The problem isn't about how much they earn, but the share they get on the huge profits studios make! It doesn't matter whether the show is lame, if millions of DVDs (or downloads or TV shows) are sold, the writers should get a piece of the cake.

If the shows are that bad, it's because the majority of the public isn't discerning enough to ask for better quality.

For the record, in the sentence:
"Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins", "rein" is not necessarily kidneys in french but any part of the lower back...
The lyrics are actually quite sexy and just metaphoric enough to be played on the radio at prime time. A jewel of the French language.
