AMEN. I LOVED this. It's spot on. I've been hearing this buzz phrase, "trigger person" and it's always some smarmy producer who is exactly what you say they are, people who just want to say they were involved in something but do NO work. The worst part is, these people always seem to be able to get financing, and this is based off of an experience I had a few years ago, so apparently I'm still bitter. But these people think they can come up with an idea and pass it off, to which I say, then it's no longer yours. And yes, the pitch-a-thons are always so dissapointing and creepy...this was just a spot-on blog. So cathartic to read that others have similar frustrations! If I could only have the business sense of some of these "trigger people", but I don't because I get busy working so hard on my own stuff.
Seriously?
