Eisner's got his own point of view on the strike:

I've seen stupid strikes, I've seen less stupid strikes, and this strike is just a stupid strike." He also suggested that the writers weren't placing blame on all responsible parties -- such as Apple -- saying that, "The only real winner here is Steve Jobs. They should be striking up at Cupertino or wherever he is."
