Conspicuous Consumption

Greenspan might call it Irrational Exuberance?
However, it's just another demon-stration of aristocracy flaunting their special privileges.

While the world is submerged in a myriad of cataclysmic conditions, and war and famine are rampant; A royal British couple exhibit their "we're above it all" attitude on the streets of the bastion of anachronistic double standards: The UK or United Kingdom; What an anachronism it is - in the 21 st Century? The U.N.'s Millennium Development Goals and the Vatican calling for WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION... While NATO, the EU, and the U.N. (of which Britain plays a pivotal role) are pounding Libya to ensure that Kadaffi the dictator is defeated, the English nobility displays its pomp and so-called glory by conducting a spectacle of a wedding. Simply smashing, old chap! Positively marvellous!

The amount of irony in this act is abysmal.

Arsenio.
