I wonder: if all these celebrities came together to do a charity-entertainment for, say, raising public awareness of 3rd world travail, don't we all know that they could fill a stadium with folks who paid serious bucks for the tickets? Lots of baby boomers out there.
Instead, all we get is 6,000 seats filled? To me, knowing the history of the TMO, it is a sore thumb flagging us to note that they were so lacking in confidence that they could get even 6,000 warm bodies to fill the space that they couldn't imagine renting a larger venue. If they thought they could get more response, we all know they would have rented the Orange Bowl (most satvic fruit) and glorified to the world that they had so many followers. And don't give me the argument that the TV showings of this event will be reaching a larger audience....cuz, if it were held in the Orange Bowl, there'd be an even larger audience tuning into it on TV. Nope, these are the latter day saints of the TMO gathering for one last hit of personal satisfaction that they done the world such a solid. And the fun part is: they're messing with a money milking machine that's a tar baby they know not of -- these rich folks think the TMO is getting the word out to the world by riding their celebrity coattails, but the truth is that the TMO is getting the word INTO the minds of these easy marks, and soon enough they'll be fully prepped to be shamed into a large donation for some TM cause (Girish is hungry.)
