A Royal has given birth

07-05-2019 10:51AM #1

The Prince's wife has been delivered of a son, and the Brit media has lost its sh!t.

Watching the UK media, a Martian would be forgiven for believing that Christ has just been born to the world's richest welfare beneficiaries.

Is this bizarre carnival of Royal procreation proof-positive that we were right to object to 800 years of colonisation by such a strange nation?

Do you care about this story? Do you think it's all just celeb-mag trash? Or are you one of the people waving union flags and speculating on baby names (my money is on calling him Brexit)

Is it yesterday again already?

I missed the news yesterday. Didn't even get a text from Meghan, selfish b*tch.

Good morning sweet Prince.

Yesterday, the UN announced that a million species are at risk because of human intrusion on their natural habitat.
This morning, the Daily Mail has published a 23 page special supplement on the birth of the Harry and Meghan's baby with no photos of the baby, no name announced, or no photo of Meghan.

We. are. f*cked.

I'd like to think there might be some sort of happy medium between Union Jack body-paint and spitting on the Sassenach Divil-Babby. Nice to see the young royals up the road doing well, more luck to them.

You're missing the big picture, the prince who was promised will save us all. Rejoice!

He's running around Westeros trying not to bang his aunt.

I could just as easily reply "and you felt it was important enough to reply to this thread?", but you and I both know that the real spectacle here is the exaggerated media reaction. Vanessa Feltz has just been on TV pledging her love to the royal baba.

Its the reaction to the birth that astounds me, as for the couple themselves I would wish them the same luck as any other young parents.

But the hysteria is something to behold.

A British public that has been absolutely beleaguered by Brexit for two years finally gets some good news. Can we not just let them celebrate?

Great another little dole scrounger ...

...says the one watching that fat feckin eejit on the telly shíte on about a new baby.

The whole royal thing is a farce and a joke . Why would we care beyond a 30 second flash on the news.
Our media has lost the run of itself with this stuff for that last few years.

British people fawning over the Royals is embarrassing enough, Irish people doing it is unspeakably cringey.

That said, the popularity of celebrity culture proves a common human impulse to obsess over perceived social superiors. As a national symbol of celebrity obsession for the morons of their society to rally around the British Royal Family do a good job. I'm glad to live in a Republic but I'll give credit to the Windsors for their enduring success in their field; rebranding successfully from Saxe Coburg and Gotha, shaking off Nazi sympathiser scandals, maintaining relevance into the modern celebrity age. Many of them approach their role with a respectable sense of duty too, it's difficult to imagine a Kardashian piloting hazardous air sea rescue missions as Prince William does for example.

Vanessa Feltz isn't fat. Mental, perhaps. Shameless royalist, certainly. But not fat. We've all done worse.

She used to be but as I don't pay her any attention I wasn't aware that she may have since lost some weight.

I hear she bought a house near Ballycotton. Nice woman, by all accounts.

It's 2am, the music has stopped. All the hotties are queuing in Supermacs, and suddenly a surly blonde approaches you... "Hi, I'm Vanessa"...

Would you turn her down? You would in my arse.
