This Makes Me a Happy Little Cynic
According to the Huffington Post, ratings for many of CNBC's shows, and especially for Jim Cramer's show, have gone down in the 9 days after Jon Stewart slammed the shit out of him (and that assface Rick Santelli - fuck that guy!) on the Daily Show.
The Huffington Post says the findings are extremely preliminary and may not have anything to do with Stewart's skewering of those assholes, but I like to think there is in fact a strong correlation/causation. Here's what HF has to say:
"In the first three days of this week, CNBC's Business Day programming block was down 10 percent in the key demographic of adults 25-to-54 versus the same period the week before, and down 11 percent among total viewers. Meanwhile, Mad Money was also down 10 percent in the 25-to-54 demographic, but only 4 percent among all viewers -- suggesting that maybe some of those bored college kids who watch Jon Stewart did, in fact, tune in to find out exactly what is the deal with this Jim Cramer character."
So maybe some of us "bored college kids" wanted to take a look at the freakshow to find out exactly why Stewart is throwing pies at the morons at CNBC. But now, when all is said and done, will the ratings continue to sink? Let's hope so!
Here's Cramer doing a piss poor job at damage control on the Daily Show on Thursday (the first half, at least...). Could he lick Stewart's a-hole any more? What a doucher!
