TRUMP-O-MAGIC
Now Tubularsock recently has been leaving his top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA at 3AM in the morning and riding his bicycle about the city. Tubularsock calls this stealth-exercise.
But riding through empty streets in the crisp-air and very little traffic is a good way to do some thinking. So Tubularsock has been thinking.
You know how we Americans are accused of being a celebrity culture? And you also already know that we ARE a celebrity culture. The question really is, is there ANY CULTURE in celebrity?
Well if you had any doubt to this “charge” of celebrity culture the First Republican “Debate” has made it clear.
Twenty-four million people tuned into that “debate”. Twenty-four million! For a political “debate” in the U.S. of A.!
And according to CNNMoney that figure “tripled the largest audience for any previous debate” in the history of the United States!
That was One-million MORE than the viewership of the last game of the 2014 World Series and even Letterman’s last show viewership was only 13.7 million and Letterman IS a celebrity!
And you know why everyone tuned in …….. Donald Trump.
And out of all the potential Republican candidates who is the ONLY ONE who stated HE HAD “WON” the debate? Donald Trump!
And who was the only potential candidate who had nearly every statement he made quoted the following day in the maimed-stream-press ……. Donald Trump.
And who hasn’t a ghost of a chance of being picked to be the Republican Presidential Candidate ………… Donald Trump.
Yet, 24 million people tuned in to see just what The Donald was going to do.
Tubularsock had more fun trying to find a way to watch The Donald than watching this boring collection of pre-paid corporate slave-boys act like they had an independent thought.
BORING.
Now if you didn’t have cable TV then you couldn’t really watch this debate. Now this is a debate for the possible leader of the United States. A possible President for all the people not just those with access to cable TV. But unless you had cable access a citizen wasn’t able to watch it ……. in theory.
Tubularsock has no TV so had to hunt down a way to watch it other than the way FOX had created so as to have a revenue stream for advertising.
In those situations the solution is always …… YouTube.
On YouTube there is always someone and usually dozens of people who are streaming everything either by screen-capture or filming it off a TV and showing it on their YouTube Channel.
It is always the go-to-to-go-around.
The quality isn’t always that good but just how much of that Republican-Shit can one take anyway?
The bottom line is: Even The Donald isn’t interesting enough to carry this amount of boredom!
One thing for sure …… the next “debate” won’t have the numbers again. The public wants a show from our celebrities and when they don’t produce the interest declines.
Just how often can you really watch THE KOCH BROTHERS’ THE PRICE IS RIGHT?
