...Men

A recent survery conducted by AskMen.com asked 70,000 men from the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. When asked which female public figure they were most tired of hearing about, the men were presented with the following choices, and the results were as follows:

29% Lady Gaga
25% Sarah Palin
17% Kim Kardashian
15% Lindsay Lohan
3% Kate Middleton
3% Pippa Middleton
8% None of the above

When asked the same question about males they were most sick of seeing in the spotlight, the results were as follows:

47% Justin Bieber
20% Charlie Sheen
12% Barack Obama
8% Donald Trump
4% Prince William
3% Mark Zuckerberg
0% Arnold Schwarzenegger
6% None of the above

I will have to agree withthese men, for the most part. Though personally I am more tired of hearign about Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber overall, they got the jist of everything correct. I am going to have to give Men a Digit Up.

...The Royal Wedding




Well I am going to ignore the problems of the world for a moment and focus on this joyous event that 99.9% of you will never ever go to in person or be a part of in any way shape or form. The wedding was wonderful. i woke up early at 3:42AM and watched all the way until 9AM. Unfortunately I was not able to nap until 4PM because my body was wide awake, though my face begged to differ. I liked Catherine's dress very much, it was very fitting for her. I wish Prince William would have worn a different coat, the red washed him out a little, especially when he blushed. The hats were amazing. Now we will be seeing a ton of those hats hitting America this Spring and Summer, but I am prepared for it. The guest that got the most attention by far were the Beckhams, and they looked good. My favorite was Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, she looked stunning in her electric blue. Not to be out done the queen looked nice in her canary yellow attire. The kiss on the balcony, part one and two, what a "treat". I enjoyed the many many cars traveling to the church. All in all the whole day full of events went off without a glitch, even though there was a slight ring snag, but that was due to nerves, typical. I am giving this Royal Wedding a, do you have to ask, Digit Up. Prince Harry it is your turn...

...Kate Middleton

We all know she is getting married to Prince William today. A lot girls dream of becoming a princess some day, but do you actually know what you have to give up? Here is a little list of 10 things Kate will be giving up after becoming a Princess (Provided by Emma Kemp at Yahoo! UK Stuff)




1. Be referred to as 'Kate'

When Kate Middleton joins the House of Windsor this year, her official title will become ‘Her Royal Highness the Princess William of Wales’.

She can be addressed as 'Catherine' or 'Ma'am' (pronounced like 'ham'). But 'Kate' isn't going to cut it anymore by Royal standards.

Clarence House officials will probably wine and dine London's Royal correspondents and then ask them to please refer to Kate as 'Catherine' in the future. But we think they will refuse to do this. Something to do with search engine keywords.

2. Vote

Technically, the Queen and other members of her family are allowed to vote, but they do not do so because in practice it would be considered unconstitutional and not in accordance with the need for neutrality.

This is in keeping with the Royal Family's public role, which is based on identifying with every section of society, including minorities and special interest groups.

3. Run for political office

For the reasons stated above, this is also a no no.

4. Escape the scrutiny

As arguably Britain's most dysfunctional family, the Monarchy provides the British public with a generous source of voyeuristic entertainment, and an opportunity for heartless slander.

Having already been under the media spotlight for the best part of nine years, Kate has copped her fair share of criticism from the media over the most mundane and insignificant of things.

She's a commoner. She's an outrageous social climber. She's not outgoing enough. Her mum is an air hostess who uses the word 'toilet'.

The public watchdog will be onto Kate 24/7, so when she slips on that tiara come 29 April she will damn well have to make sure it’s a pretty one. But not too pretty. That would be exhibitionist.

This scrutiny will grow existentially and extend to all aspects of her life. Did you know the Middleton family can only trace their roots back to the mid 1500s? So what were they up to in 1413 then? They must be hiding something.

5. Play Monopoly

In 2008, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, said that the Royal Family was not allowed to play Monopoly at home "because it gets too vicious". No member of the family has yet revealed what they play in its place during the Christmas holidays.

6. Say or do anything controversial

This includes accepting large amounts of money from 'businessmen' for access to your husband and getting your toes sucked in public by your financial adviser. You know who you are, Fergs.

But it also encompasses Kate's expression of her preferred political position, social position, sexual position – basically anything within the realms of personality.

So far she has succeeded seamlessly in this, not putting a foot wrong in any situation. Granted though, the world has only heard her speak once after her and William's engagement and that was a heavily rehearsed affair.

7. Eat shellfish

British Royals are apparently never served shellfish, because of a fear of food poisoning. So if Kate can't live without crustaceans, she will have to seek them out in her own time.

8. Work

It is well known that Royals and careers don't mix well. As proven when Prince Charles' plan to work part time in a factory failed and Countess Sophie Wessex was forced to abandon her PR firm.

In Kate's case though, the whole unemployment scenario shouldn't be too difficult to handle. At 29 years of age she is the oldest spinster ever to marry a future king, and though she has a History of Art degree and years of life experience, Kate has spurned work wherever possible.

This is unless you count seven months as a casual accessories buyer for clothing chain Jigsaw and a short time working for the family company, Party Pieces.

Pinned by some as the unemployed woman marrying into a welfare family, we're reckoning the guys at Buckingham will keep her busy by sending her to lots of boat launches and pancake flipping gigs.

9. Sign anything unofficial

As a potential future counsellor of state if William becomes king, Kate might at some stage have to sign government papers and brings legislation into force in her husband's place.

People in this position are strictly not supposed to sign anything that could lead to their signature being copied and forged.
Last year Prince Harry was in hot water when he flouted this rule by signing the plaster cast of a girl who had fractured her arm, a media report said.

The 17-year-old from Leicestershire was so excited she said her cast would be "going in a glass box", which the Queen might not have been too happy about.

10 Finish her dinner

If she is a slower eater than her grandmother-in-law, Kate could go hungry. In Britain, when the Queen stops eating, you stop as well, fork in hand.



While some of this would be easy for many to give up I could not handle this. They also do not drive, on public roads. They can still drive on their private property, but that would not be enough for me. While I would like to give this list a Digit Down I will give it a Digit Up. Why? Because it seems as if she and William are very much happy and in love together. Also maybe she will not be queen one day. I can easily see Prince William abdicating the throne. Any who Digit Up to Catherine "Kate" Middleton.
