Long Live The You-Queen!

Queen Elizabeth II is planning on giving her annual Christmas address via YouTube. Her team (as I think it's safe to assume it's not her) is setting up a YouTube channel where they'll host the video. They're also planning on sharing her first address from fifty years ago. I wonder if the Queen has interns. This seems like their idea. I couldn't imagine a better way to do this though. Royal watchers extend well beyond the UK, so this will give them a chance to connect with the Queen and of course, somehow find a way to debate racism, hollywood, and abortion in the comments section, b/c that's what happens everything single time a video makes it to the homepage with some kind of message other than a closeup of someone sticking their finger into the elbow crack between their forearm and bicep. Expect that closeup coming from the Queen early next year, and expect the finger to be replaced with a Royal bananna.
