EFFECT, CROWDS STAY AWAY
The Gore Effect was a no-show at major Live Earth venues, although it did
appear in Johannesburg:
Organisers of Live Earth Johannesburg are convinced climate change is to
blame for the paltry turn-out at the Coca Cola Dome today.
Promoter John Langford claims it snowed last week for the first time in a
quarter of a century, and the freezing conditions are keeping people away.
A lesser Gore Effect was also observed in Shanghai:
Despite soggy weather, the Shanghai Live Earth concert still earned itself a
modicum of success with charismatic acts like Huang Xiaoming, Eason Chan and
Joey Yung.
Locally, we witnessed the very first manifestation of the Al Gore III
Effect:
Nineteen people have been charged with various drug offences at the Live
Earth concert in Sydney yesterday.
That's about 17 more than celebrated Live Earth in Brisbane:
Despite the city's reputed love of live music, Brisbane residents were more
interested in classic cars than the worldwide Live Earth concert
extravaganza ...
Nearby, dozens of people milled around a travelling Corvette Club roadshow
as proud owners polished chrome, leather and the glossiest of paintwork.
UPDATE. How were crowds at Live Earth's Washington, DC, leg?
A few hundred spectators turned out for the concert, which began at 10:30
am.
Locals preferred live golf:
People in attendance at the PGA Tour event today in the D.C. area: 37,613,
per a local sports channel.

(crap sniped)
So how many hundreds of millions attended or watched? Aaah, couldn't hear
that number, could you say it again?
Now very few chicken hawks made it to the gig, they would have had to leave
their trailer parks.

Rio had 400k people.
Name me one conservative talk show person who could command those numbers
alone. Not to mention Wembley and Giant's Stadium just for fun.
You're on the clock.
