The Long Dark Nightmare is Over
Yes, that’s right. The long dark nightmare is over.
That is, the Royal Wedding is all done.
No more ads promoting the coverage and all that jazz.
You know, there was so much coverage on it last week, while polls showed that few Americans actually cared. (Heck, a good number of Britons didn’t care either.)
That’s the problem with a lot of these television networks. They cover what the network executives are interested in and think others should be too, rather than the stuff that people actually are interested in.
Thus, the declining television ratings as people turn to the Internet to find things that interest them rather than being passive viewers in front of a TV. Networks no longer have the captive audiences they used to.
Yet, instead of waking up to that, they continue to live in the past.
One day, the networks may be a thing of the past, and we’ll be able to watch and support our favorite shows directly, without worrying about whether a network will push it off to bad time zones, whine no one watches (because no one knows when it’s on or it’s been put in a bad time slot!) and then cancel it.
Maybe that’s why the networks were so interested in the Royal Wedding. Television networks and royalty are both archaic institutions.
and now we can all move on with our lives!
Yea, I’ve been hating all the attention it’s been getting as I don’t get what the big deal is personally. I don’t even get the point of still having the royal family exist when there’s a democratic government in place. Do they even have any purpose other than living in grandeur and strutting around the globe occasionally looking pretty?
