I'm not sure if this story is a joke. I actually believed it until I read the threats being made.

Larry Sanford has been part of the Writers Guild of America for 12 years coming this June. He's had a successful career in the entertainment industry and he says that he's ready to get back to what he does best.
"We're getting nowhere with negotiations. What we need is leverage to get what we want. Unfortunately our written words that make millions for studios and producers isn't enough, so we're planning on changing that."
Sanford, who attended a business class at Long Beach State, says that he learned a thing or two of negotiations and he's implementing what's called, "gorilla tactics," according to his angry words. He said that it needs to go beyond protests and says to think back of Vietnam when the hippie movement was more than just a couple of signs pleading for peace. "It's anarchy," as he put it.
Sanford has been out of the limelight for most of his career, which gives him the opportunity to carry out his plans. Because he often changes the way he looks, some of his close friends don't recognize him at times. He's also been very open and confident about his plans of destruction. When told by friends that police would consider his plans as acts of terrorism and could be arrested for even mentioning them, he laughed.
Although there are lots of rumors mixed in with the actual plans of Larry Sanford's, the studio's believe they must be on guard and ready for anything.
Major studio's have implemented such security measures as placing under cover officers on the picket line, more bicycle patrol in and around the studio, searching more cars than normal and an overall awareness. They have also said, "If Larry comes around here and we believe he's a threat, we will take him down," one studio representative told us, who requested her name not be used.
As far as Larry's plans, we can't verify any of them, but we've heard many ideas, which include: Water balloons, squirt guns, hurling mud and eggs at cars that cross the picket line and even letting air out of executive and producers tires.
Larry said, "Anything can happen. All I can say is, I think they'll get the message."
