Meanwhile, in Rio they blame the poor attendance on the fact the weather was so good. Giants stadium at the Meadowlands was not full. Think about that. There are 20 million people in commuting distance of Giants stadium. 8M in NYC alone. No matter how pitiful a team the Giants field they are always sold out. Yet they couldn’t find 50,000 people who cared enough to fill the stadium.

No - no - no. You MUST be lying.

Al Gorebbels told me that 2 billion people would be watching. The MSM repeated that figure countless times. So often, on fact, that it is now truth.

So stop lying. Two billion people watched and the event was a smashing success. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah - if anyone didn’t watch, it was clearly because they were too distracted by GEORGE BUSH’S unjust and illegal war!

There.

Of course they can! They are a perpetual lunacy machine!

Just wait for the left-wing bloggers to start theorizing that the “non-terror-event” (per Olbermann) terrorist attacks in England were actually planned by the Bush administration to distract people from Live Earth.

You caught me. I'm really Karl Rove and I started Live Dirth as a distraction from the Libby pardon which was just a way to keep people from following the surge which was just put in place to take people's minds off gas prices which were artificially driven up to distract people from the Downing Street Memo which was planted so people would forget those memos I leaked to Dan Rather. Guess I'm busted.

Live Earth concert gets lukewarm response
Theresa Smith
July 09 2007 at 07:23AM

The South African leg of the weekend’s series of Live Earth concerts around the globe got off to a slow and late start.

The gates opened later than the original broadcast time on Saturday, but not that too many people seemed to mind or even realise that the concert was meant to start at 6pm, as the publicity surrounding the whole event was minimal.

As the Drum Cafe and Soweto Gospel Choir started the concert half-an-hour late, people continued to trickle in to join a well-behaved, placid group rattling around the floor of the Coca-Cola Dome in northern Joburg.

The initial turnout was disappointing, and the Dome never filled up.


Now, contrast that with all the news stories this morning saying that Live Earth Johannesburg was a sold out event. And these are from only one search engine.

LIES.

So people only buy tickets right before the event? How long had the tickets been on sale and did these people who didn’t buy tickets have some sort of future vision that the weather would be lousy that day?
What a phoney balogna!

I was in Jo’Burg a month ago. Spent the night at a hotel at the airport before leaving the next AM for Botswana. Night time low was 41F ... the week before temperatures had dropped to the mid-30’s. Low temperatures, combined with one of the most appalling crime rate for any major city in the world, certainly played a role in the low turnout. Top this off with a host who is one of the most unappealing individuals imaginable ... Al Gore ... and you are assured a record low turnout ... not only in Jo’Burg but around the world.

From the “Urban Dictionary:”

1. Gore Effect

The phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Hence, the Gore Effect.

- Australia, November 2006: Al Gore is visiting two weeks before summer begins. The Gore Effect strikes: “Ski resort operators gazed at the snow in amazement. Parents took children out of school and headed for the mountains. Cricketers scurried amid bullets of hail as Melburnians traded lunchtime tales of the incredible cold.” (The Age)

- New York, March 2004: “Gore chose January 15, 2004, one of the coldest days in New York City’s history, to rail against the Bush administration and global warming skeptics... Global warming, Gore told a startled audience, is causing record cold temperatures.” (NY Environment News)

And Al didn’t even have to show up in South Africa.
