As I thought... 'Live Earth' was Ho-Hum

Just search on the Inter-Web and get the real scoop on how well AlBore's "Live Earth" concerts did overall in TV ratings and ticket sales. And guess what?

"Live Earth" didn't sell out in the live venues, and in America and Britain, the TV ratings were nothing to boast about: Britian's Wembley broadcast had lower ratings than the Concert For Diana, and in the U.S., NBC's 3-hour special had no better ratings than any other Saturday night, which is the worst night for TV watching, according to the Nielsen folks.

The concert promoters in various venues were complaining that tickets didn't sell out because the audience just wanted to see the bands, and not all the ads, lectures by AlBore, videos, and other fillers crammed in between songs.

Also, there were a lot of complaints by TV viewers about 4-letter words being uttered by the performers (what else is new?). The only highlight is on the Inter-Web, where a lot of users logged into the video streams for a short time... and for for FREE.

Looks like once more AlBore and his fellow junk-science peddlers in the Eco-Whacko-left OVERestimated the stupidity of Average Joe.
