How many of you outside of the UK actually want to see the royal wedding?

[Interscene]

I think the biggest complaint most of us brits have is that its just another stupid event.

If there was any actual patriotism behind it, there might actually be some vague interest - but its just another hyper-consumerist event, quite close in proximity to another big consumerist event, chocolate-rabbit-egg zombie-jesus day. None of the newspapers, TV stations or talking points about the wedding have done anything but push the angle that you should watch it exclusive on their channel or read about it in their paper (special wedding edition of-course).

The royal wedding is ONLY being advertised, mentioned or referenced in relation to a product or service by those with money to be made.

As a consumer event, its a fail, it lacks any virtues. Ugly horse-faced boy marries girl. Who in the UK *honestly* cares other than those trying to make a quick buck?

royal wedding

You sir, have just made my day.

 

[jbchillin]

there is no way id take my time to watch the royal wedding here in the us. i see no point in having a royal family their just a drain on the economy.

 

[Carlston]

No disrespect, but I don't even watch the US President state of the union addresses, I mean two people are marrying...


Whoopdeedo

I'm British and I honestly don't give a toss. It's just too people getting hitched, the fact that one of them happens to be royalty is irrelevant. But I'll enjoy the day off. Now can we all stop giving it attention and start ignoring it like we should do so the media stops covering it 24/7?

Nobody gives a crap about the stupid-ass royal family. I can't believe there are still countries that have monarchies. It's hard to even take them seriously. It's 2011, people.

 

[Baldry]

The only reason I would watch it is for the royal wedding drinking game!

Who. Fucking. Cares? I'm sorry, the wedding of one of the Princes isn't a big goddamn deal to the rest of the world. I don't even know why it's a big deal to the U.K. I know it's the Royal family, but still. It's not like you'd watch the wedding of the President of the U.S.

 

[Schmutz]

I for a change, would like to be there and l.o.l. at Kate for making the biggest mistake of her life.
right in the front line.

 

[thylasos]

I've never been more glad not to own a television.

 

[Alphavillain]

No, I couldn't give a monkey's about anyone's wedding, let alone people I don't know.

Marriage is kind of pointless anyway. If you don't believe me, watch this.

who's getting married?

 

[Amberella]

I'd like to watch it.

And I live in the US.

 

[Embz]

I live in Wales and dont know of anyone except my gran who will be watching / giving a crap about the wedding. To be honest its more of an annoyance being all over the media all the time.

 

[DustyDrB]

I could not care less.

 

[tigermilk]

Heck, how many of you right here in the UK are watching it?

I'm not (and I'm English). But what I will be doing... During the last football competition that England were doing well at in 2006 or 2008 the final game England were in the whole nation was fixed. Me? I cooked up a batch of cannabis muffins tucked in and walked around my usually busy home town (Brighton). The streets being dead, me tripping the light fnatastic made it feel like I was in '28 Days Later'/first episode of The Twilight Zone or something similar walking around deserted streets. Heres hoping I can repeat the experience!

Holy shit this sounds amazing

It is. Also the lack of people means you can smoke in public without any hassle. I would recommend an mp3 player (I tend to take one everywhere anyway) but the right music can add to the experience. For the Royal Wedding I will be taking the following:

GTA IV complete soundtrack (every track from every music station not the comercially released single CD).

Vice City complete soundtrack (all 7 CD's ripped).

Fallout 3 and New Vegas soundtracks.

I am going to have me one epic day.
