I have noticed a tendency in America for large companies trying to foist world events on the populace, only for them to respond, "Meh." The World Cup being one which stands out to me. Of course.
The Olympics (bizarrely) another; I was shocked to read here, from Dwellars, about the poor coverage.
And see and hear voxpops in the general media suggesting Merkins barely even knew a Paralympics existed. Although of course you can always find maroons willing to talk to camera, no-one seemed to be able to name a Paralympian. Not even Oscar Pistorius. That may be different now of course.
