A Royal Visit

The big news in Australia for the past week or so has been the visit from the Royal Family. Being an American I don't give a crap about these things, but this particular visit has been pretty funny.

Mary & Fredrick

See, not only is Prince Charles prancing around the country, but so are the new Prince and Princess of Denmark.

Who cares about the Danish Royal Family, you might ask. Well, nobody actually. Except for the Danish up until a few years ago. But then Prince Frederik came to Australia and happened to meet a smokin-hot Tasmanian girl named Mary. After a year or two of what I can only imagine were some pretty impressive dates they got engaged, and a few months ago they tied the knot.

Now they're cavorting around Australia looking all happy and rich and drop-dead gorgeous. Everywhere they go there are throngs of people waiting to see them and yell nice things at them, and they do cool stuff like race yachts against each other (and Mary kicks Fred's ass). Australians love them:

Prince Charles, soon to marry longtime booty-call Camilla Parker-Bowles, has not been quite so well received. The other day I heard a DJ crack this joke on the radio:

Poor Charles can't buy a break. Every time he steps off a plane or out of a car there are news cameras there and that's about it. The comparison between the two Royal Families has been, shall we say, striking.

And then yesterday Charlie went over to New Zealand to try his luck and was promptly greeted by a young girl with her bazongas out. I'm sure he was thrilled, until he read what was written across her tits:

The topless protester's slogan reads:
'Get your colonist shame off my breasts'.

Why England's colonist shame would be scrawled across this chick's jugs I do not know. But it's clear she wants no part of it, and by extension, no part of Prince Charles.

I look forward to seeing her reaction to Princess Mary, though.
