I'm no fan of monarchy, even the truncated and almost entirely symbolic English variety. However, it does represent continuity and a certain reverence for history, a certain dignity. That all flew out the window, or rather the passenger door of an airplane, with this mock-parachuting “drop in” by the Queen of England. She should have been attended by a fleet of Elvis impersonators on her way down, imho, or perhaps intercepted in mid-flight by a magic carpet and gently wafted to earth, to appeal to the burgeoning Muslim segment.
The repeated Obama ads were disgusting as well, especially the one claiming that Obama saying “you didn't build that” to business owners is a lie.
I won't be watching again.
Not healthy, in my opinion.
You can’t be serious.
I understand YouTube needs to make money but already sick of the Obama and Romney political ads. On the bright side you can skip over them after a few seconds.
As an unreconstructed Anglophile which has my Irish progenitors spinning in their graves, I found the opening sequences outstanding. The segment about the Industrial Revolution was a slap in the face to Barak Kardashian Osama. They did it on their own with no royal or parliamentarian support.
Unfortunately, the rest of it degenerated into an MTV or a Super Bowl halftime show.
