Was Canada Too Boring for Queen Elizabeth II?
Queen Elizabeth of England is coming to New York City! And good thing, too, because she seems to have been really bored in Canada, where she just spent eight days. At least, according to these photographs.
How boring is Canada? Is it boring enough to bore a person whose job it is to go to boring events, all the time? These Getty photos of Queen Elizabeth II of England's trip to the Land of Bieber indicate: Maybe!
Queen Elizabeth, who is basically a real queen, except no beheading, just finished her eight-day tour of Canada, America's goody-two-shoes brother. And, she did not exactly seem riveted. You may have seen her be bored by wigwams, dancing, and men in lab coats.
But those were not the only things that the British monarch was unable to feign interest in on her trip! Using the magic of highly-prejudicial photo selection, we were able to demonstrate that not even the Queen of England, who owns all of Canada, or something, is interested in the place that gave us Degrassi.
