    Hollywood writers turn to Sand Hill Road for handouts



    As the writers' strike wears on in Hollywood, TV and film scribes have turned to plotting startup strategies instead of scripts, the Los Angeles Times reports.

    These wantrepreneur writers are taking inspiration from Will Ferrell's FunnyOrDie.com and former MTV executive Rob Barnett's MyDamnChannel.com. Now that's hilarious.

We don't know who's fooling whom here, but it all sounds like a great idea for a sitcom.
