Sponsors Drop Ads on Playboy Show

Comcast and NBC’s new show idolizing the “Sexual Revolution,” “The Playboy Club,” continued to bomb in its second week and lost many of its key sponsors.
The show managed only 3.9 million viewers, which was down from the first week’s five million viewers. That was still only a third of what the top two shows in its timeslot earned, “Castle” and “Hawaii Five-O,” which had 11.9 and 11.1 million viewers, respectively.
This meant that NBC again came in fourth out of the five broadcast networks, which include CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW.
The sponsors dissing the show included Kraft, Sprint, Lenovo, UPS, Subway, and Campbell’s Soup.

Family Movie Juggernaut
Written by Tom Snyder (Friday, 30 September 2011 19:04)
THE LION KING and THE SMURFS continued their juggernaut atop the domestic and overseas box office.
THE LION KING remained the No. 1 movie in the United States and Canada, adding another $21.9 million to its 10-day total of $61. When added to its previous grosses, THE LION KING has topped $390 million domestically and is sure to reach $400, which would push it back into the Top 10 all-time domestic chart.
Meanwhile, THE SMURFS is the No. 1 movie overseas for the seventh straight week! It also just passed the $500 million mark worldwide, making it the eighth biggest movie of the year behind CARS 2.
Another family movie, DOLPHIN TALE, wasn’t far behind THE LION KING. It earned $19.15 million in its first weekend and received a rare A+ rating from moviegoers, compiled by CinemaScore.
The success of these family movies made this past weekend the highest-grossing September weekend ever, with $117 million!

TV Kills!
Written by Tom Snyder (Friday, 30 September 2011 18:57)
A new study shows that people who watch more TV don’t live as long as those who don’t.
Australian researchers found that people who watch about six hours of TV a day live about five years less than those who don’t watch any TV. In fact, they found that, after the age of 25, your lifespan shortens by 22 minutes for every hour you watch!
More eating, less physical activity and obesity are the health dangers of watching television, the study found. Also, people who watch more TV than others tend to be more depressed or lonely.
The end result? More cases of diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
