Prince Charles Declares War on McDonalds
Prince Chuckles of Wales — who appears to have an eccentric opinion on most every topic — announced at the launch of a public health awareness campaign in Abu Dhabi that the key to healthy eating is to ban McDonalds.
Cul-de-sacs have also incurred the Prince's disapproval: he blames them for crime, car dependence, and obesity, finding that they are not in harmony with a "low carbon lifestyle."
Prince Chas. has also raised eyebrows by denouncing the "monstrous carbuncles" of modern architecture. Few are aware that he was actually referring to Camilla's bosom.
On a tip from V the K.

And some people say the royal houses are Europe aren't that inbred.
Hah! Chuck Battenburg makes the Hapsburg lip and hemophilia look desirable. But for the monarchy, he'd be mowing lawns for a living.
Thanks, George Washington! We owe you a big one.

Has this man done anything useful in his entire life? At least Princess Diana involved herself in truly useful charitable endeavors, and was glamorous to boot. If the Brits want to keep their royal family, I have no problem with it...but pass over this loser and give the throne to Prince William when the time comes.

anybody got a calorie count for the average serving of "Fish and Chips"...I'm to fat and lazy too look it up. Not to mention in the midst of a major sugar buz crash from this morning's donuttin binge.

Forget fish and chips, Prince Chucklehead markets a food product that is higher in fat and calories than a Big Mac.

Just think, if King Edward VIII hadn't given up the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, a whole different group would be on the throne now.
My Americanism rebels at the idea that he did that, but British sensitivities were different.
I wonder how the British feel about that. Do they wish it had been different? Or even think about that?

No, we don't wish it had been different. Edward was a nazi sympathiser. Worse, he married a catholic!
Please note, this last part was a joke...
But in all seriousness, Queen Elizabeth has been a model head of state. I agree with Pam; let William have the throne. Charles can go back to pottering around his "farm" and talk to the wheat for all I care.

I agree with Prince Charles about both issues, fast food and Cul-de-sacs.
However, his moronic statement calling for a ban of fast food makes me very happy that the British monarchy is limited to the status of a figurehead.

"A public health awareness campaign in Abu Dubai?"
Uh, does that address suicide bombing and the eating of goat entrails? Toilet paper awareness week and Deodorant day? Body lice and syphilis contracted from camels?
