And that's what it is - a spectacle. I'm no fan of the Royal family, but I'll be tuning in for a bit out of curiosity.

It is... it's grand, it's a feel good moment. A beautiful young woman marrying a charming (though balding) young man! A change from all the carnage and hate one sees on tv at the moment.

But coverage to the run up of the day is just toooooooooooooooo much!

I'll be watching snippets too. Both my daughter and I want to see the dress (and what was done in the cathedral with the trees!). We have our scones, clotted cream and jam ready to be served!

Nobody should be watching this! Who cares about a duo of snobbish royals who still believe that God ordained them superior than everyone else. It must be so tough being rich, living off the wealth given freely by a people they do nothing for you. At least my tax dollars go for something; even if it's shady and questionable. These people just get money. Then, people pimp them out on toilet paper and Pez dispensers, hoping the masses believe they truly are better than everyone else. It must be so tough being a royal. I throw up in my mouth everytime I have to hear about them. People are losing job, homes and retirment. We are pouring out cash for wars and conflicts in the middle east; and yet we worry about birth certrifcates, Planned Parenthood and what kind of food wil be at the Royal Wedding Dinner. Nonsense! All of this is like paying a stripper for a lap dance you don't receive, and buying a t-shirt about your lap dance from a guy who took your money and discovering you stil got Chlamydia from the dance anyway.

The Royal family brings in a lot more money through tourisim then what we the tax payer give them.

I'm not into the Royals at all but I guess some people are and there is a big interest in them from overseas as well for some reason.

As for snobbish? I dunno. I don't pay attention really but I never have seen much from William to suggest any snobbery.

Not only does the royal family bring in tourism dollars but the queen basicallly owns a ton of income generating land that she signs over to the UK government (and they get the benefits), in exchange for that they give her and her family regular payments to cover upkeep and staffing of the palaces and living expenses. What they get from the government is only like 20% of what they make off those lands.

Plus I have seen a couple of documentaries about the queen and being a monarch seems like hard work. I mean she is basically working all the time on behalf of the British people (and she wasn't given a choice). I look at it this way. The US president gets to make the choice to lead the country for 8 years and in exchange for that he gets to live in a mansion and is set up for life. The queen has to give up all her life to the country from birth and she doesn't get a choice so of course she should be set up nicely as well.

I say we turn it into a good ole fashioned English rebellion including beheadings.

I have almost zero interest. They shit and stink just like the rest of us. I have never understood the fascination with them.

I couldn't give a f**K.
I am watching sport on TV instead.
Who cares about these rich snobs.

I for one wish more of my hard-earned taxpaying money is spent on this. Thank god this country isn't going down the pan. Oh.

I'm really pissed off Prince Charles has forced the BBC to ban all countries using their feeds from doing anything dramatic or comedic with it.

Namely, the Chaser team from Oz. For fucks sake, Kathy Griffin still gets to do her part in the States.

Dont really care one way or another about the Royal wedding. Aint interested in the pomp and circumstance. And yeah Prince William has more money than he could ever spend. And I guarantee you he would give it all away to have his mom back. Princess Di was crucified by the media, figuratively and literally. And all I can say about their marriage is what I would say to anyone. Good luck and God bless.

I haven't been watching any of it but I love the idea that unlike Charles and Diana's wedding, this is a royal marriage that is based on love rather than social position and other external criteria.

This is a celebration. Albeit an overdone and media-spectacular celebration, but a celebration nonetheless.

I haven't watched much about it, but I would rather turn on the news and find something pleasing for once. So I'm OK with it.

"... perhaps you, too, should WATCH the Drac's party, asking yourself, "What's coming next as far as Red Dress Programs go?" That is, exactly what is the hidden agenda of these creatures masquerading as the British Royal Family?

What to look for, you ask? Little things. Don't be fooled or blinded by stuff like designer ensembles or heavily embroidered flats. Duchesse satin with seed-pearl looks good on a child's blood and crumpet type lizard as well. But in looking for evidence of reptoid activity, don't expect to see almond-shaped eyes, vertical pupils and green leathery skin. Instead, look for traces of partially scaled faces while morphing back during vibrational wavelength disruptions. Look THROUGH these holographic veils with their livers and greens and monoatomic gold. See these crockery-collecting Dracs with their biscuits, Cadbury, and clotted cream for what they truly are: hostile lizardfolk disguised as humans. If you happen to be in the area and spot an ice cream van, try ordering a "99" and watch what happens. Especially look for those wearing blue lipstick in Westminster Abbey! And if you've a telescope, look for signs of lunar bases. They'll certainly be watching too, knowing damn well that the date of the royal wedding (April 29th) also happens to be David Icke's birthday! And why do you suppose that the occasion should enable the highly influential (with their STICKY PUDDING) to be so close to the Buckingham Palace bunkers!

After all, who would deliberately choose the date of April 29th for the royal wedding - the same date (APRIL 29th) that ADOLF HITLER married his long-time mistress EVA BRAUN in a Berlin bunker - only to "commit suicide" shortly after, thus bringing a new meaning to the term, "The honeymoon is over." (Note: Keep in mind that all the pain and suffering of Lizard-Hitler's WWII was used to energize and 'refuel', if you will, the reptoid Dracs. Evidently, simply tossing a hamster into a KitchenAid KSB560 isn't nearly enough 'misery-energy' for these glorified skinks who are bent on world domination.) If all of this isn't further evidence of Nazi-Reptilian collaboration, then how does one explain another important occurrence on April 29 (1992)? The British have their Queen, but here in America, we have our KING. And here, of course, I'm referring to RODNEY KING and the L.A. riots, an important TEST as part of the Reptilian/Babylon Brotherhood conspiracy."
