Live political debate in Jordan goes about as well as expected.

Posted by Jon Henseler on

Do it Jordan! Do it! Man I'll tell you what I'd watch a LOT more Fox News or CNN if this was the type of entertainment it was bringing to the table. Hell I think I might just move to Jordan at this point. I mean yeah there's the threat of suicide bombers and that constant sun can't be good for a ginger but screw it! If this is the type of TV I'm missing out on those seem like worthwhile risks. 

Seriously though when is American TV going to get it together? All in the last week there was the naked body painter on the Thailand version of America's Got Talent, you've got Jordan political leaders going John Wayne during live TV and Argentinian Dancing with the Stars is more NSFW than most sites on the internet. Get your act together American broadcasters! People wonder why we're falling behind. Keep this up and pretty soon the Super Bowl losers shirts will be shipped to us.

PS: I just picture the program director at C-SPAN watching this and letting out a heavy sigh. Like why can't this happen during our live telecasts of Congress twiddling their thumbs! 

Double PS: Is C-SPAN still a thing? Like do people watch that regularly? I mean I feel like if you watch C-SPAN any amount of time it might be time to re prioritize your life*. I remember when my family first got cable and we only got 'A' cable. Remember that? When there was 'A' and 'B' cable? 'A' cable had all the extra news channels, C-SPAN's 1 and 2 and Univision. 'B' cable had MTV, ESPN, Comedy Central and basically every awesome channel ever. Most houses had both. My house got just 'A.' Most depressing thing of all time. #firstworldproblems
