The Vanity of the Royal Wedding

This is a comment posted on Yahoo News about the powerful thunderstorms that slammed the southern areas in the U.S. which ravaged properties and may have claimed hundreds of lives as the death toll continues to rise.

The comment sums up the kind of society we live in today not only in America but everywhere in the world where people from all walks of life and media in particular are so hooked on the uselessness, foolishness and ostentatiousness of being so engrossed on the elaboration and fancy details of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and pointless.

May this brief but forthright dissection tell a volume to the world that somehow it may impart a glimpse into the light on the vanity side of human existence. And my only one question: What's the fuss or what is so "newsworthy" about the Royal Wedding enough to overshadow even a massive great calamity that has just befallen a nation?

Another international headline news a day after the tornado: "What Prince William whispered to Kate during the wedding?"

Here's the speculum.
