:fp:

i am not sure what deserves the facepalm more:

1. there is an actual show with the name "honey boo boo" on tv...

or

2. more people ages 18-49 saw the honey boo boo show than the potential vp's prime time speech...

Honey Boo Boo bests Paul Ryan for TV ratings on Fox News in key demographic

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-08 ... n-fox-news

The fourth episode of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," TLC's reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family, drew more viewers in a key demographic Wednesday night than vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention drew on Fox News, the nation's biggest cable news network.

Among adults 18-49, the show pulled a 1.3 rating with 2.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen.

The half-hour series is a spinoff from TLC's hit "Toddlers and Tiaras."

    Right. Because Ryan's speech was ONLY shown on Fox News. This comparison is ridiculous.

    Dude, would have to actually change the channel from FOX to know if it's actually being aired on another network. ... But yeah it aired on every major cable news network ... But I'm guess long you were being sarcastic. ;0)

    Honey Boo Boo. Sounds like a good place to encrypt some subliminal messages. What do you suppose they would say? :corn:

    Hearing about that show and listening to all the election crap (and crap news) makes me realise how much I do not miss the states.....

    That was my point. I watched the entire RNC on CNN and am currently watching the DNC on the same channel (I like their commentary best out of the main three).

    Both are/were being shown on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, C-SPAN, ABC, NBC, and CBS, and maybe a few other channels.

    I found PBS's coverage to be the least annoying. Less shit flashing on the screen, smarter/quieter talking heads and better guests.
