Dear royal couple: Accept this.

Obama also snapped a great photo with Queen Elizabeth.
On the left: Prince William is chatting up his great relationship with Kanye West. On the right: Michelle Obama has Kate, er… the Duchess, wrapped up in a chat about her anti-obesity work. Not seen, but felt: The elephant in the room, the missing invitation to the Royal Wedding for the Obamas. Perhaps it got lost in the mail?
A live stream of the Royal Wedding can be found here courtesy of ABC News. Coverage begins at 4AM Eastern / 1AM Pacific.
Nothing against the royals, but we figure you don’t read us for Will and Kate’s Excellent Adventure. So we’re going to bed. Hopefully nothing dramatic happens.
The Royal Pizza: Ubiquitous pizza chain Papa John’s enlisted the aid of a food artist to create this topping-heavy monstrosity ahead of Britain’s royal wedding. We’d love to get one of these, freeze it in a lock box somewhere, and see how much value it accrues over the next few decades. After all, people seem to love royal family memorabilia, and pizza, so it’s a slam dunk. (In other related news, we friggin’ love the URL on this story. Actually, go here.) source
According to Twitter, this was the year’s “most powerful tweet.” It’s notable that so much of the year’s news directly affected Twitter in every way, shape and form, and Ann Curry’s moment of advocacy in the wake of this year’s Haiti earthquake really stood out. Other highlights? The president of Ecuador calling a state of emergency via a tweet, Prince William announcing his marriage, our boys @BPGlobalPR making fun of BP, and Conan O’Brien announcing his second-act tour. All this stuff happened on Twitter. Who cares if only six percent of people in the U.S. are using Twitter, guys? The other 94 percent appear to be missing out. source
Save the date: Prince William engaged to Kate Middleton: If we could offer any advice, happy couple on commemorative plate, it’s this: Don’t be like Charles and Diana. That didn’t end well for anyone. source
