Well, so much for *that* fairy tale: William and Kate divorcing.
Prince William Divorces Kate Middleton After 5 Weeks
'I Made A Terrible Mistake' Says Heir To British Throne



LONDON—Barely a month after marrying 29-year-old Kate Middleton in a royal wedding ceremony watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide, Prince William announced Tuesday that he and Middleton have divorced and that the entire marriage was "a tremendous mistake in every possible regard." "I really don't know what I was thinking—we're a terrible match, I don't love her and never have, and, to be honest, I never really had any interest in being married in the first place," announced the now unattached Prince William to a dead-silent British press corps. "People thought our wedding was some sort of fairy tale, but I assure you it was all just some ghastly ceremonial farce that got out of hand. I'm just relieved it's over, frankly. And I'm glad I'll never have to see that awful woman again." Prince William then told the assembled reporters, "Well, see you all later," smiled, and walked back into Buckingham Palace.

1. Any bets on how soon this will be the lead story on FOX Noise?
They've used The Onion as a source before and I really don't think anyone at FOX has a clue that it is a parody site.

4. Conservatives don't get parody. That's why they always sound like one. nt

5. So he says, "I think getting divorced is one of the smartest things I've done."
Fascinating!

11. Um...
she'd be super cute if she smiled smaller.

I was going to say less, but I thought someone might interpret that as "less often" rather than "OMG, I can see way too much of her gumline and I have the creepy mental sensation of her zombified and tearing into my flesh with those long teeth.
