British royal family.

Religions that collect money from adherents.

Web 2.0 data harvesting.

Totally, but about British royal family... we could apply to any royal family in general...

True but I feel that the Brits are quite advanced in this area. They've got a fantastic public relations department that works tirelessly to maintain a sense of endearment to a family that has all the charisma of a house brick. Not everyone can cut funding for healthcare and simultaneously increase it for a class of super wealthy privileged idiots while keeping the tiny flags waving.

The problem is that we keep jumping up to new major versions where of course there's all kinds of regressions. We really just need to revert to Web 2.7.3 rev4, now that was a polished release.
