Breaking News (not)

Here we were. Simple but nice pasta lunch in Melville. Mobile phone gives the sound related to an incoming SMS.

It's a Breaking News message from Eye Witness News. One of those you open right away. But to my big surprise it's a message that British heir to the thrown (or what's left of it) William will marry his girlfriend Kate in 2011.

Now since when is that breaking news for people here in South Africa? Are we still royal subjects? Just don't get it honestly... It is an insult to real breaking, important news to have this announcement as a sms-newsalert.
