If I hear one more mention of the Og-damned interview I’m going to puke. It’s not enough that it is a tedious who the fuck cares non-event. Oh no, we have to hear about it for seemingly months beforehand, pre-analysed, second-guessed, prognosticated, anticipated, chewed over like tomorrow’s dog vomit and now in the case of a couple of gullible, pathetic excuses for human beings known as “royal commentators” [just shoot me already] even commented on in detail before it’s happened. And as you miserable real life soap opera tragics click on this shit so much even quality media sources cannot (_cannot_) resist the temptation to run this spew because (I assume) the revenue is too irresistible to be foregone. And to make it all worse, much as I’m waiting eagerly for the interview to be broadcast (so it will be over not so that I can watch it, natch) your insatiable, heroin level addition to this diarrhea is such that it will do me no good because it is never-ending, and we will be onto the next piece of breathlessly anticipated and wanked over piece of Royal irrelevancy. Fuck. ---

Yeah, but it helps bump the Kardashians out of the headlines for a bit. ---

I’m in Australia. We don’t get Kardashian shit so much, and in the more “quality” media outlets, they aren’t mentioned. No such luck with the tedious remnants of the former UK hereditory dictatorship, sorry to say. ---

Since this is the pit: anyone who spends their time thinking about the royals is a fucking moron. ---

It’s pretty good so far, and I never really got into Royal Family shit. FWIW, I always was partial to Harry. Nothing against William but being the baby of the family myself, I relate to his rebelliousness and occasional dysfunction ---

I was about to type “amen to that” then I remembered that a good friend of mine - who is quite simply one of the smartest people I’ve ever met - is into this shit. Sigh. ---

Well, I have plenty of friends who _aren’t_ into this shit. In fact I can only think of one who is. My point is just that there is no accounting for the breadth of the appeal. ---

Possibly the most I’ve ever watched Oprah. ( I’ve heard good things ) It appears to be a sad situation, which they just want to explain and not as a headline on The Weekly World News. ( Oh, snickers are on sale…?) Wish them well; they seem level headed. Not surprised that PR snipes are on payroll by The Monarchy. There will be new headlines by Wednesday. I think that will make their family very happy. ---

You aren’t helping. This wasn’t supposed to be a “let’s get into the soap opera” thread. ---

I have a ton of respect for Oprah’s business acumen. A truly brilliant woman. A _real_ billionaire, unlike the Donald. ---

I clicked on this thinking the OP was being strung along on a tedious series of exercises for a job. Only to find out he wasn’t bitching about a work interview. Apparently I live under a rock. ---

But when I read just this much of the OP: It’s a measure of how thoroughly blanketed in this crap my usually relatively sober media sources have been that it didn’t occur to me that “interview” would be misinterpreted, albeit that with the benefit of hindsight, it should have occurred to me ---

Let me ask you something: for the past 25 years, we’ve all been exposed to more information per day than our ancestors would have consumed in a year. How have you not learned to mentally filter it out? How do you not automatically ignore things that don’t interest you? Just flick your eyes to the next headline, or fast forward past the commercials, or if, God forbid, you do something stupid like watch TV in real time, just zone it out (or at least look at your phone) until something interesting comes back on. Seriously - if I actually had to pay attention to everything going on around me, I’d have gone crazy years ago.
