So I'm flipping channels and I come across a report that Prince Charles is going to marry Camilla Parker Bowles. This report came complete with its own poll, wherein 44% of viewers who responded said he should marry her, 52% said he should not, and 4% said they don't know. And it left me with one obvious question - who fucking cares? Seriously, if you're not the happy couple or a member of their family, what possible justification could you have for having an opinion about it at all? And what kind of person actually calls up a TV station to express an opinion about whether two people they don't know, who likely aren't even from the same freaking country they are, should get married? For that matter, what the hell are the 4% undecideds thinking? Why on earth would someone take the time to call up a tv station to boldly an express an opinion they don't even have? Human beings are just weird creatures.

On a related note, why are Americans so obsessed with our monarchy? It's barely excusable that about half of Britain finds what William eats for breakfast fascinating, but America fought a war to get shot of the inbred fuckers.
If any American's are obsessed with the monarchy it probably stems from our Disney movies. I for one have had no interest since I reached puberty.
I have never uttered the words "God save the queen." LOL
It is possible, I suppose, that a not insignificant numer of the "don't knows" were using that option as the best one to express "we don't give a damn one way or the other."
Interestingly, about a third of Britons don't care, according to one poll I heard about on the radio. So the Brits are less interested in the monarchy's private lives than Americans even though they're more (though still not very) likely to be affected by what happens.
All I can say is that I hope this one ends better than the last because I don't want to see another messy royal divorce.
And it left me with one obvious question - who fucking cares?
There are those Monarchists who care a great deal. Why they care is another matter. I can't figure it out. Obviously they're concerned that someone might sully the name of the British royal family by doing something unseemly.
As if that could ever happen.
Why on earth would someone take the time to call up a tv station to boldly an express an opinion they don't even have?
These have gotta be the same folk who call up the radio station when they haven't a clue to the answer of the day's trivia question.
"What's your answer?"
"I don't know."
"Thanks for calling."
