In Regards to the Royal Baby
Oh yeah, we forgot to mention, yesterday Kate Middleton gave birth to a baby, although we’re sure you heard from at least 1400 other sites. Judging by the amount of fanfare it was given, you might assume that the child is the next Messiah, or is the first of the next step in our evolutionary chain, or was born with a gene that, if extracted, could cure cancer, AIDS, and Megan Fox thumb syndrome.
Turns out, it’s just a baby, born to a normal man and woman who just happen to be next in line to the British crown. The baby PROBABLY looks, acts, and smells like any other baby (re: very good 12% of the time, like a sewage plant exploded 88% of the time), and yet judging by the Daily Mail homepage, was born without an asshole and with the knowledge of how to fix all international affairs and end wartime as we know it.
We think that British satire magazine Private Eye said it best:
Good job, Kate Middleton, at doing something women have been doing without fanfare since the beginning of humanity. LITERALLY. Now if you were able to make a baby that doesn’t inherit his father’s hairline, well, THAT deserves a parade.
