Weeeeelll, in terms of your last statement it was really difficult with the royal birth. In the UK at least it was on every channel and in every newspaper for about a week. Even if you actively tried to avoid it, it was in your face and if you said you were trying to avoid it you can guarantee someone at some point in the day would ask you about it.

My employer even got requests from one or two members of the public to put on the company website that we should "congratulate" the royal couple. I had a staff consultation meeting a couple of days after the birth that the chief exec attended and she asked for a show of hands if she should put such an announcement on the website. The response was overwhelmingly in the negative and a few people spoke up to say "it's already all over the news, you can't miss it, so I don't see the point as it happened two days ago anyway" Of course, I'm sure Wills and Kate were devastated...

So if you're indifferent just be like "*shrug* I don't really care about this news" and people will stop bugging you about it. How is that difficult? Sure it can be annoying to see it on every news channel but then, that's the same with lots of other things like sports events or celebrity scandals. You can always flip the channel. There's really never a need to start bragging about how much you don't care about something as if it makes you superior.
