Speaking of The Daily Show, here’s another great piece from this week. Funny x Munn. Can’t go wrong there! Her mom reminds me of some of the homies’ parents too, classic.
When I woke up yesterday and begrudgingly started getting ready for work, I noticed my Twitter and Facebook timelines were filled with friends expressing their extreme hatred for all the media coverage of Will & Kate’s royal wedding. Even though my dad is British and I have family there, honestly, I had no idea the wedding was even going down, let alone that it was this big of a deal…or at least that the media was trying to make it such an event.
While I understand why folks were so perturbed, I really couldn’t care less about the wedding or the media’s coverage of it. Yeah, they blew it up to an absurd degree. Um, that’s what they do. Perhaps I’m a jaded media studies major, but I don’t see why any of this is surprising or discouraging. Instead of getting annoyed by the coverage, I watched a little last night and above all, it reminded me how much I heart British people. The wedding was so old fashioned…so banal…so proper…and the people looked so…utterly miserable. THAT, my friends, is the British society I know and love.
I could write pages trying to explain the nuances of it all, but I think this Kate Middleton For The Win Tumblr site sums it all up brilliantly in every simple photo edit. Go there. Immediately!
In related news, I caught up on The Daily Show episodes I missed this week and I particularly enjoyed John Oliver returning to London to cover the wedding:
*DEAD* @ what he said about Kix cereal.
Greatness.
You may remember these lyrics from a previous WLotD. I say get your money Homer.
It’s great to see the homey Clipse doing big things with the whole Bizness/Kuddie Fresh crew. I wish Stretch could be out there enjoying their success too, but hopefully he’ll get out soon. Keep up the great work fellas…making Seattle proud.
And not to put him on blast (ok maybe a little), but mainly because this reminds me of the good ol’ days, peep a classic SNSS moment:
Balance toi!
DEAD. Didn’t even realize this was James from my college with all the make up on. Good to see another 5-C alum killin it…lot of talent passed through Claremont at some point hahaha.
Banksy murdered the Simpsons intro this week, scoring a direct hit on the Fox media machine. Hyph-approved all the way around.
