A Royal Farce

The weeks leading up to this event made it  seem as though this event was going to be life changing. Documentaries and movies were made in their honour displaying their true love for eachother. This event was going to ground-breaking, so much so that it replaced the morning news on my favourite news station. Raging wars, deadly protests and local monstrosities were not nearly as important as two complete strangers getting married. Millions of people across the world stopped their lives just to watch the royal wedding—the wedding of the century. Thousands upon thousands of people filled the streets to catch a mere glimpse of Will or Kate as they entered the church. Children thrown up on their parents shoulders—as if they'll ever remember. It all seems so uncalled for. Millions of dollars spent on one day is simply beyond ridiculous. There are people starving; people without homes, but they feel it is necessary to spend such an outrageous amount of money on their "special day". I'm sorry but I think that is completely disgusting. Some have argued that it allows people to get away from all the bad that's going on around us, that we need some good news for once; I'm sorry, but a wedding doesn't make it all go away.
