NYT: Prince's Nazi Costume Provokes an Uproar

Brothers and Sisters of Great Britain!

Warmest greetings from America. I would have hoped to find you well in the new year; alas, I see it is not so. It appears one of the high members of your aristocracy has decided that Nazi regalia is a fun thing to wear at parties. I am so sorry. As you know, most of our American politicians are, in fact, racist imperialists, but even they would not wear the Nazi swastika (or at least would not allow themselves to be photographed while wearing it). And the Nazis didn't even bomb the hell out of our largest city.

My friends, I know America is the last country in the world that should give advice to other peoples. But, honestly, your country is probably the second-to-last. So let us put aside the strictures of etiquette in the spirit of international brotherhood. People of Britain, the time is long past to execute your royal family.

I know this may appear extreme at first glance, but surely you see that the situation has become intolerable? You have an inbred claque of fools placed in permanence at the very pinnacle of your society. It's true that fools run the United States too, but they are less inbred (probably), and we get to switch them around every now and again. It's not great, but I wouldn't trade with you guys.

Perhaps you are afraid of the reaction. First let me assure you that millions, even billions, worldwide would consider the liquidation of your royals to be an eminently natural act. And even those who were initially shocked would get over it in time. Every nation with a king has killed him once or twice. You yourselves did so some 350 years ago, although you made the mistake of letting another one sneak in. Furthermore, with such inventions as video games and the Internet, no one is likely to get too worked up about a mere regicide.

I look forward to the day when the impure blood of your nobility waters your fields.

Best trans-Atlantic regards,
