1. And the ones who showed up likely had empty brains.
Looks like some "whipper" is gonna get fired. He shoulda served free hotdogs and root beer or something.

2. Costume Day - everyone came dressed as an empty seat
That way God couldn't pick a favorite out of the (non)crowd.

4. Yeah those Republicans, they have their fingers on the pulse of
the nation alright. I saw Perry on TV for the first time this week, and he's Ricky Bobby in a tie.

11. They are not showing the rows above in the stadium- they are empty.
The cameras are only showing the concentrated areas-
completely blacking out the thousands of empty seats.
