Facebook chump gets low ratings


On Sunday nights, 60 Minutes on CBS averages 14.3 million viewers each week. I'm usually one of the 14.3 mill. It makes me feel smart, plus I like to see how long Andy Rooney's eyebrows are this week.

This past week 60 Minutes featured a piece on Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg... and garnered the lowest rating in 60 Minutes history! I guess the potential viewers were too busy with their face in their laptops.

Now if it were a geeked-out battle to the death between Mark Zuckerberg and Tom from Myspace, it would have been a totally different story.

60 Minutes still beat out NBC's telecast of the Golden Globes press conference -- which was as interesting to watch as watching a small person kick you in the groin.
