Oh, ha ha.

I'm an American, and my local newspaper had the Royal Baby, with a color picture of the announcement, taking up most of its front page the morning after the birth. On a day (in a week, in a month) filled with pretty important actual news, local and national and international. I gather this was pretty typical, too. The Gandolfini death was covered as an important hard-news item everywhere. I think Monteith was too (though to be far, whatever happened with Kardassian or whatever her name is wasn't treated like it was of earthshattering import anywhere I saw).

If it were just the supermarket tabloids, sure. But this other stuff is totally in our faces, everywhere we go. Venturing into spaces where it's a big deal means opening our front doors, or looking at any news, politics, or analysis website.

It's in your face for one day at most, and then newspapers go onto other things and push the royal baby onto other pages. But even if it was on the front page for hell, a few days, that's still nowhere near "annoying" enough to warrant bragging about how much you don't care. If you don't care, just flip the damn page and look at the other news. It's really not that hard.
