are you shitting me?

annotated_em has had it up to here:

Dear god, someone tell me when it's safe to go back to Facebook and Twitter. Right now it's all royal wedding this and royal wedding that, and I got a revolution right here that says I am legally unobligated to give a fuck.

AMEN TO THAT!

Add Yahoo to the list of sites that's going gaga over the whole wedding thing. I wish them happiness and all that, but I AM AMERICAN. I DON'T CARE.

(Actually I would like an entire photo gallery devoted to the hats, sans any stupid fashion blather, but that's because I like hats.)

Jezebel's Hat Gallery is pretty good, and you can avoid reading any of the words pretty easily.

The hats are really the only interesting bit.

I AM BRITISH AND I DON'T CARE.

At least you aren't having to pay for the bloody thing.

[paxpinnae]

I'm so very sorry. I would recommend The Daily Show's coverage as some small consolation, but it's only available in the US. Irony!

[ironed_orchid]

I'm Australian which means the queen is my official head of state, and I STILL DON'T CARE.

[sporky_rat]

Mad Hattery is good too, once the database isn't overwhelmed.

_{Icon revolution!}

Snake revolution!

[paxpinnae]

Dance Dance Revolution!

HAHA YES AWESOME

[takhisis]

I'm actually managing to keep my sanity through deliberate redirection and coincidence. Two of my best friends are getting married tomorrow and I'm in the wedding party, so I keep seeing the headlines and mentally going "Why YES! Their wedding WILL be awesome, THANK you so much for noticing, CNN!"

Our founding fathers fought and died to protect our right not to know what a "fascinator" is.

[teapot_rabbit]

I like your reasoning!

I'm totally feeling the OP of the quote...

I'm even more frustrated that this wedding was more important to most (not all, but most) media outlets than the devastation the SE part of our country recently experienced or the devastation that the Ohio & Mississippi River Valleys are about to experience. *sigh*

That said, the wedding is done, so they can STFU now.

[tree_and_leaf]

Meh. I'm not particularly fussed about the wedding, though I am British, but God knows the media is quite often dominated by events which are nothing to do with me, such as the interminable ins and outsof the American political cycle. The world doesn't revolve around America all the time.

[susanreads]

OMG yes. I am British and I don't want to hear about it. It's over, shut up already! Here are the news headlines (5-minute radio version): we'll talk about the wedding for 2 minutes, then we'll tell you whether there's any actual news. And of course there is some actual news! But they'd rather talk about this nonsense!

I stole this and used it on my roommate. Apparently, I "do not have a romantic bone in my body." Ha!
