Why were the Emmys full of FAIL? It looked like the GOP convention

Last night's Emmys had the lowest viewer ratings ever. This from The Holywood Reporter :

And the award for lowest-rated Emmys ever goes to ...

ABC's Sunday night telecast.

The three-hour 60th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony received a 3.8 rating/9 share in the preliminary adults 18-49 demo -- the lowest in Nielsen's recorded People Meter history.

That's 12% below last year's previous Emmy record low, a ceremony hosted by Ryan Seacrest on Fox.

This year they didn't have just Ryan Secrest (American Idol, E News Daily). They had Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Jeff Probst (Survivor), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal) and Tom Bergeron (Dancing With The Stars). They had 5 friggin' hosts and it still tanked.

By the way : Is it me or does Jeff Probst look like he had (plastic surgery) work done
recently? And what the hell was that about Bergeron dropping poor Heidi Klum on the floor like that? She was a total trooper, I have to say.

Anyway, the real problem was right there at the audience. I honestly don't give a fuck about "stars" verborrheaing about their political preferences (aka, Barack Obama) when not only it looked like not one person of color won any of the Prime-Time Emmys Awards, but the whole friggin' room looked like the GOP's National Convention.

Honestly, had they been wearing seersuckers, it would have been the picture of an (almost) all-white country club. You know, "almost" because you have to throw the token non-white for that "diversity" effect.

I need Public Enemy's "Burn Hollywood Burn" as the soundtrack for this post.
