Infinite MonkeysRoll Call (web article available only to subscribers, alas) reports on Media Vote, a new consulting firm specializing in TV viewer demographics. Among of the more interesting findings of the firm's research is this:
Fox's 'The Simpsons,' long considered a staple of the hip and urban, is actually a Republican stronghold, with 47 percent of viewers Republican, 20 percent Democratic, and 22 percent Independent.
So does that mean that "The Simpsons" is no longer hip? Or that Republicans are secretly hip? Or merely wanna-be urban hipsters? Neither Media Vote nor the Roll Call article offer an answer. Only Birch Barlow knows for sure.

Posted by Ben at April 29, 2004 10:50 AM | TrackBackBen, I'm curious about how the South Park demo would compare. I remember Monkey Robb one time recounting many people's reactions to the show's creators coming out as some variety of conservative.
Robb?
