Hitch's reference to people crying on cue at the death of the dear leader is prescient; that's exactly what happened 14 years later when the leader of North Korea died, the very same weekend that Hitch himself passed on to the great debate in the sky.
@MinotawrTV Actually ... we're both wrong. His brother (Peter Hitchens) wrote:
"Some people have asked me when and where my brother’s funeral took place. In fact, as Christopher donated his body to medical science, there has not been and will not be any funeral."
@KevD08 What was the purpose of your comment by the way? Are you Hitch's spokesman telling people what to call him? Well look at that, I called him Hitch again. Learn to handle it.

At 2:30 the guy casually says "..if she'd been, Mother Teresa, say...". The thing is Mother Teresa did die the same day this interview was recorded - 5th September 1997.
Does anyone know whether this interview took place before or after Mother Teresa's death was announced?
When this spencer girl's death happened i was in high school in india. I remember everyone around me saying she was a role model. I just knew she was hot and was as good a role model as Marilyn monroe was to me.
It seems like the east india company establishment hadn't left as yet...
Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
Diana was flawed, but this is her appeal - her emotional vulnerability. I wish Christopher would have set aside his own exceptional intellect for just a moment and considered that it was Diana, in using her power and influence to connect with common people, who gave people a sense of stability and reassurance. That surely contributed to the cult that formed around her. Not everyone can be as witty, self-assured and realistic as Chris. People needed Diana, badly.
Christian nuns believe that though's who suffer are the elect of god. She was a true believer thats what needs to be understood. Which will lead you to the understanding that being a non believer is much better

@nerdyharry That is how cretin is pronounced in British English. The pronunciation that sounds like creetin is avoided because it sounds exactly the same as the word Creten (someone from the isle of Crete).

I think this guy is nuts, both of them actually because how dare they talk about Princess Diana in this manner...the woman was killed and these two losers are just shrewing her great name...unbelieveable! To the idiot who cracked the corny joke of :why did the Princess cross the road" u need to grow up and get a life cause its obvious you dont have one...maybe u should cross the road, please!
@cottontop6395 the point they are making is how ridiculous and sappy the coverage was...on the front page of that newspaper they show in the beginning it should 3 suicide bombings and 9 israelis being killed...no big deal we need to talk about someone whos death was an accident just because of who she was..i dont know enough about to her have anything against her but the coverage of her death was ridiculous
Diana was a nobody - the royal family are a bunch of nobodies - they are a drain on the economy and make people forget about their real problems as they live vicariously through silver spooned pricks!
I'm a big fan of Christopher Hitchens, particularly his opinions on religion and morality. However, saying that for Princess Diana to be killed by a landmine would be "a very fine way for her to go" is morally reprehensible. Absolutely disgusting.
@TheAaj123 It's not morally reprehensible; he was trying to depict the difference between a meaningful death (dying in a manner related to a cause she had championed, the removal of landmines) to the meaningless death that befell her (an automobile accident with, as Hitchens put it, the 'international white trash jet set.') If you want 'disgusting', you'll love his comparison of Diana with landmines.
Pruden is right about something. Humans are lookist pigs even as babies they prefer so-called attractive faces. If Diana had looked like, say, Merkel you wouldn't have seen that much hoopla over her death.
@solarboy555 How the hell did Pruden not know Hitchens made a friggin' MOVIE vilifying Mother Theresa? Or did he, do you think, do it just to get Hitchens' goat? Perhaps Hitchens grumbled because he was uncertain and didn't follow up with a massive Hitchslap as he is so famous for. I cannot imagine that Pruden pronounces Winfrey's given name as "Opera" purposely and is in addition unaware of Hitchens' movie. If so, he's a complete dolt.
Hearing Christopher slag off the British royal family. So eloquently demolish those hideous overated mammals tax funded chinless idiots. Is the perfect antidote to the nauseating nonsensicle media hype. About the non-issue that is the Royal wedding.
The outpouring was a pre-cursor to the uk celeb culture. The vicerious (sic)mourning of the lady we never knew.? I mourn the popular :. i share the popularity. However dont throw the baby away . perhaps a celebration of the brits true love affair with the underdog. or the champion of humility ? gawd bless yer guvnah xxx
I was 8 when the Diana episode happened. I lived in London at the time, and remember vividly the public response. Even at 8, my foremost thought to those people crying was 'Get a fucking life'.
@finchy633 Well said, Finchy! And here we go again on Friday with the "Royal Wedding". Wed, enjoy your lives, do as you please, but not on the exorbitant taxes funded by the gullible and bullied British public. What a disgrace...and in 2011. The country needs to grow up and become a Republic. Even the French did this, a couple of hundred years ago I might add!
Well said finchey. I was roughly the same age when that hideously overated, over-priviledged tax sponge. That was Diana bought it. It was the pre-cursor to the sappy celeb-obsessed junk media that we have today. The Royal Family is nothing more then a bad tax funded soap opera. Which the sensationalist Murdoch media and co,eats up
@finchy633 Deifying celebrities and politicians is sleazy imo. People die all the time and alot are unmourned or mourned very little. What has this slut done to warrant being raised up on high above us? Inbred blue blooded "royal" status? You should hate politicians and celebrities and religious heads for thinking they are above you.
@starcrafter13terran Precisely. But my anger isnt aimed towards the celebrities themselves. Diana might have been a nice person, I don't know - I didn't know her. It is the ridiculous reaction of certain circles of the public that get really under my skin. People crying over the death of Diana were pathetic.
@finchy633 I was exactly the same as you at the time of this event. I remember being sat in the front room with my dad, I said to him something along the lines of "why does anybody really care?". He then responded by angrily screaming at me. Never really understood that moment until now. People get wrapped up in shit that has nothing to do with them, it's sad.
It wasn't her outward beauty that made the world mourn, it was her inward beauty that people responded to. If a public diplomat isn't empathic and sincere, regardless of how stunning he / she is, we grow weary of his / her presence, and we find ourselves questioning motives. Based on the way people responded to her charitable tours, who can deny her altruism? Cameras don't lie. Apart from the times, she was worn from the hunt, she was a carriage of grace and agape love. RIP Beautiful Soul....
What is with you fucking psychopaths? She never did anything to help the World. Yet you all persist in practically beautifying her. The Princess of Wales gave MONEY to... CHARITY? Christ, that must have left her in the dumps for a while. You are aware, that her altruism was only a PR event; right? Like all Celebrities, they forgot about it the next week. Remember, this is a Woman who almost destroyed our Monarchy. If you want to respect her for it, go ahead.
At 2:29 Pruden wonders if the hypothetical death of Mother Teresa, herself being less attractive than Diana, would evoke the same outpouring of emotion as Diana's death has.
@cotchery like 19girlbad said it was probably the New World Order (not Hulk Hogan and them but the real one). They whacked her to test the waters in an experiment on mass psychosis.
@ThePyramis Oh for goodness sake, Princess Diana would have made a bloody good Queen. The nation needs someone like her because she was a role model and wanted to change the world unlike the satanic Royal family intended to bring NEW WORLD ORDER WITH CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND BANKERS ETC! YOU SHOULDN'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA BECAUSE THEY TELL A PACK OF LIES! WAKE UP!
@21whitworth12 You need to wake up mate because the Royal family hated her from start to end. IT WAS AN ASSASSINATION! YOU BEEN BRAINWASHED FROM THE MEDIA!
@19GirlBad yeah they planned to make her driver drunk and drive 90mph through narrow streets and crash in a tunnel right? She was busy whoring herself out to some greaseball.
i don't care what Hitchens say. He hasn't got the right to judge to Princess Diana. The public fallen in love with her as a true future Queen. Princess Diana was murdered for good reasons from the satanic royal family and the corruption of politics and spies.
@19GirlBad Oh for goodness sake, it was sad she died like that, but she was not a matyr of any kind, she was just a woman, she showed her human, woman needs by shagging allsorts of different men because she had a shit husband. She would have made a terrible queen. Her mind was too modern, monarchs dont belong in the modern world.
I'm with Hitchens on this at least in as much as I am a Brit, was living in Britain at the time and entirely objected to the forced grieving in the media that week. The world continued to turn and events affecting lives in their millions kept happening and yet it was as though reality had been suspended. I'm pleased somebody had the platform to point this out.
I love Hitchens, but I do not agree with him on this subject.
Yes, Diana got attention because she was beautiful, but I also believe that if she were only just beautiful she wouldn't have been as popular as she was. There are lots of pretty women who aren't 'beloved' in the world. People saw something unique and powerful in Diana. She is probably one of the few modern women I have looked up to and which had nothing to do with physical beauty.
It is conspicuous that you do not say what it was exactly that made you, and presumeably the people mourning in the streets, so fond of Diana Spencer. Of course, this is exactly HItchens's point. The regard in which she was held, and the public displays grief that her death prompted, were significantly out of proportion with what she ever did during her life. For that reason, the reactions her death prompted were worrying simply because they were so divorced from logic and reason.

I agree that she was imperfect and glorified but these three blowhards are not the best critiques. They only come through as misogynistic big-mouths who are only commenting on her physical beauty and calling women callers hysterical.

I think this guy is nuts, both of them actually because how dare they talk about Princess Diana in this manner...the woman was killed and these two losers are just shrewing her great name...unbelieveable! To the idiot who cracked the corny joke of :why did the Princess cross the road" u need to grow up and get a life cause its obvious you dont have one...maybe u should cross the road, please!

@cottontop6395:Well, why did she cross the road? She had to have known she couldn't get to the other side, especially in a car with a drunk driver.
andyissemicool 7 months ago
@cottontop6395 the point they are making is how ridiculous and sappy the coverage was...on the front page of that newspaper they show in the beginning it should 3 suicide bombings and 9 israelis being killed...no big deal we need to talk about someone whos death was an accident just because of who she was..i dont know enough about to her have anything against her but the coverage of her death was ridiculous

Diana was a nobody - the royal family are a bunch of nobodies - they are a drain on the economy and make people forget about their real problems as they live vicariously through silver spooned pricks!

I'm a big fan of Christopher Hitchens, particularly his opinions on religion and morality. However, saying that for Princess Diana to be killed by a landmine would be "a very fine way for her to go" is morally reprehensible. Absolutely disgusting.
TheAaj123 8 months ago 2
@TheAaj123 It's not morally reprehensible; he was trying to depict the difference between a meaningful death (dying in a manner related to a cause she had championed, the removal of landmines) to the meaningless death that befell her (an automobile accident with, as Hitchens put it, the 'international white trash jet set.') If you want 'disgusting', you'll love his comparison of Diana with landmines.

Pruden is right about something. Humans are lookist pigs even as babies they prefer so-called attractive faces. If Diana had looked like, say, Merkel you wouldn't have seen that much hoopla over her death.

@solarboy555 How the hell did Pruden not know Hitchens made a friggin' MOVIE vilifying Mother Theresa? Or did he, do you think, do it just to get Hitchens' goat? Perhaps Hitchens grumbled because he was uncertain and didn't follow up with a massive Hitchslap as he is so famous for. I cannot imagine that Pruden pronounces Winfrey's given name as "Opera" purposely and is in addition unaware of Hitchens' movie. If so, he's a complete dolt.

Hearing Christopher slag off the British royal family. So eloquently demolish those hideous overated mammals tax funded chinless idiots. Is the perfect antidote to the nauseating nonsensicle media hype. About the non-issue that is the Royal wedding.

However dont throw the baby away . perhaps a celebration of the brits true love affair with the underdog. or the champion of humility ? gawd bless yer guvnah xxx

I was 8 when the Diana episode happened. I lived in London at the time, and remember vividly the public response. Even at 8, my foremost thought to those people crying was 'Get a fucking life'.

@finchy633 Well said, Finchy! And here we go again on Friday with the "Royal Wedding". Wed, enjoy your lives, do as you please, but not on the exorbitant taxes funded by the gullible and bullied British public. What a disgrace...and in 2011. The country needs to grow up and become a Republic. Even the French did this, a couple of hundred years ago I might add!

Well said finchey. I was roughly the same age when that hideously overated, over-priviledged tax sponge. That was Diana bought it. It was the pre-cursor to the sappy celeb-obsessed junk media that we have today. The Royal Family is nothing more then a bad tax funded soap opera. Which the sensationalist Murdoch media and co,eats up

@finchy633 Deifying celebrities and politicians is sleazy imo. People die all the time and alot are unmourned or mourned very little. What has this slut done to warrant being raised up on high above us? Inbred blue blooded "royal" status? You should hate politicians and celebrities and religious heads for thinking they are above you.
starcrafter13terran 9 months ago
@starcrafter13terran Precisely. But my anger isnt aimed towards the celebrities themselves. Diana might have been a nice person, I don't know - I didn't know her. It is the ridiculous reaction of certain circles of the public that get really under my skin. People crying over the death of Diana were pathetic.
finchy633 9 months ago
@finchy633 I was exactly the same as you at the time of this event. I remember being sat in the front room with my dad, I said to him something along the lines of "why does anybody really care?". He then responded by angrily screaming at me. Never really understood that moment until now. People get wrapped up in shit that has nothing to do with them, it's sad.

It wasn't her outward beauty that made the world mourn, it was her inward beauty that people responded to. If a public diplomat isn't empathic and sincere, regardless of how stunning he / she is, we grow weary of his / her presence, and we find ourselves questioning motives. Based on the way people responded to her charitable tours, who can deny her altruism? Cameras don't lie. Apart from the times, she was worn from the hunt, she was a carriage of grace and agape love. RIP Beautiful Soul....

What is with you fucking psychopaths? She never did anything to help the World. Yet you all persist in practically beautifying her. The Princess of Wales gave MONEY to... CHARITY? Christ, that must have left her in the dumps for a while. You are aware, that her altruism was only a PR event; right? Like all Celebrities, they forgot about it the next week. Remember, this is a Woman who almost destroyed our Monarchy. If you want to respect her for it, go ahead.

At 2:29 Pruden wonders if the hypothetical death of Mother Teresa, herself being less attractive than Diana, would evoke the same outpouring of emotion as Diana's death has.
Mother Teresa died later that same day. Weird.

@ThePyramis Oh for goodness sake, Princess Diana would have made a bloody good Queen. The nation needs someone like her because she was a role model and wanted to change the world unlike the satanic Royal family intended to bring NEW WORLD ORDER WITH CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND BANKERS ETC! YOU SHOULDN'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA BECAUSE THEY TELL A PACK OF LIES! WAKE UP!

She would have made a terrible queen. Her mind was too modern, monarchs dont belong in the modern world.

I'm with Hitchens on this at least in as much as I am a Brit, was living in Britain at the time and entirely objected to the forced grieving in the media that week. The world continued to turn and events affecting lives in their millions kept happening and yet it was as though reality had been suspended. I'm pleased somebody had the platform to point this out.

ViperRob42 1 year ago
I love Hitchens, but I do not agree with him on this subject.
Yes, Diana got attention because she was beautiful, but I also believe that if she were only just beautiful she wouldn't have been as popular as she was. There are lots of pretty women who aren't 'beloved' in the world. People saw something unique and powerful in Diana. She is probably one of the few modern women I have looked up to and which had nothing to do with physical beauty.
Now all we have is Paris Hilton trash. whoopee.

It is conspicuous that you do not say what it was exactly that made you, and presumeably the people mourning in the streets, so fond of Diana Spencer. Of course, this is exactly HItchens's point. The regard in which she was held, and the public displays grief that her death prompted, were significantly out of proportion with what she ever did during her life. For that reason, the reactions her death prompted were worrying simply because they were so divorced from logic and reason.

I agree that she was imperfect and glorified but these three blowhards are not the best critiques. They only come through as misogynistic big-mouths who are only commenting on her physical beauty and calling women callers hysterical.
