Does anyone care about this Royal Wedding thing?

Im British and dont give a fuck, but Im  surprised about how much the media in other countries is going on about it.

Not really.

" As a Canadian I'm pissed with all the media attention this is getting. Sure we're a former colony, but one would think we'd have forged some kind of national identity by now. But no, we're still stuck halfway between Britain and the States, culturally. There's not much for us to be proud of anyway, Canada's a pretty boring country. But all this royal wedding business, and us rolling out the red carpet when the queen visits just serves to remind me how little culture this country has of it's own.  "

I will care if there are any explosions that wipe out the majority of the "royal" family.

i really don't see the difference between this wedding and hollywood weddings, same shallow pricks... just now with a crown. Although admittedly i was FAR more interested in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts coming together,heres the math:

No I don't.

No! i'm Danish we have our royal family and i care just as little for them as i do for British royal people. I just want it to be over with so they can actually air something else than wedding shit.

I realize that a royal wedding is clearly not the thing that appeals to young males but geez. I don't care too much about this personally, but I know that my mother for example has taken the day off tomorrow to watch the wedding on TV. A large portion of middle aged and elderly women love this stuff because of the tradition and glamour involved, and is it really that weird that the wedding of the heir to the throne of the most important monarchy in the world is well publicised? And why are they "shallow prics" that deserve to be wiped out by explosions? Because they seem like nice people who are in love and mostly do good deeds. Yes they do need to be puniched for all those things.

Pretty much every Brit is complaining about the wedding, but we'll all end up watching it anyway. We always do. It's a British thing.

nope the royal family are leeches. many people in the UK are sick of them.
the media is making this out to be a much bigger deal than it is

" and is it really that weird that the wedding of the heir to the throne of the most important monarchy in the world is well publicised? . "

My mom does

No one at all, anywhere, cares; that's why the Canadian coverage begins at 3am EST precisely.

Enough to say that I don't.

I DON'T GIVE

A FLYING

FUCK

Class envy up in this bitch.

Yes because it's 2011, and monarchies were a joke... 50 years ago. 

Also most important monarchy? To who, exactly? They have no power, the king of Saudia Arabia is much more important given he actually controls the country.

As an American, I could  care less.  It's just a flamboyant display of excess, sacrificing any real meaning of a wedding for this "royal" couple.

The UK Monarchy does maintain some genuine constitutional power, it's wrong to say they have no power at all. It is at their approval that Parliament is opened and dissolved, and they can do that at any time they like for example. It is however very very very unlikely the reigning monarch would dissolve Parliament without damn good reason, and if they did they would likely find that power taken from them as soon as possible, but none the less the power remains and indeed is used constantly, just in a ceremonial role at the behest of a Prime Minister.

And they have a few others that again generally are used ceremonially but in theory can be used at their discretion for whatever benefit. There is just a tacit understanding that they don't.

There is also the power that comes with their status, wealth and contacts - they are able to pressure some policy (usually not terribly important stuff) through the House of Lords, though generally there is little heard about that as nobody cares.

And of course they are used a foreign relations puppet.

I know I sure don't.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I never cared and never understood why anyone else should. To be honest, the sheer volume of media coverage has straight up made me angry. I cannot wait for it to be over.

I bought eight of those knock-off Royal Wedding rings and I wear one on each finger. Ballin'.

It causes my last name is mentioned all the time. So I'm cool with that.

Let's see...

• This wedding doesn't seem to affect me in any direct and significant way.
• The wedding starts at 6am where I live.
• I still have to go to school.

If you go to the BBC News homepage (on a small screened netbook like mine) all you see is wedding news. Then you scroll down and read about 280 people dying in tornadoes and a suicide bombing. The Media really, really sucks sometimes.

I make it my business to exactly why our Government feels it has reason enough to deprive me of a valuable days education... Naw, but I do get my fourth long weekend in a row because of the national holiday.

I don't care at all about the wedding and am annoyed by all the news coverage.  I only watch the news for about half an hour every morning from 7am to 7:30am before I head to college and in that time they talk about nothing but the royal wedding even the weather segment talks mostly about the predictions for the Friday's weather.

There's a wedding?

" Jesus, mad props to whoever bumped up this old cunt of a thread "

No. And it's not that they aren't nice people, or that there is no significance to a relationship of a nation's leaders, but it soooo minimizes the importance of "the little people" in the scheme of things. Also, people in the USA aren't interested cuz it's just not about ~here~.

I couldn't care less.

"  I ain't British so I dont give a shit but the government there seems to be trying to use it as a sort of day of national pride or some shit which seems silly.  I would hate to live in a country with any kind of government funded royal family, I mean paying someone from the taxpayers money for no other reason than they were born into a certain family seems stupid. "

I don't. The only reason why so many American tv networks (namely TLC) are covering it is to get a serious viewer boost, the target audience being single mothers.

not really, I don't care about imbred illuminati weddings.

I did, 'cause I'm bored as hell.

Fuck royalty.

Fuck. No.

i cant believe billions of people still gave a shit about monarchy... 

I never did, never will and never have cared.

Couldn't give less of a fuck about the actual wedding, but apparently this is costing tax payers a lot of money, which is worrisome.

2 billion people watched it. That's logically more than people who are aware and don't care.

" In case youve been living under a pretty goddamn thick rock, Prince William and his, admittedly fucking hot, girlfriend are getting married.  But, I  have to ask, am i alone or does anyone else not give a flying fuck about this wedding? (InB4Herpderpsaysguywhomadetopic)  It sounds like its being donee to draw attention away from the retirement age being wage and other issues facing britain to this multi-million dollar dick waving contest.  Or is it because im just crazy?
