Hey, welcome fryfan! Enjoy it here.
Er, anyway, that was a great interview. I can totally see where Billy is coming from. He's always brought something special to his work. (I mean, just look at Fry...the writers and Billy West developed that character as a team--the writing was fantastic, but without someone to bring it to life like West did, you've got nothin'.) It's unfair that they'll pay some big-name celebrity millions to do a plastic voice for a character who could be so much more, while a man who is really dedicated to his work is stuck at the bottom of the ladder. He's been around so much longer than any of these celebrity voice-over "artists" who don't have anything on Billy West. It's always great to see a man who loves his job (as West obviously does), and it's really awful to see him gettin' screwed by the medium he loves, like that.
Also, I'm going to do my Happy Dance of Joyous Glee...Futurama might be coming back! Not like we didn't already come to that conclusion ourselves, but it's always great to see someone who's pretty much on the inside track giving us even more hope.

The Onion AV Club is completely real. It's all reviews of movies, music, books, video games, etc, with a few extra columns and usually an interview or two. On actual physical copies of The Onion (which is only printed in a few cities, luckily for me Denver being one of them) they print it in the back to differentiate the fake/satirical articles from the real ones.
And yeah, I'd have to second a lot of what West says in the article. Even just as a movie watcher, I've gotten sick of animated movies where they just put in a bunch of lame jokes and write characters to fit celebrities, instead of the other way around. Of the CGI films I think Pixar is the only one that really gets it; they know to write a good story and characters first, and then get the people that can play those characters well (whether or not they're famous), instead of having the entire movie revolve around the celebrities the way Dreamworks' and Fox's movies always do.
