So, are you anti-TV?
Kardashans (sp?) hate you! They might even make a show out of it.. NSR and Kim- Why he hates her?
SoCal- half my Facebook is filled with updates. Couldn't miss the news even if I wanted to
I care about Socal not Royalty :'(
EvilHomer, are you saying if Buckingham Palace called you today and said you could either have tea with the Queen (whom you don't care about) or with SoCal, you would pick me??!
'Cause I would pick...
The Queen. If not the Queen, then Iho. If not Iho, then you. You are welcome!! (I would have bumped you up a notch, but it's on my Bucket List to meet Iho one time before I die. :'( )

No, but I fundamentally don't understand the time and emotional energy people expend in being 'fans' of any celebrity. Never understood what makes people hang on everything someone does.

No, I'm okay with TV. I even have shows I like to watch.
But they're just shows. I don't really care for the actors one way or another. For reality TV, my investment goes no further than what's going on in the show and whether or not someone is 'an idiot' or wondering if they'll accidentally kill someone.
My emotional investment is literally for that 40 minute episode.
We like "Game of Thrones". We're still waiting to finish the season off, we have five or so episodes left on the DVR. Walking dead has probably 90% of the season left.
"Project Runway" is starting up, my wife really likes it. We watch, but no real cares one way or another over who wins, who loses, nor do anything any of them say have any weight on our view of a situation.
I'm talking about the kind of emotional investment Lady Gaga's little monsters have. I don't get it. Does half of our population literally strive to be nothing more than one of Gru's minions?

Wow, such negativity.
The birth of any baby, in and of itself, is worthy of joy. But this isn't any celebrity nor any baby. The world has been waiting for years to see the first grandchild of the tragically late Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana, loved by man, was known as "The People's Princess". Diana was unable to become Queen Consort. She had a messy divorce and her life was cut short. Now this baby, her grandson, is making history. It is the first time in about 120 years that a reigning monarch has lived to see the birth of his or her great-grandchild who is also heir to the throne. That fact that it's Diana's grandson makes it all that much more special for those who loved her.

A baby is wonderful and I'm glad they've had a healthy child.
Other than that, they're just people.
Royalty isn't anything.
