I hate how there's one internet yet these clips won't play in Canada due to our metric system.

As shiatty as life can get, at least I have her and Margaret Thatcher's death to look forward to

Just when you thought the media had hit a new low with the teleprompters frenzy there came this.

I did a spit take when he looked at the camera and said "POISONOUS".

At least when Liz pops it we get a days holiday.

When Thatcher goes it will just feel like a holiday.

The difference being that the Queen has generally been a good person, whereas Thatcher would insult shiatstains everywhere by comparing herself to one.

It's not the metric system. This will all go away the day you take the queen off your money.
You too, brits.

Because it's thick, hard, brassy, and thinks it's a sovereign.

I'm pretty sure the reasoning for keeping the monarchy isn't for protecting individual rights. We'll trade you, though. Canucks, Austrailians, and Brits can have gun violence and Detroit, and we'll take your Queen.

so when a guest in a foreign allied nation, the best course of action is what? punch the queen in the face because you think she is outranked by your guy?

No, no, you're confused. Americans don't punch foreign dignitaries.

We taze them.

Thatcher handed you 20 years of prosperity. Browns doing a spectacular job so far eh?

 
Whitewabbit 2009-04-03 05:34:35 PM  
yes, because when brown (or whacky jackqi) dies, they're going to be lamented and mourned.

Well, then write a letter to the Heritage Minister and the CRTC about how retarded it is that we can't watch TV show clips on American sites.

HOoooO AHHaahaaa. Good one there.

Obviously you weren't around in the UK during the 80's to witness all this "prosperity".

You weren't there during black Monday either? The ERM default? 3,000,000 unemployed?

The riots in the inner cities in the '80s?

The Poll Tax?

The funniest part about that clip was the CNN clips they showed. Too bad John didn't rip into them for covering Obama's trip and Michele's clothing like 13-year-old girls.

Besides that, the clip sucked.

Was hoping that was going to be Frankie Boyle - the only reason to watch MtW. Man's a genius.

wyrlss: I'm pretty sure the reasoning for keeping the monarchy isn't for protecting individual rights.

Actually, that's one of the more recent arguments for keeping her. She can dissolve parliament, so if we ever get a Hitler or a Stalin, she has the theoretical power to prevent him opening up the death camps. If nothing else, the argument goes, such an act would stir people out of their apathy.

On the other hand, if she were ever to withhold Royal Assent in anything but an end-of-the-world scenario, I'd be leading the charge down the Mall.

/it's not a very convincing argument

When the Daily Show is doing more informative interviews than most of the 24 hour network shows, I don't think Drew needs to be paid. People probably submit Daily Show links every day.

I don't know much about Thatcher. My understanding so far is "If Reagan dressed like a woman". Am I close?
