I really don't get what all of the hype is about. It isn't even like they have any real power or anything, they are just celebrities. I don't know, I may be kinda jaded to this whole sort of thing with all the crap that has happened this year that has actually mattered, such as Japan, revolution in the middle east, the massive storm system that just devastated my own country.
Actually, let me rephrase that. I get why the UK is all happy and stuff. Good for them. But why the hell is the US getting all swept up in this whole figurehead marriage hoopla.
By the way, I am not trying to say that our system is better or anything, or insult the British system in anyway, as it seems to work just fine. I just don't get why the news stations keep broadcasting about it like it is some sort of groundbreaking event.
Oh well, most of my countrymen might not know who the Prime Minister of the UK is, but at least they will know the prince and his wife's name... and have commemorative plates.
Edit: Yup, almost every channel here is going on and on about the wedding even though we just lost 300 people. Heck, I don't even see anything about sending aid to the south.
By the way, just curious, in the UK you guys have things come up asking for donations to disaster relief, like with the Japanese earthquake and the like right? I am just wondering if there is anything like that now asking to donate to the US to help with the tornado damage, or if there was anything during Katrina.
