(This is the only thing I'm going to post about the embarrassingly excessive fanfare surrounding the Royal Wedding).
Johann Hari: Frenzy around Britain’s Royal Wedding "Should Embarrass Us All" (source)
AMY GOODMAN: Talk about the movement against royalty in Britain.
JOHANN HARI: Well, we have to deal with some really weird arguments... So, for example, the monarchists always say, "Oh, it’s really good for tourism." Actually, of the top 20 tourist attractions in Britain, only one of them, number 17, is related to the royal family: Windsor Castle. Ten points ahead of it is Windsor Legoland. So using that logic, we should have a Lego man as our head of state instead of these people.
