La Perry Becomes Less Scummy

Well, La Perry realised he was wrong (or at least acted like he was in the wrong) and has done right by the WGA.

This bit illustrates quite a lot about La Perry's character:

During the dispute, a lawyer for Perry tried to claim that the writers' firings had nothing to do with contract negotiations but were related solely to "the quality of their work". But the firings came just asHouse Of Payne was being syndicated which is when the big money starts to roll in, and just when the writers were working on Perry's new comedy premiering in January on TBS. Perry's lawyer admitted that one sticking point with the WGA had been residuals from repeats shown on broadcast TV stations. Those residuals are vital to the financial security of showbiz writers even though a pittance to the producers. Perry also refused to agree to a WGA contract giving the writers health care benefits or pensions. Perry fired the writers after warning them some weeks ago that they should “be careful about pushing the WGA deal or you could be replaced,” according to one of the axed scribes.

And it took the NAACP for him to do the right thing?

Now, let's see if he manages to get through Madea Goes To Jail without any homophobia.
