    Just people in the public spotlight...celebrities...humans love to watch what others in that position do, the drama, the pomp and circumstance.

    At least there is a lot of history and tradition in the UK. I took some tours when I was there a few years ago, some neat stuff! But these days it's just another celebrity, like a Hollywood actor, pretending to be something bigger.

    If you're asking for my opinion, the people that REALLY get into that stuff just don't have enough going on in their own lives. It's easier to watch others "do" while you sit and do nothing.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I've discussed this with my girlfriend many times - it's the pageantry, the tradition, and the family aspect. I understand it.
    When I was in London, it was pretty cool checking out all of the royal stuff. I've still got a nice wooden Buckingham Palace pasta spoon to remind me!

    That's kind of harsh! Are you a sports fan in any way? I mean...do you think the entire populace of England have nothing going on in their own lives?
    Tradition means a lot to people.

    Man you were quick with that edit before I could edit mine

    Was going to edit or emphasize the "REALLY" get into that stuff.

    And I think the same applies to those who REALLY get into sports, yeah.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    All I know is, Kaneda wouldn't have a successful podcast if everybody wasn't obsessed with pinballs' royal families. It's pretty much the same thing.

    Who is Kaneda?
