Newsweek's Zombie Royals Cover

It’s allowable that professional journalists would’ve done some sort of story to acknowledge that Princess Diana would’ve turned 50 this week, particularly in light of her oldest son’s wedding earlier this year and the renewed affection for the British monarchy that it brought about.

It’s impossible to believe that professional journalists thought it was a good idea to photoshop a picture of Diana and Kate Middleton, the late princess’s daughter-in-law, as if they were actually together in life. It’s just as gross for a national newsmagazine to publish a story speculating what Diana would be like today, including a graphic of her fake Facebook page.

What the hell was Newsweek thinking? This belongs in the Onion, or the National Enquirer, not an allegedly serious weekly newsmagazine.


And I'm sure Diana's family isn't at all hurt or traumatized by this. Geez...
