 Really, I sure am. I don't know what kind of mindless, drooling imbecile it takes to really give a damn about something as ridiculous as a hereditary monarchy that's somehow lasted into the 21st century, but I am tired of the media treating this as news. I'm sick of hearing about it, I'm sick of the media pushing it constantly and I'm sick of the legions of idiots who consider this to be of interest.

In america, the media is subjecting us to more coverage of this asinine inanity that it gives to the face nearly 200 people have been killed by freak violent storms in the american heartland, or the fact the supreme court just made corporations in america even more immune to responsibility and accountability by stripping the public of the right to file class action lawsuits against them.

(In fact I wonder if the media is deliberately burying the last bit of news that just happens to be of importance to the public under this drivel to keep most people from hearing about it until they get hurt by big biz, go to file a lawsuit and find out the supreme court has essentially robbed them of any effective way to seek redress against a corporation.)

Also, am I the only one who thinks that " 'is majesty" kind of looks like a weasel with a receding hairline?

Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

I dunno, I've watched my share of news, and really haven't really had an issue. This is no different that when Chuck & Di got married. There are plenty of news channels and sites, I'm not sure what else can be said. It'll be over in a couple days, BFD.

Likewise when I hear idiots around me blathering over this sort of drivel, I aim my remote at them and hit the mute button, but not a damned thing happens.


Yeah, that's annoying.  The nearest thing I can compare it to is when you're trying to read through a bad movies forum and some obnoxious poster keeps injecting their political agenda into every single post, no matter the topic.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Allhallowsday

"Injectin' no political agenda..." YEH! YEH~YEH!!! THEM LOUD POLITICAL OP-ONIONS - THEY STINK!!  They get slimy when they rot and they lie, lie like the rug,...lie like the night!!!  :teddyr: :thumbup:  :bouncegiggle:

Enjoy it, Doggett.  :cheers:

I had a huge crush on Princess Diana and I admit that I bawled my eyes out when she died. I wish William and Kate all the best, lots of love ~ and tons of kids ~ but the hype is getting a bit too much.

By epic party, he means loads of morons waving british flags and crying just because some rich stuffy people wanna put some rings on. Hopefully they'll all get sunburn...Thankfully, we ignore all this monarchy tripe up north.

I don't like people from England so no.  Oh wait.   :bluesad:  :wink: 

In all seriousness, couldn't they give that money to the people?  Do we really need a monarchy?

They cost less than 50 pence a year for every citizen.
I think it's a bargain.

And again - free food!
