MacFarlane is wrong. Hilariously wrong. Nowhere near a billion people watched the event. No single event in the history of television has been viewed by a billion people.

Yea, you get the same hyperbole over the SuperBowl.

Well, then, what's controversial about it? Other than the fact that you started a controversy by posting it here?

No, a Billion People Didn’t Watch the Oscars, You Dummies (Not Even Close) | Manolith


Exaggerate much?

Yeah well...The NFL has been doing that for years.

As to "shocked the world"...well...singers have gotten so bad that I guess it's a shock when a putative singer can actually sing. Lol

The Fact that she is a talented World Class Singer. Few, if any, knew GaGa was that top quality of a singer. That's a big reason so many are talking about it.

I believe it is Sacha Baron Cohen in drag.

I thought the Borat character was pretty amusing, but not so much this Lady Gaga one.

She has talent and is an astute capitalistic entrepreneur and job creator who packages her act and image to maximize revenues.
