Why so cynical?

So I'm assuming like everyone else, you've heard the news. Yesterday, the royal baby finally arrived, bringing with it the attention of every news outlet around the world. Cheers erupted outside Buckingham palace the moment the crier made the announcement. Who'd of thunk it, a real life 21st century fairy tale taking place before our very eyes. But, as with every good fairy tale, a villain is needed, and what better of one could there be than a troll, or many of them.

That's right, I'm talking about the numerous internet trolls attempting to fling poo and spoil an otherwise magical moment. "Why should I care", they say. "Makes me sick that so many people care about a baby from another country because the media told them it was important".

Look internet, I'm not saying that people should be compelled to care about the birth of baby... George... James... I'm kinda partial to Felix, myself, but I digress. Look at the headlines over the past month: a military coop in Egypt, the Zimmerman trial, a serial killer in Ohio, the mayor of San Diego is a total perv; pretty depressing stuff. And that's nothing out of the ordinary, really. I think we're all familiar with the phrase "if it bleeds, it leads".

Tragedy and smut sells more papers, I'm sure. But isn't it refreshing to have a positive story take the lead for once? To hear about a family doing something right, instead of whatever insta-divorse marriage the Kardashians are arranging next? Do we really have to be so cynical that we have to suck the enjoyment out of something that should be the cause for celebration? For me, I think I'm going to enjoy this brief intermission from the theater of the damn, and just send out a congratulation to the royal couple on their new bundle of joy.
