Royals roiled?

It's great that Americans, who were once British, have an English speaking country where British people, who aren't American, can live in the not-Britain-Britain to focus on British issues like the royal family for not-British Americans who love all things England.

Oliver is the perfect exemplar of an economic migrant. Doing the jobs Americans won't, or just can't do.

Andy brings out the best in people somehow. I laughed at John Oliver. First time ever.

What the fuck is going on with the obsession of Kate Middleton and a silly supposed Photoshop?

my word - these idiots would be obsessing over silly ninny while the bomb dropped over their heads.

Rich said...

Making a mountain out of a molehill with this one. The squealing of moral outrage from tabloid picture editors is the most astonishing piece of hypocrisy. If I wanted a running commentary on the lives of the royal family I'd save myself the subscription fee and just read the Daily Mail.

john oliver = painful. zero talent. Zero.

Why do we have to import unfunny comedians? They seems to be an oversupply of those in the USA.

Leland said...

They are just pissed Kate doesn't want to hang out with them, so they are shaming her.

Tina Trent said...

That Andy guy, a proud and out homosexual who makes a distasteful career of mocking shallow women's bodies and manipulating them to humiliate themselves on camera, joking about a not-shallow woman who would like privacy regarding a hysterectomy, or a colon disease, or worse, from public discussion, is grotesque.

“It's great that Americans, who were once British…”

Not all of us.

This whole thing is reported to revolve around Will's rumored affair with some fifth-tier royal - and that affair supposedly exists because of Will's and his mistress's love of pegging, something Kate would not tolerate. I swear to god, someone wrote this. (And, yes, I had to look up "pegging." And, yes, I'm definitely with Kate on that one!)

Ann Althouse said...

My guess is that Kate just looks bad right now and doesn't want any pictures. It would be so easy to squelch the gossip — which is rampant — by just appearing briefly in public. I'd be inclined to make inferences from her failure to do that, but I think she has too big of a stake in her physical perfection and she won't give anything less than that.

JAORE said...

I feel so bad. So out of touch. So not "with it".

I have no clue, none at all what this is about.

I have the sads. But not enough to Google up this crap.

Oh. And I'm not sure there is a non-zero chance that Oliver will ever be really funny.

Kate Middleton is her dead name. She's Catherine, Princess of Wales.

So in looking up the story, because, like JAORE, I didn't know anything about it; I saw that someone snapped a photo of her riding in an Audi SUV. The photo doesn't reveal much, so it fits your guess on Kate's reasoning. Indeed, I can only take their word that the person in the passenger seat is Kate Middleton. Perhaps Audi owners know their type.

I'm certain this is vitally important to someone who cars.
Anyway.
