PATHETIC turnout for London Olympics Romney knows his business *The military was called in to put butts in the seats. Some of them look interested. Others are watching Netflix on their iPhones.*

Romney would have done this better *At the risk of sounding critical, this looks like possibly poor crowd management* As it turns out, filling seats to one of the top drawing events in the world is easier said then done. Initially fault was placed on corporate sponsors for not using their tickets. Women’s gymnastics: generally a huge draw Or at least that’s what the Organizers said. Butt it turns out they don’t really know what the problem is, which is probably at least half of the problem. The corporate sponsors were only allocated 8% of the tickets, and they insist that they’re using them all. So I guess that doesn’t explain all these empty seats. *Tennis, anyone?*
