When people are spazzing about the birth of the child of people who don't know they exist, I can't help rolling my eyes. It's the same with freaking about who celebrities are dating, or what kind of car they drive, or what house they live in. It doesn't freaking matter! It's just normal people doing people stuff and everyone freaking out about it is kinda ridiculous.

Am I happy they're happy together and just had a baby? Yes, I am. In the same way that I'm happy for the couple at the grocery store pushing the stroller with their new baby. In an 'aw, that's cute. Now where the hell is the pasta sauce?' kind of way. But being so obsessed with it that it's all I talk about for days on end? It's creepy. Very creepy.

Yes, I feel similar. And I think a lot of the I DON'T CARE people are backlashing over the cultural importance of celebrities and royalties in our lives, the tedious intrusiveness of it, how it replaces ACTUAL IMPORTANT NEWS, distracting us from the real issues. ...*ahem* I think I agree with that...

[(Anonymous)]

As do I. A little too strongly.

This. At first I was at the level of just not caring and I'd roll my eyes or change the channel, but then after a week with no end in sight it just really started to piss me off that it was dominating what were supposed to be serious newscasts. If I lived in Britain, it might make sense. But here in the US we cut our ties to the royals about 250 years ago and tons of people here now have connections to countries other than Britain. So this sudden obsessive focus on British royalty seems really weird and antiquated; like they're trying to force us to find this interesting somehow, which just increased the irritation level with it, at least for me.

TBH even British people find it weird that the US is so interested. The reporters we had were going around talking to US tourists asking them why they cared so much that they wanted to be here as the baby was born. In the UK, I understand the hype because you know, future monarch and all, but worldwide the amount of coverage seems crazy. Seeing reporters camped outside a hospital window for 4 weeks was a bit silly.

I'm sorry. if you want ACTUAL IMPORTANT NEWS you aren't fucking clicking on the fucking link about the fucking royal family. You can click the next link down and read about NSA or Syria or whatever floats your particular boat.

If the problem is TV news -- stop watching TV news, which sucks unless there's a major event actually going on right that second. Problem fucking solved.
