For those not interested in the wedding. Michael Rapaport sums up your feelings.

Hilarious!

He should have his face on the welcome sign to Boston. He's the quintessential Irish Bostonian....

1. Not interested, yet goes to the trouble to film a youtube video.

I can't roll my eyes enough at these "disgruntled", yet obsessed.

[Glamrock]

3. Well,

when that's all the world is talking about....

4. Maybe, but by that measure, how have any of us survived the constant Kardashian onslaught

or any of the other constant celebrity drones? At least there is something interesting from a cultural transcendence perspective about the royal coupling and something remarkably reassuring about their work for causes that the wealthy in this country eschew. Princess Di did some good raising these two young men, whether one wants the monarchy gone or not. How many of us will leave such a mark?

6. No doubt!

And don't get me started on the Kardashians! But I wouldn't call myself obsessed. If it's shoved down your throat, there's bound to be a backlash. More power to you if you wanted to watch it, like my wife. And, on the other hand, more power to you if you think "hey, this is America! We revolted against that shit." To each their own. I posted this for those that felt the latter.

8. I'm not calling you obsessed, but the youtube star, so upset that they took the time to make a video

It just seems the height of hypocrisy to be all upset about a British event that occurred Saturday morning, when we get harangued by these American celebrity poseurs who do NOTHING to help our society in ANY way, monopolizing the internet, social media, tv, and airwaves 24/7.

Damn. there is no comparison. So, is it because it is British that people are so obsessed with this yet take the ugly monopolization and culture draining affects our our own celebrity world in stride?

Talk about misplaced priorities and concerns.

9. I think it's just because our society was obsessed with it.

I mean, how many posts on DU alone were dedicated to it? Not that it's a problem or wrong or whatever. Shit, I was posti g nothing but British music last nite because of the wedding. Like I said, I think it comes down to more, like, sensory overload. Ya know?

[hlthe2b]

10. How many posts on DU alone re: "it" were posted to express concern about how many posts on DU?

For heaven's sakes it is OVER and yet posts still are coming at us left and right to express concern about it?

Yeah, DU, in general does obsess over the issue de jeur, but just let it go...

[Faux pas]

2. A effing men!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. I get a kick out of people who feel compelled to comment

at great lengths about things they aren't interested in.

[Glamrock]

7. Like I said above.

When that's all you hear about for days, there's bound to be backlash. It's not as if his rant came out of a vacuum....

11. "...that's all you hear about for days"

Think about what you just said. Most of what I hear for days, weeks, months is sheer hell. A few hours of joyous celebration doesn’t compare. It seems some don't get enough hell so they wish to undermine other people who have found some relief, something less deadly and painful for a few fleeting moments. I wonder what that guy finds in life that brings him joy outside of trying to relieve people of theirs? Underneath he's just envious.

[Glamrock]

12. Maybe.

But you can't force others to see the same thing you do. Some people are revolted by the concept of royalty. If you find joy in it great. Just as you don't appreciate his point of view, perhaps he doesn't appreciate yours. Right?

[defacto7]

15. I find joy in the celebration..

That it's royalty is no different to me than if it were some other celebrity. I wouldn't dream of forcing a celebration on anyone that doesn't want it but we do live in an open society where we just have to allow a few hours of interest to public demand when we don't find the same interest or even if we're revolted. Goes both ways, right? My opinion is he's envious of the popularity or he wouldn't be so concerned.
I don’t deny his right to free speech or his rant. I just think tolerance is more productive.

13. I still find it preferable to non-stop media attention on Trump.

It was a much welcomed respite from having the orange shit-gibbon on the tube 24/7.

14. Rapaport's more fun on Colin Coward's sports show.

Hard to take his British Royal Family rants very seriously. Change the fucking channel, dude.
