I have absolutely no interest in the royal wedding or anything to do with the royal family in England.  I do have an interest in this weekend, summer, and Michigan. Go Blue!

On one hand, like most of us, I couldn't really be arsed to give a shit about the royal wedding.  It's just whatever.  We obsess the over cryptic Twitter natterings of four-star offensive tackles and royal fanboys/girls obsess over Kate and Pippa's matching sundresses.  I also kind of hate how it reinforces a pretty antiquated mindset that strictly supervises how women are supposed to "look" - it's got to suck being judged by everyone over every single facet of your appearance.

However, just thinking about it now, even though I'm a big pile of 'meh' about the royal wedding and the very notion of the monarchy itself, I get why people are even now still captivated by the royals.  A single glance at the supermarket counter tabloids is ample evidence to just how notably human the royal family is at heart.  They have family drama and daily struggles like the rest of us, but they're just doing it within the confines of Buckingham Palace.  And there's something about that which is kind of aspirational to some people.  It's almost like how the Greek gods were objectively shitty people, but those same human flaws made them more resonant to the ancient Greeks than an infallible and distant pantheon of deities might've been.

I have a really bad feeling about this one fellas.

I give it 18 months. Tops. 

Then divorce for the cash and prizes and book deal.

Run away kid.  Seriously.

Haven’t read through the thread, but as far as royal weddings, I have no idea why anyone would give a shit. MAYBE when it’s the next in line to the throne...but this is not that. On a lighter note if you haven’t seen the episode of South Park with the canadien royal wedding, I recommend you do. It’s great.
