25. I hate it being shoved in our faces constantly
A poll showed that only 6% or so of Americans really even cared about the wedding, yet, every single night on the news, there it was. It pre-empted all local news this morning (not fun if you're looking for a weather report). I read CNN sent 400 reporters to cover it. Why? Do we devote this attention to marriages involving the Swedish monarchy?

My problem is with the undue attention it's getting, in addition to my natural distaste of unnecessarily pretentious weddings. I don't care if people watch it or not, but I'm getting a little tired of others complaining about any of us who dare to mention that we don't give a shit about the wedding and are sick of hearing about it.
