According to preliminary ratings numbers from the networks, more than 26 million people watched the program on CBS, NBC or Fox. That's 3 million more than usually watch those networks at that hour, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Averaging in the cable networks that also carried the event, about 30 million people in all saw the long-form campaign ad.
Sorry to play on the phrase from the British press when Bush won in 04, but are you fucking kidding me? 30 million people tuned into this turd-fest? Doesn't anyone have a partner to bang? Wood to chop? Babies to shake violently? Old ladies to push down the stairs? Anything?
Apparently not. It looks like America is filled with at least 30 million losers, who couldn't find anything to do other than watch an informercial. Since I didn't see it, I wonder how many people were waiting for the Zack Morris look-alike, with a headset on, grab a sponge and soak up 48 gallons with one swipe. The miracle sponge would've been more interesting than a wind-bag in a suit.
I for one cannot wait for the election to be over. I have tried to stay neutral, however, these Americans have put me over the edge. While I'll have to call and apologize to Bill Shatner, I am throwing my hat behind McCain. I am doing this because, like Imus said this morning, I want to see the most chaos. And a win for McCain would certainly send millions into a frenzy, crying out about a stolen "racist" election. Let the chaos begin.
