8. In actuality, there are so many Royals, why do the English ones matter so much?
n/t

A drunken prince has been shacking up with some lazy female for close to 8 years. :) No real news here.

11. The English royals were a joke in America until Diana
She was a sight, and she lobbied on important issues like prohibiting landmines. Diana rescued their reputation.

13. Well, yes...
but William is not really like her. If people looked beyond the popular media, they would see that he's always out partying, going on vacations constantly, etc. What serviceperson has the luxury of doing that?

I just think people who have so many privileges given to them could afford to be a little less selfish. :(

4. Watching Good Morning America...
They led with the South Korean story then went into the royals and spent more time talking about the royals. Now, they're likely going to spend most of the 7:30 half-hour on this Charlie Sheen/porn star bullshit.

I'm going to have to get going anyway, so pretty soon this will be off my set.

10. At least they lead with it.
The other two networks led with the wedding announcement. The international incident took a back seat to that. Disgusting.

5. So far this morning on GMA it's been...
Dancing with the Stars, Charlie Sheen vs. some porn star, and The Royal Engagement. This is why we have stupid citizenry.
