You say that and yet it'll probably topple anything shown on Canadian television over the past 20 years apart from Olympic hockey gold medal games.

Again, he was snubbed.

Apparently due to security costs. Allegedly.

Let me know if it controls well.

If you're die-hard against on screen d-pads & buttons then you'll probably hate it. I personally love the controls, it's the only basketball game I've ever really enjoyed, but I don't have any issues with touch-screen controls. Download the lite version and try it out whilst the wedding is on.

He was snubbed because the suave motherfucker pulls focus in photos. I wouldn't want my picture taking next to him.

This is the job for, at most, the Vice President. Probably do what we always do at these things, send the ambassador along with a trite congratulatory note from the president and call it a day. Obama is doing a state visit later this year anyways.

Eh. I'll have to see if the local student bars and pubs will be showing this. Drinks and maybe a meal in the beer garden with this on the TV and plenty of snark will be fun.

Confirmed: 2 billion people need lives

Sorry, I don't see what the big deal is.

Fame, glamour, the last remnants of a half-fantasy-like institution and the possibility for people to dream away to lovely locales and luxury lifestyles. It's not rocket science to figure out why people have interest in it. TV shows about castles are popular enough on their own, add all the other soap opera stuff to it and you're golden.

A female commoner marries a handsome prince, has an amazing wedding and becomes a princess. That's the script for 75% of rom coms out there. Is it really that hard to understand?

Now that you mention it, what happened to William being handsome? What's the deal with that?

Uhm, she's not really a "commoner". Her parents are fucking rich.

Sorry.

She's not a member of a royal household, or of the aristocracy.

She's a commoner.

Hahaha, I feel bad for him though, he's not even 30 yet and that transformation is already happening to him.

Can you watch it in USA?

Serious question? How do you think they're gonna hit 2 billion if it's not on in America

CHEEZMO™ said:
Yes.

The Americans seem to be more fascinated by it than we do.

This is true.

Also est. 2 billion makes my 'NO-ONE FUCKING CARES' stance a bit hard to stand by

I'll be watching briefly simply because Kate Middleton is SO good looking - and because if I don't I'll feel like I'm missing some huge national event.

I saw a commercial for it on BBC America, so I would assume on that channel. Also I'm willing to bet most local channels will play it as well.

Yeah, I looked the matter up on Wikipedia. I was five when Princess Diana died, so I don't exactly know a lot about her life.

Coincidentally, I now get the Frankie Boyle joke about organising a gang bang in a war zone.

Why is this important? Honest question. Why are 'royal families' and all that still important across seas? Kings, Queens etc. I can't believe there's still countries that have dynasties and family heir's and all that BS. It was cool during feudal Japanese times and roman times and shit but it's 2011 that royalty stuff has gotta go.

There's a lot of countries in the world? That's an estimate? I kind of rely on OPs to give accurate information? I would think people in the UK would know where to watch it? I know what channel to turn it on when the President has a speech.

Coverage:
UK: BBC, ITV, Sky News
Will fill more if it's really needed later. The sodding thing is going to be everywhere though really.
