You make me laugh, yesterday you were saying the numbers aren't proof yet if they back up your argument then they become valid
Hah. Those numbers are probably a stretch as is, since they're likely based on small sample sizes and assume multiple viewers per TV. The joke was that this event never had a chance at that many viewers realistically, and even if it did, it would be impossible to measure.
Why do I even bother? These kinds of articles would of been the proof used against my stance had they reported many more people, which is to say it's funny that they do not. I guess if the British officials stroke over their
estimated 2 billion number thousands of times everyone will believe that 2 + 2 = 5.
TLDR: 2 Billion was a joke estimate, deal with it.
With that said, the amount of viewers is still impressive.
