Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"What was funny was the ridiculousness of it all.
The two Aussies using the most ridiculous impersonation of the queen, them laughing at each other that they got through, them taking the mickey out of the establishment, them taking the mickey out of the press for conflating such a non story.
All those things had comedic merit to them whether youy like it or not is irrelevant. Those in authority are a legitimate target to poke fun at.
All this crap about targeting an bullying the nurse is ridiculous.'"
You're confusing 'ridiculous' with 'squirmingly awful'. It wasn't funny or ridiculous, it was car crash radio, awful from the outset, schoolyard 'humour' ill-conceived and ill-advised. There was no 'comedy' as far as I could tell.
I agree those in authority are legitimate targets of fun, but really, you call someone in the middle of the night in hospital, in the delicate early stages of pregnancy when you know she has a serious condition? You can't see how inappropriate and over the line that is, even through your anti-royal specs?
And I'm dismayed that you found the discomfort of the nurses 'comedic'. You can hear the panic in their voices - "Sh*t, is that really the Queen, do I dare challenge her? Do I hell. Sh*t, what do I do? Sh*t." As it happens that has backfired in the worst possible way, but you carry on ridiculing them, it clearly gives you a hard-on.
Quote Durham GiantAnd as for Cronus saying most people did not find it funny does that really surprise when you look at British media sites to find British people dont like johhny Foreigner taking the mickey out of a British monarchy. That is because the monarchy are set up as being above us.
I see you have already fallen for the poor saintly little Kate.
No doubt you have her picture sat next to your one of Saint Diana.'"

Waaaaay wide of the mark. Making things up to support your argument again?
I'm not hugely 'pro'-royal, neither am I anti-royal. They exist and they're part of our nation. Couldn't care less for Diana, I know a few people who knew her personally, including a few Horseguards who definitely knew her personally. Wills & Kate seem decent enough and the majority of intelligent people can see past Kate's status when she's pregnant and fairly seriously ill.
And your excuse for people not finding the 'prank' funny is because it wuz forenners wot dun it? What about the hundreds of comments from Australians and other nationalities condemning the call. What's their reason? Methinks you're drowning lad.
