Ya know, in this society, everybody is up-to-date technologically. Even the Queen of England.
For the sophisticated Queen Elizabeth II, Barack Obama has left a gift. He arrived in England for the G20 summit last Tuesday, and has made a stop to see the Queen.
For her present, he gave her an iPhone, “filled with tokens of American culture.”
“I wanted to give Queen Elizabeth a piece of America,” Obama later explained, “While our countries are similar, our pop culture can be quite different.” And, for the rest of meeting, the American president showed the Queen how to use her new device.
The president also filled it with modern American songs from artists like “Rihanna”, “GaGa”, and “Yeah Yeah Yeah”, TV Shows like “The Office”, “The Hills”, and “Rock of Love”, and he selected websites such as Digg and CollegeHumor, as well as his own Facebook page.
Explaining about his Facebook pick, Obama said, “This way she can friend me and we can chat anytime.”
For her homepage, Obama selected “Parezhilton.com”, a site which helps you find what you’re looking for without Google.
But, doesn’t our president sound like a high-schooler? Chatting on his Facebook with his friends all day? Granted, not every high-schooler has the Queen as his friend, but… Well, aren’t they both world leaders? Don’t they both have something better to do than talk about their bff’s? Or, maybe the Queen doesn’t have time to surf “CollegeHumor.com”.
Evidently, the queen loved the gift. Of course she did… it was a token of remembrance to the time she met the Great Messiah Obama.
