The Olympics and the Numbers Games

Yahoo News is reporting that tickets are being given away to bolster the horrible attendance so far at the Olympics. Apparently, Greece isn't the first nation to have the problem. But it seems to be the first to get this kind of coverage. I've only watched a little here and there, but the seats have definitely been open. It's almost to the point of parody right now. The organizers are saying that it's several factors: vacations, religious obligations, nobody cares...Oh wait, they didn't say that last one. I suppose they're leaving us to come to that conclusion inductively.
