Duchess of Cambridge pregnant

[JackRiddler]

151. Possibly true, but this particular absurdity exists...

because some people invest a modicum of belief in it.

Long as the pregnancy of this particular random lady out of 3.6 billion females on the planet merits such hyperbolic description -- the most famous baby! erm fetus! in the world already! -- and the pregnancies of women who were formerly "subjects" of the criminal British empire do not merit any attention... even though their nations are still suffering from the consequences... it's important to challenge those who would foist breathless descriptions of a human biological function on us as though one pregnancy is more important than the other.

Especially if they're headlining as the pregnancy of some magical character known as the "Duchess of Whatnot" rather than by the person's civilian name.

Even if in the end it's still going to qualify as "news," thanks to the divine-right royalty worship that endures even among professed democrats.

But I'm sure you think that's all too much, so let's boil it down: Screw UK royalty. Celebrations of it are an insult both to our intelligence and to the many victims of a criminal empire.
