Sun News, favored by those who like their commentary simple and absolutist, the place where the good guys wear metaphorical white hats and the bad guys black ones, has announced that starting Monday, the dimwitted duo will be hosting a new show called, predictably, Ford nation.
I guess this addition to their lineup will solidify Sun TV network's reputation as a repository of the ridiculous and banal, if any doubts still linger.
No word yet on whether the network is going after broadcasting rights to the World Wrestling Federation as a followup.
Heh. IF they did go after the WWF demographic, the average IQ of SNN viewers would shoot up about 10 points.
ReplyDeleteA good one, double nickel!
DeleteLorne, Sun's ratings are very poor. Who knows these two clowns may improve the ratings. People may watch them for fun.
ReplyDeleteBut since they are not available on basic cable, at least here in my area, LD, I wonder if anyone will purchase the next tier to watch these clowns, Their money might be better-spent at the circus, where the real pros of buffonery hang out.
DeleteI have Sun News in HD. It is a part of package from Rogers. I cannot stand it and never watch. But I may tune in first time for these buffoons and that will probably be the last time.
DeleteWho says, Lorne, that we don't reward stupidity?
ReplyDeleteAn increasingly sad truth, Owen, especially in the public arena.
DeleteAs Kevin O'Leary on Dragons' Den stated, "the viewing audience of Sun TV consists of a guy and his two dogs". As stated above, maybe the ratings will increase to a guy and his three dogs.
ReplyDeleteIn which case, the new investment by the network will be well-worth it within that parallel universe where Sun TV exists, Anon.
DeleteI wonder if America's talk show hosts aren't underwriting this? They have never had so much great material handed to them on a platter as they've received via the Bloated Buffoon. He's their Golden Goose and they fear mightily that he might fall into some pit of shame and obscurity. He's "Captain Hookers'n Blow" for them.
ReplyDeleteHe is indeed the gift that keeps on giving, Mound, with little effort required by the shows' staff writers. How do you satirize a living and breathing parody?
