The media have gone ballistic with the news that the Duke and Duchess of whatever are expecting. The woman is barely in her first trimester and I have already seen 15+ articles about morning sickness, the probability of her carrying twins, the royal ascension to the throne and predictions on whether the child will be male or female.
This is possibly the most boring couple ever and now we have eight plus months of speculation and maternity watch stories to look forward to. And after the royal offspring is born, who knows how many articles will be written about Kate Middleton reverting back to her per-baby weight. It almost makes Honey Boo Boo look like serious documentary subject matter.
News outlets: stop! All these stories about a royal female having a baby. Whaaaaaat? Are we back in the 1950s? Another privileged white monarch enters the stratosphere. So what? Stop your ridiculous coverage right now, especially if you are American. We are not part of the British empire any more, remember??
Bloody hell.
Just because they only come every four years...
