5.5 Billion people? Yeah, I've heard numbers in the billions bandied around quite a bit. Personally, if it actually breaks 1.5 billion I'll be impressed. You think at the least, half of China will be watching this? (Bear in mind that the ENTIRE rest of the planet will have to watch in that case.) What about Africa itself, as well as much the Middle East? I'm fairly sure most of them don't have radios or TVs, but y'know, let's not ruin a good circus here.

I continue to be unimpressed with Live 8. As far as I'm concerned, it's just an excuse for most people to not feel guilty because they've 'done their part'.
