Tough Times in Duck Town

This actually really surprises me. Ratings for the premier of this season’s Duck Dynasty were actually down dramatically from last year. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that going on a racist, homophobic rant ain’t great for ratings. (Actually, who knows?) But I’m surprised just the brouhaha itself didn’t juice ratings. I’ve never watched the show. But I could have seen myself tuning in just to see what these dudes were about. Apparently not.
