Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
Tiger's face is pretty recognizable, but not many Chinese or Indians would recognize him although I'm sure some would. Thats a large population bas to be not very well known in.
Jordan is so recognizable. He is easily the most recognizable on this list to Africans. He is also pretty well recognized in Asia, especially China and there are a billion+ people there. People in Mexico and the rest of the Latin world have a pretty good idea of what he looks like compared to there knowledge of other figures. I honestly couldn't pick McCartney out of a lineup although I have some sort of idea what he looks like. That doesn't bode well for the countries where most people have never even heard his name. Beckham is known by almost all of the European countries as well as a decent portion of Latin America and Africa I'm sure. However, I doubt many Asians would recognize him at all and even where soccer is popular not everyone could pick him from a lineup. George Bush isn't even recognized by many Americans so I doubt he is recognized by the majority of Chinese people or Indians. I just asked two Catholic friends if they could pick out Pope Benedict from other popes and one said he thought he could and the other said maybe, but he doubts it. I can't see many non-catholics being able to do it if thats the case with pretty religious catholics. My best guess from this info is: Jordan Tiger Beckham Bush Pope McCartney

Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
[ QUOTE ]
Why are you putting Yao up there? Yeah there's a billion people in China, but I doubt the 600 million peasant farmers who have never looked at a tv or newspaper know who he is. And outside of the US basketball isn't even all that popular. [/ QUOTE ] and how do those 600 million people who have never seen a picture of anyone ever know who any of these people are? Everyone in China knows Yao and apparently he's big in India too. Schumacher is not well known outside Europe and there just aren't many people there. Luckyjimm, how do you not know any of these people? I assumed most people with access to the internet and being in 1st world countries would know the vast majority or all of them.
