Charles III's Coronation

[canyonwalker]

Have you ever played the game of responding to news headlines that pose a question by suggesting the simple, brief answer that could make up the whole article? I've been doing that with headlines about the coronation of Charles III, King of England.

For example, one headline in an American news source the other day was:

Everything You Need to Know About Charles III's Coronation

...And I'm like, ooh, that's easy:

1. The coronation is Saturday, 5 May 2023.


2. Your American forebears declared independence from this antiquated monarchy nearly 250 years ago.


3. Stop being an idiot.

Then I saw the headline:

How to Watch the Coronation in America

...And I'm like, wow, that's even easier:

1. Don't.

🤣

UPDATE: Now that it's over, here's the best one-sentence summary of it.
