The Royal Wedding Dance
April 25, 2011
The T-Mobile Royal Wedding has topped 11 million views in just 10 days and still counting. The video features look-alike actors to dancing their way up the aisle in imitation of the royals. It's a nice bit of viral marketing for the cellphone company while giving the London department of tourism lots of exposure.

The London Telegraph newspaper reported that T-Mobile used London's St. Bartholomew the Great as a stand-in for Westminster Abbey. Using the church may not go over well with the Bishop of London, the newspaper noted. He's already rebuked the Rev. Martin Dudley, St. Bartholomew's priest, for marrying two homosexual priests. Now, Dudley may have shown some disrespect to the upcoming royal wedding — and the Church of England has already suspended one of its clergy, Bishop Pete Broadbent, because he said William and Kate are "shallow celebrities."
