Princess Rant
No. I’m not claiming to be a princess. Yes. I’m going to rant.
For the past 2-3 weeks I’ve been seeing Princess Diana crap all over the place. She’s on all these magazine covers, there are “Special Diana Issues” on the shelves, her picture is all over the place, and she’s popped up in TV ads here and there. I’m tired of her. She’s been dead for almost a full decade now! Let it go. She wasn’t even an American!!!! If we were in England, I’d suck it up because she was very beloved there.
It just upsets me that we have to commemorate/celebrate/look-back-on/ponder/mourn every little event of her life. It’s like the following days are official PD days:
- Her birthday
- Her death day
- Her marriage day
- Her divorce day
- The birth of her first son
- The birth of her second son
- The birth of her third son
- The day she stubbed her toe on the throne
- The day she was abducted by aliens and replaced with a lizard overlord
- The day it was discovered that she was a lizard overlord, and was subsequently put back into place.
Haven’t we had enough of her? Don’t we Americans have our own celebrities? Aren’t most of them still alive? Isn’t it more interesting to read about a person that is still breathing rather than a person that is probably mostly parchment and bone by now?
We really need to start putting more important people on the cover of our magazines.
Ok. I’m running out of breath, so I’ll stop my rant now…. But I hope you see my point.
