A LOT of people cry obsessed on here when the truth is they just haven’t got a lot to say.

But that's just my assessment of the topic.

I don't think anyone will be criticising 99 year old SIR National treasure Attenborough,no ... you're right there . Be a bit weird to moan about what an old man who's spent his life doing the work that he's done ,to then laugh at him & his advice on prosecco .

On a serious note ,I don't care enough regarding this. It's like the royal family themselves or the Kardashians ...I'm not fans of any of these people .

Love it

Although currently am on the 0 alcohol variety which is pretty palatable

Well in that case presumably the two of you will stop following me all around the damn forum to nitpick something I have said ..

I understand Rusticgal's opinion on this topic (which tbf not everyone talks about Meghan Markle on the Internet in a logical way, with all due respect to Meghan detractors) but I ultimately just don't really see the issue with what she's doing.

As long as I am not being forced to watch Meghan's content, then she isn't really personally affecting my life.

That's how I view it personally.

I find it all quite hilarious. Ambitious bit-part actress with one half-decent TV role under her belt, marries a prince and gets the title of duchess gifted to her. Now she's the font of all knowledge on everything genteel. Don't forget to chill your sparkling wine, everyone, and pour it slowly or it'll fizz over the top of the glass. **** off, Meghan.

But he wouldn’t would he …..we learn so much from that man. If he came on telly telling us to chill Brut and Prosecco in the fridge before drinking we would think he had lost his marbles…

Now to be fair... there's a lot of chintzy cheapy doo dads like this in American shops to produce silly things. Walk through a Walmart and that's the IQ level in terms of product selection she is appealing to. You will easily find other pallets of plastic crap to make "fun shaped" ice, but imo most of it does not need to be produced and is a waste on both the environment and the economy. Especially just to get it to the consumer. Useless novelty/mostly useless plastic crappola is ubiquitous with American brick-and-mortar retail maybe even worse than Amazon.

Meghan tries to mix the American bargain shopper mentality and "discerning" types in a way that also meets the needs of the "average Instagrammer". It's way too much and so much of her marketing doesn't make sense... I get it's trying to be a self-fulfilling.. if she fits so many markets eventually someone will pluck her and put her where she hopes to be. There's no salesmanship though and it's thought out about as well as the average MLM... but at least with MLMs you can sometimes find a really good product. I'm really surprised she hasn't gotten into scrapbooking with her calligraphy bit but admittedly that's already a crowded market.

Trad wife is a label that people use to make those people following a traditional lifestyle appear more well-adjusted to modern society. "I'm just me being me". See, if you add in enough subtle notes of narcissism, it makes it more palatable to culture somehow. It's like trying to say you're the DIY definition of individualism to avoid clashing with modern gender norms. "I'm reconnecting".

I think it's easier to say that Meghan is trying to appeal to hippies if that were the case... and everyone else as well.

I don't think that it's been established who she is targeting because her marketing is mostly nonsense. "Lifestyle brand" is and isn't very specific.

You know wrestling matches aren't real, right? We're making fun of marketing and that's hilarious.

Spoiler:

Edit: You're a sports person so may get that better than most. The "personality" bits of sports is completely faked, but it helps drive interest.

With all due respect Rusti .....I also think a dear old man in his late 90's pushing 100 would be given a lot more grace , I don't know anyone who dislikes Attenborough. I think he could appear on screen and waffle on about something as random as tea cosies ,and people would be in such awe of him ....and think " awww bless him ", as he has such a legacy .

[thesheriff443]

Meghan has made a fool of herself over and over, she and Harry play the victim card while living in luxury they lie or twist the truth to suit their agenda

Despite this Harry is 5th in line to the throne and his kids are 6th and 7th

They need a lot of money to live their lifestyle so need to keep the brand going but Meghan is just doing crap that’s been done a hundred times already
