As we all know, the royal wedding was today (at around 3:00 AM). It's an admittedly rare occasion that we get to see vulgarity on that scale. The most sickening part was that, even in the midst of all this controversy (80% of Brits believe the wedding was a waste of time and money), two billion people reportedly tuned in to watch it. Disgusting.
The Daily Show did a report on the royal wedding with their senior British correspondent, John Oliver. During his time in London, he was able to interview an old lady with a strange hoarding complex and a crazy person who thinks people (oh, I mean 'commoners') should be honored just to clean up after the royal wedding. It's times like these when you wonder how humanity gets its pants on in the morning. The Daily Show segment can be accessed HERE.
I have to say, as an American, I think this whole royalty thing is a huge waste of time. All it truly is is a bunch of aloof, out-of-touch people in a centuries-old family trying to cling to the last scraps of relevance. It's sad, if you think about it. But what's sadder is that some people actually agree with them, and think the royals should continue being 'special' people. Sad.
But fortunately, there are some people who are standing up to this. Some brave Brits are going against traditions that were pointless to begin with. These people are...
THE REFORMERS.
Yes, The Reformers, bravely fighting against the evil forces of the... Royalcepticons. I dunno.
Fortunately, I was able to profit from the royal wedding in my usual way--- selling useless Vertco products (that may or may not be tainted with lead) to the unsuspecting populace. So far, I've grossed $60,000.
I love America.
Bye!
