I don't give a fat rat's ass about Charles & Camilla

[Elidor]

The Man Who Would Be Tampon is about as interesting as the rest of his inbred, ill-favored family of congenital geeks* and slumlords, which is to say, not at all. With every public utterance, this overpuffed failure of a momma's boy reminds us anew how prudent it would be to ensure that no one in the Royal Family ever reproduces again.

As exhibit A, let me introduce:
Victoria
Albert
"Bertie"
& Frederick Wilhelm Viktor Albert of Hohenzollern


To hell with the Hohenzollerns!

*Geeks is used in the original sense of the word: biting the heads off chickens in a carnival sideshow.

1. Me neither...

However, they were fodder for one amusing skit on SNL, so for that I'm thankful. :)

6. The best skit on ANY British Royal Family:

The Lion in Winter. Hilarious. Too bad they got it wrong about Richard being gay, but that rumor had wider credence back in the day.

2. Then why mention him at all? You sound very angry about a man

you deign to think about. I do not understand the hatred on DU of the British royalty. If the British like them, that is enough for me. It is certainly none of my business.

5. I find him irksome–and for that he must die!!!!

Kidding. I do find him irksome, however. He is the cultural equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. His continued coverage in the media makes me want to go find lodging with a wolverine somewhere in the hills.

3. Who are they?

;-)

My history professor calls them "The Queen's bizarre dysfunctional family"

[Merrick]

4. Yeah, screw them!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. My sincere hope is that they individually fuck themselves.

There are more pressing matters in the world.

I do feel bad that Diana had to go through that sham of a marriage. She seemed sweet. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't.

EVERYONE deserves to be loved. Charles didn't love her, so FUCK him, and FUCK his "happiness."

Seriously...FUCK his "ROYAL" ASS.

8. He modeled for Mr. Potato Head

9. I'm focusing all my attention on Michael Jackson, no time for Brits.

not

10. Excuse me, American type people

I realize you're caught up in your own problems and all, but this will affect you down the road.

And it might be nice if you stopped bashing 'royalty' just on principle and thought about it.

There is a republican movement in the UK. They want to get rid of the royal family and have been working to that end for years.

Charles is a perfect target for them. Almost heaven-sent.

Hence all the ridicule, and highlighting of royal gaffes.

The UK is hesitant about joining the EU...currently America's nemisis with their Euro.

One of the major stumbling blocks is the royal family.

Would Brussels rule the Queen of England?

Would the Brits stand for Poland ordering the royal family about?

So...to join the EU...the royal family has got to go.

And if the UK becomes a republic and joins the EU...which is already increasing in size and influence by leaps and bounds....and isn't interested in helping out the US on anything....

Now, do you see how all this affects the US?

[Elidor]

12. I WANT Britain to help Europe isolate the US

Someone has to stop us, for god's sake.

11. As far as I'm concerned, it's ROMANTIC (and I hate that kind of thing)

He married the princess chosen for him by his family, and yet he continued to F*ck his one true love for decades...."sniff" I'm getting choked up.... excuse me..."sniff"

He wanted to be her tampon! It's so beautiful!!!! :cry:
