Puppy Bowl IV outdraws first three quarters of Super Bowl XLII
GLENDALE, AZ ﾃ｢竄ｬ窶 Early Nielsen polls for Sunday evening provided some unexpected news for producers of Animal Planetﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢s Puppy Bowl IV.
ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ展e beat the Super Bowl?!ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ exclaimed executive producer Melinda Toporoff. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ哲o FUCKING way!ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
The Puppy Bowl, which features a group of 100% adorably cute puppies running around and play-fighting for three hours, narrowly defeated Super Bowl XLII viewership in the United States through the first three quarters.
ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ的t truly is a great day for America,ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ David Zaslav, President of Discovery Communications, Inc. ﾃ｢竄ｬ窶 which owns Animal Planet ﾃ｢竄ｬ窶 told SSNN. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ擢irst the Patriots lose; thank God! And second, Puppy Bowl dominated the airwaves for over two hours.ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
The Super Bowl numbers returned to normal dominance in the fourth quarter, as fans began to tune back just in time for the thrilling finale. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ的 checked up on it online,ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ said Gabe Taylor, an average football fan who wears a retainer. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ鉄o I knew when to tune back in. In the meantime, I just couldnﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢t get enough of those ferociously loveable pups playing tug of war and drinking from a water dish. Thatﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢s quality entertainment - I mean, I think that just appeals to the everyman more than some football game.ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
Even up and coming sportswriter Jay Moline decided to watch the puppies over the comparatively dull beginning of Super Bowl XLII. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ的ﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢ve been through three previous New England Super Bowls, and they were all completely boring until the very end, commercials and/or wardrobe malfunctions included. Besides, those puppies are way cuter than Brady and his ﾃ｢竄ｬﾋ從ever returns your callsﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢ cleft chin.ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
Not all television watchers were thrilled about the Puppy Bowlﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢s historic victory, though. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ典his is ridiculous,ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ inmate Michael Vick reportedly said, as he watched the Puppy Bowl while lifting weights. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ的 arrange dog fights, I go to jail. Animal Planet arranges a doggy royal rumble and everyone loves it. This country sucks.ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
Tom Brady was also unhappy to hear the news that his fourth Super Bowl appearance was largely ignored by viewers. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ典his is the worst half-birthday of my life!ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ he told SSNN when informed of the Nielsen results. ﾃ｢竄ｬﾅ擢irst, my mom gets me the I Love Lucy Barbie instead of the Frenchy from Grease Barbie, then we lose the Super Bowl and our perfect season, and now we lose the ratings battle to a bunch of mutts! I told Bill [Belichick] we shouldﾃ｢竄ｬ邃｢ve cheated again.ﾃ｢竄ｬﾂ
