Why is there no thread on the fucking Royal Wedding?

[hooplala]

I suspected as much, but am happy to hear it.

[Suu]

Yeah, typically anything British is going to blow anything American out of the water, no matter the budget. Americans want sexy, they don't want accurate.

[LMNO]

Suu, in your professional opinion, how accurate Re the costumes in Game of Thrones?

[Suu]

It's fantasy, and Sean Bean just looks like Boromir anyway.

Why is there no thread on the fucking royal wedding?

1- because they don't (yet) allow cameras in the bedroom while it's actually consumated

2- because the only people here who actually give a fuck about it are the people who are getting a free day off to drink like motherfuckers (Payne is up till 1:45 am and drunk only because some super inbred mother fuck is getting married to an only slithly less inbred motherfuck tomorrow)

3- Because there are better dresses on show on Oscar night

4- Because no one gives a fuck about "Wills" or who will eventually become known as Queen Katherine "Kate" Hohen-Zollern

5- Because starting a thread over a goddamn dress, who some overexposed coutourier designed 4 years ago when Cain may have accidentally bumped into the spouse of wearer of said dress while said spouse was said to be receiving an education while Cain was actually, yanno, learning shit is fucking stupid.

Wait...you guys got a fucking holiday for this shit? A 3 day weekend no less?

GODDAMNIT. I obviously live in the wrong country.

4 day weekend, as we also have May Day off.

Preceded by a four day weekend last week for other, easter-y, reasons.

YOU GUISE GET MAY DAY OFF?!?!?!?!

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

AMERICA = DO NOT ASK FOR HOLIDAYS OFF THOSE ARE OUR BUSIEST DAYS FUCK YUO AND YUOR FAMILY

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

What I love about Brit-land is that they not only get crazy days like MAY DAY off . . . they also have this little pool of days off to pull from called "mental health days". You can call in to work for no other reason than you don't wanna fuckin' GO.

I am envious of this in ways that are probably unhealthy.

I've never worked anywhere that lets you do that...

Yeah, but yanno.... You get all these funny made up holidays like "Independence" Day that we don't.

I somehow figure that it all balances out.

Blackadder costumes (And some of the jokes) are exact hand made replicas (even down to the dyes used) from the Victoria & Albert Museum.

ugh, GF got up at 4 to watch the damn thing. 

The only way I would have watched it is if it was similar to Khal Drogo and Daenery's wedding: everyone's getting hammered and feasting on horse meat, people fight to the death, and at the end of it all, the queen get's it from behind.
