Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown is a massive failure. I watched last week’s Tokyo/ No insight into culinary Tokyo. No, it was about sex, pornography, bondage, sexual deviancy.
I turned it off forever.
I used to like Bourdain for his irreverence … but he is just a jerk. Predictably, I don’t like his politics but he’s a not very nice man.
Look at the way he gloated at Paula Deen’s [I don’t like her either] diabetes. He went on and on about how she deserved it, and had it coming.
Yet, if Bourdain had gotten cirrhosis because of his incessant drinking or emphysema from non-stop smoking, I wonder if she would gloat. I think not.
By the same token, is the reason their ratings are taking a further hit is that Al Jaezera is moving farther left than the Communist News Network so ably chronicled but AJ’s viewers like the potential meme of hate the Great Satan, save the environment and bring us Sharia law now that AJ will surely provide once their, thin as tissue veil, is dropped? Socialists can run but they cannot hide. Their arrogance forbids it.
