Royal Wedding

I know of what this may mean for the monarchy, I like a good show (which it was), but really they may as well have taken a leaf out of the book of EXTREME advertising. So much build up, so much coverage, so many spin-off documentaries containing so much pointless over-analysis and so many "royal wedding specials" of totally unrelated programs, so many special commemorative offers in virtually every store which were all decked out in union jacks somehow, so much everything. This over-saturation cheapened the event and led to it being seen as some unbelievably momentous earth-shaking occasion with explosions and shi't that'd affect the entire world when in actuality due to the almost ornamental nature of the monarchy these days this really was just a very expensive wedding that was barely more eventful than your regular wedding and affected very few people.

Didn't stop broadcasters citing figures of 2 billion viewers mind. >_>
