Glenn Beck’s ‘Christmas Sweater’ flops in major cities, 17 tickets sold in New York, Boston

Glenn Blech is not someone I usually post about, that's Paddy's department. However, there are exceptions to everything, and this is such a lovely one:

Last night, Fox News host Glenn Beck premiered his new live show based on his book The Christmas Sweater, which was simulcast to hundreds of movie theaters across the country.

Here comes the good part. Prepare yourselves for BlechFail in 5...4...3...2...:

Despite heavy promotion on Beck’s radio and TV shows, and in-theater trailers, ticket sales were weak in major cities: Beck sold only 17 tickets in Boston, another 17 in New York, and just 30 in Washington, DC. [...]

While it performed better in the south and in rural, more conservative areas, his ability to draw viewers in major US markets was a bust.

“The theater’s almost empty,” a representative at Regal Cinemas in Manhattan told Raw Story moments before it began.

The viewing in Lynnwood, WA — the closest one to Beck’s Mount Vernon hometown — sold out several hours before the show began. Ten miles south, 70 out of 415 seats had been snagged in Seattle, a better turnout than other cities.

All together now: Awwww.

Blogger Joseph Childers reports that the production value looked “cheap,” and “the bulk of the evening consists solely of Glenn Beck acting out every role in his hokey story, with only his limited repertoire of accents and pantomime filling out the ‘cast’.”

Couldn't happen to a schmuckier, more despicable guy. May his lack of success and total humiliation continue. Merry freakin' War on Christmas, Glenn.
