make her more of a harbinger of doom and futility than a symbol of resolve and hope. (Unless, of course, she brings along delicious churros, which never fail to raise flagging spirits.)
