Bill
Maher, Keith Olbermann and the MSNBC all-stars, et. al., have
collectively an audience of a few million people. They garner
disproportionate attention from the new media however. Why?
I think they appeal to
the same audience that went to see Jackass
this weekend. The same reason traffic is slowed to a crawl by
accident-scene gawkers. People like reading about disasters. And
because their antics provide cheap fodder
for lazy bloggers looking to get readers jumping up and down, and
smashing Hummel figures and coffee cups in outrage. Bloggers like
me.

Bill Maher wouldn't make a pimple on a real man's ass.

I went and saw Jackass this weekend.
ReplyDelete:-S
I watched both the Maryland and Redskin games.
ReplyDeleteI had the choice between watching my Cowboys play a football game, or going to watch Jackass. One had the most disgusting, sickening display of "fail" and excrement that I had ever seen...
ReplyDeleteAnd the other starred a bunch of dumbasses performing Jackass stunts.
The choice was obvious; turns out I was right.
Bill Maher, when he was young, was probably smacked on the head at least once a day for his inability to know when to shut up. As an adult, the head smacking will be accomplished with his own hand if he ever realizes what a f****ing annoying bastard he's become.
ReplyDeleteI think you over estimate their popularity. You have double counted their fan base.

Maher is yet another of those "repulsive collection of snide, fuckwit urban hipster twats"™Iowahawk
