Here at work, listening to CNN (At least it's not Headline News anymore, I got so tired of listening to the same story 2-3 times an hour for 4+ hours). Evidently today there's not enough local newsworthy news so all that they're talking about is the Royal wedding. The newscaster just called it the biggest event of the century. For some reason that just irked me. It makes what happened Sept 11 2001, Katrina, BP's oil spill, Obama (1st black president) or the multiple tsunamis/earthquakes (including a potential nuclear meltdown threat) seem not as important. Grrrr.
Don't get me wrong, I will dvr whatever channel is broadcasting the wedding at the asscrack of dawn. (I'm not as obsessed as a few of my friends) I realize that it is a monumental event because he is the future King of England, but to call it the "Event of the Century" is just wrong. Not to mention that we're only 11 years into the century, it just seems a little early to classify it as such.
Ok that's enough of my rant. I know it's silly, but it really did piss me off to hear her say it with such conviction.
