LA Times Accidentally Lists 'Jackass' in Olbermann's Time Slot By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-08-21 10:27

The Los Angeles Times Calendar section on Thursday accidentally listed MTV's hit series "Jackass" as airing on MSNBC at 7 and 10PM.

7 and 10PM just so happen to be when "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" replays on the West Coast.

Innocent mistake or Freudian slip?

You decide as you read what Andrew Malcolm deliciously reported [1] Friday:

Here is an actual correction from Page A4 of today's print edition:

FOR THE RECORD:

TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday's Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV's "Jackass" show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" should have been listed.

Malcolm marvelously quipped, "It's not the Worst Mistake in the World."

Even better, as a result of this error, "a few thousand people might have tuned into MSNBC, the Obama administration's favorite cable channel, expecting to see a 'Jackass' show and instead they'd have found Keith Olbermann."

As Malcolm wonderfully asked, "[W]hat if nobody noticed the difference?"

snicker.......

[bamahead]

ROFLMAO!

[b4its2late]

I see nothing wrong with it. It’s probably the only correct thing the LA Times has done in years........

[vaudine]

Was this a Freudian slip or a sly dig at Olberwuss?

[VOR78]

I don’t see what the big deal is. Its the same show, isn’t it?

[PRO 1]

Talk about prophetic, the hits just keep on commin’

[FrdmLvr]

I thought it was just Truth in Advertising.

[Kevmo]

Heh. It’s funny, because it’s true.

Who said it was a mistake?

I never watch NBC pregame on Sunday Night or post game shows.

[jiggyboy]

The difference is, you can watch “Jackass” with sound for more than two minutes without wanting to throw a brick through the screen.

[Mr. K]

no, no... they got it right.

I dont understand this articvle- what makes them think it was a mistake?

[kcvl]

They had it right the first time.

[rawhide]

Lol! I forwarded Bill O’Reilly at Fox News the link. He is going to love it!

In 1979 The Boston Globe titled an editorial about a Carter speech:

"More mush from the wimp"

I like this part:

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Maybe it was the same guy who put the word “Socialism” on the Obama-as-Joker poster.

[isom35]

an insult to jackasses everywhere!

[Cicero]

Well, I’ve never watched either one, but I suspect that Jackass is funnier.
