Parking Authority Fills Writers Strike Void

The writers strike needs to end. This week, there’s three straight nights of Deal or No Deal.

Similarly, the Parking Authority is going to be spotlighted in a reality show on A&E.

Parking Authority spokeswoman Linda Miller said yesterday that A&E crews spent months following some of the authority’s 265 ticket-writers, 23 wheel-booters and 60 towers.

Supervisor Sean Pomroy said the crews would show up at morning roll calls on and off from May until November and more or less randomly pick employees to follow. He said he hadn’t seen much stage fright among his parking-enforcement officers.

“I think it came pretty naturally to the ones they picked,” said Pomroy, who also wrote and produced a hip-hop song about “the people you love to hate” that he said will be used in the series.

Oh, goodie. A hip hop song about the Parking Authority.

Also: Tonight there’s a reality show about Penn State’s campus newspaper. (Thanks, boss!)
