Here’s just another unfortunate case of the name of our fair Los Angeles being co-opted into something designed, whether intentional or not, to support the stereotype that LA is a hollow den of wolves and sharks waiting to taking advantage of you. It’s unfortunate that it happens, but it happens wherever there’s a wealth of both talent and people wanting desperately to succeed.

Just keep in mind that the awards that mean anything in comedy are ones you weren’t trying to win and just were being undeniably funny, not the ones set up where people have to pay to vote.
