Comments on: The Royal Wedding and … Denison? http://www.denison.edu/theden/2011/04/the-royal-wedding-and-denison/ Denison University news, stories, & ideas Fri, 03 May 2013 15:05:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Kristen http://www.denison.edu/theden/2011/04/the-royal-wedding-and-denison/comment-page-1/#comment-198 Kristen Tue, 03 May 2011 13:42:33 +0000 http://www.denison.edu/theden/?p=7053#comment-198 Mr. Gray- As it has already been said, the girl they chose to be correspondent lived and went to school in England when she was in high school. In addition, as a member of the party who myself has been to England 4 times and who resided there for a summer, as well as being a friend of several of the other girls present who just returned from a semester abroad at St. Andrews (where Will and Kate met), I think it is safe to say your allegation is incorrect. As for the Steve Carell bits, yeah, a little random, but that was E!'s decision and not the correspondents. They wanted her to discuss him for a moment in the broadcast, probably because they are an entertainment channel and focus on celebrity news and trivia. Mr. Gray-

Which means if we reverse your sarcastic statement then the girl who was the correspondent actually was the perfect person for it since she actually spent time living in England and even attended school there! However I really don't understand the importance that has in the first place. But as far as your second point- I am guessing you didn't watch the entire broadcast, so you have to keep it in the context that this occurred 3.5 hours into a 5 hour broadcast. I wouldn't be surprised if many people welcomed 1 minute of "general interest" talk by that point! Jared- I think Susan about covered it.

I know the girl they chose as their correspondent personally and very well. When she was a teenager, she and her family lived in England for awhile. The royal wedding was not for everybody, but E! wanted to cover celebrations around the world, and for this segment talk all things Denison, and they did just that.

In all seriousness, I don't see why so many people got worked up about this event in the first place. Nobody seems to care about the reason behind the publicity, however, when they're invited to give their opinion on TV. (And why was two thirds of the video entirely devoted to Carell and Denison? These topics hardly relate to the wedding.) Who better to be a “special correspondent” for the Royal Wedding than a bunch of people who have probably never even been to England?
