Too Bad S/He Didn't Go With 'Princess'

The artist presently known as Prince's true identity was exposed Sunday when her former manager released this topless photo:


When asked what motivated him distributed the photo, Maury Ballstein replied, "Revenge. I got sick of her outbursts, throwing apparel at me and crying, later blaming it all on PMS. The final straw was when she threatened to cancel our most lucrative show at Madison Square Garden, because it was the same night as the 'Sex and the City' film release. This was my collateral, and I used it."

Someone Call the Men in Black

Washington, DC -- A disturbing increase in alien abductions recently has resulted in swift response from the US government. Current research and first-hand accounts provided the impetus for government officials to to take action this week against threats from outer-worldly nemeses.

Leading the charge is the Brookings Institute, an independent research and policy institution, which reported that alien abductions in 2008 are at an all-time high, up 28% compared to last year, according to their recent study.* Based on their findings, ever-aggressive government officials have decided they will no longer sit idly while Americans are subjected to alien mind control.

To combat this threat, the Bush administration has compiled a website called StopAbductions.gov. The foundation of the organization's policy is to heavily promote the use of Thought Screen Helmets (pictured below), which work to "block telepathic communication between aliens and humans," the site says.


Devon McCarthy, a preliminary tester of the Thought Screen Helmet, had positive things to say about the product. "I have been abducted by aliens for years, but after using my Thought Screen Helmet I have not been bothered by alien mind control. My thoughts are finally my own and my life is better than ever before. Thank you President Bush for the work you are doing to save all humanity."

With warm public reception to the device, the government is looking to distribute them on a wider scale. Distribution centers are now popping up around the country, and entrepreneurs are looking to capitalize on the increasing demand for leather.

*No such study exists.

Nein!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".

BBC Opinion: Is 'U.K.-Centric' the Flavour of the Month?

Austinpowershire, England -- Americans are constantly criticized for living U.S.-centric lifestyles -- making choices and expressing opinions based on the underlying notion that the rest of the world operates like the United States. Lately, this mindset has propagated across the Atlantic, as the English are becoming increasingly U.K.-centric. Evidence of this trend was aired on BBC World News last night:
