fighter 4 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Wasnt one of the facts from "supersize me" that the three most recoginsed western figures were Elvis, Jesus Christ and Ronald mcdonald.To the people who are saying sports stars I think the biggest one is david beckham. Most of europe follows soccer much closer then they do basketball. Mixed with the fact he married a spice girl. Tiger woods, Roger federer are up there. I think bill gates and oprah would be near the top of the list. Jay leno and most A list movie stars. I think leaders portrayed as villains are wider known then other leaders. Saddam Hussein, osama bin laden, hitler, Putin. Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think Mike Tyson would be recognized by the vast majority of people in every country in the world, so I'll throw his name into the mix. Link to post Share on other sites
SlapStick 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Even people in little villages in 3rd world countries know who Michael Jordan is.I wouldn't recognise him.Maybe I would recognise Koby or shaq but without their uniforms probably not Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It used to be, according to actual surveys and data and stuff, not just guesses, Muhammed Ali, but that was 20 years ago. But based on that I'm thinking it's not a politician, but probably an entertainer or sports figure. Our culture spreads faster than our politics. Link to post Share on other sites
SlapStick 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You're in the vast minority.ok so a large part of europe and Ireland is a vast minority. Anyway a vast minority that is part of the western world means he isn't the most recognisable man.Its like me expecting you to recognise Johnny Wilkinson. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 No way Michael Jordan would be the most recognized person in the WORLD... If any sports entertainer is most known, it would definitely be Tiger Woods worldwide. He's made an impact across the planet like no other (Also why he's by far the wealthiest athlete in the world).However, the face of America is known EVERWHERE. I'd have to say George Bush is probably the most recognized person on the planet (who is still alive).If it's not George Bush, I'd have to think it's a famous Asian although I couldn't tell you who. Their population make up the majority of the planet so I'd have to think it'd come from there. Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You're in the vast minority.I don't think he is. The specific topic here is how 'recognizable' they are, globally. I wouldn't recognize him if he walked past me either.He is more 'well known' than he is recognizable. Link to post Share on other sites
