Rubbish Dan. As I've said, the countries I've been in when the last two Olympics were held didn't give much of a toss about them at all. I think the Olympics are basically a television extravaganza for the USA, Canada, Oz and NZ, with a few stragglers thrown in to boot. The World Cup is far more important and monstrous for just about every country not mentioned.
Yes, as Australians that might be true, likewise for the Yanks. But for most other countries around the world this isn't the case at all, so I wish you'd stop presuming and talking as if it was.

And Dipper, don't get pedantic with me buddy. 5 billion, 6 billion whatever. The exact number is virtually incalaculable; The rough estimate is all that matters for the purposes of the point. The whole point which you missed with your pedanticness was that the audience for both events is nowhere near the 2-billion-odd specified. I don't believe that this audience is a possibility given the living conditions, time differences, etc in most of the world. Stop being so immature and irrelevant in your argument. Keep to the discussion instead of running of on a tangent about the size of the World's population (and I obviously know the rough estimate of the worlds popualtion - 5 billion, 6 billion, somewhere in that vicinity. You'll excuse me if I don't bother to consult the Encyclopaedia for every friggin thing I post.Gee, I though I was getting marked on this.
Maybe you don't need me Dufus, but perhaps a dictionary might be of some use. The word you are looking for my dear boy is pedantry. Try not to confuse it with pederasty.
