The videos are hilarious, especially the fox news coverage with it in the background.

I thought at first they were reporting before the event, but they were there as it was happening.

Never saw such an uninviting fair. The ferris wheel looks like it's waiting to be picked up and get the hell outta there.

Did you see the fox news compilation? That one is the crazy one. It's a very empty venue.

My favorite is the reporter saying "Crowd sizes were smaller in the morning, it has picked up quite a bit" while maybe 20 people total are visible in the huge area behind him.

Itty bitty little crowds

I fucking lost it when she said that. 🤣 🤣

Didn’t know that the freedom 250 meant that only 250 people would show up.

I see bigger crowds at my local farmers market.

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

bruh. I've seen bigger crowds at a gangbang.

i've seen bigger crowds at a colonoscopy

while I get your metaphor, mine has the added benefit of actually being somewhat factual. Or did you not hear about that OF star Bonnie Blue?

On a "people per square foot" the last colonoscopy I attended had 3 people in a fairly small room.

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Oh, well, By that metric I see your point. I was talking gross attendance.
