Royal Wedding

Am I the only one tired of hearing about the royal wedding? It seems like every time I turn on the TV they are talking about it. What is your opinion on this?

I bet the average Brit is less interested in it, than is widely known............
Something else for our media to go overboard on.

Not to preach, but I find it revolting that so much money is being spent on the wedding, media coverage, flowers, publicity, etc. and there are so many people losing their jobs, homes, and cars. Food banks are swamped with clients and not enough food, older citizens going without prescriptions due to the high costs, and veterans who are homeless and living on the street. And, let's not forget the $4 gallon gas and skyrocketing groceries. I'm boycotting the wedding. Would not go across the street to spit on them.

Yes I know, they're going overboard. It's taking away coverage of Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan

i actually think that this is the just media. I don't think that the event itself will be any different than previous ones.

I turned on the local news this morning and it took them almost a half hour until they mentioned the wedding. I guess for once they had their priorities straight and the tornado warning was more important.

HJ, maybe Charlie and Lindsay could go to the wedding as a couple. That would probably cause a media frenzy.

I wish them many happy years together, but I'm not going to go out of my way to tune in--like our forefathers in the U.S., I'm not into monarchies.

Or he could compete with Adam Sandler to be the wedding singer.

Well, as luck would have it, I got off work early last night and got home just before midnight. As I slept ever so peacefully, I was awakened by the sound of blaring organ music at around 6AM. Having a sudden jolt of organ music hit me whilst sound asleep, I felt sure I must have nodded off during a sermon at church. No such luck. I awoke to my wife blasting the Royal Pain in the Rump on NBC in our bedroom. I immediately tried to find my happy place and end the agony, to no avail.

I think I'll go do something more enjoyable now like carving pentagrams into my chest with a dull knife.
