Local Man Makes Point To Express Disinterest In Royals

As William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, make their way across North America, one area man has made a point of expressing his disinterest in the royal family to anyone who will listen.
"I was mentioning that Will and Kate were in Calgary for the Stampede and he came up to me, like walked right out of his way to do so, and said that with all the suffering in the world, it seems stupid to focus on two people," said co-worker Mindy Baker.
The area man, identified as Michael Hall, no relation to the legendary actor, has even voiced his displeasure for the couple on Facebook stating "Kate Middleton told a lady in PEI that her dress was nice. How do I know that? Because the news thought it was newsworthy enough to tell me!"
At times, Hall's anger towards the couple borders on mania as more and more attention is heaped on them.
"I just don't get it. There is so much wrong in the world, people are starving in the streets and here we are focusing on two people who were born into wealth," Hall said forgetting the fact Middleton was born a commoner and neglecting to mention he spends his evenings playing World of Warcraft instead of volunteering at the homeless shelter two blocks away.
Anger against the royal couple reached its zenith in April during their wedding. For several weeks leading up to the wedding, Hall expressed growing anger against the coverage of the wedding, going so far to create a note on Facebook called "Why The Royal Wedding Doesn't Matter To Me". Ever the skilled marketer of his own ideas, Hall ensured he tagged everyone in his contact list so all would see it and pass it on after seeing he was right to get angry over a wedding that had no affect on his life. When the big day arrived, Hall was up early watching and writing down items that made him angry, ensuring he could make another note no one would read highlighting why the royal couple is all that is wrong with the world in Hall's mind.
Once the royal couple has left North America, Hall plans to begin telling people that hockey players are paid too much when police officers are paid little, and how he was on Facebook before it was cool and now only uses it to network with others like him, and to play Farmville.
