A short list of princes who may be better matches for Kate Middleton

I might've been more invested in the Royal Wedding if Prince William weren't such a goober. He just looks super dull and dorky. Prince Harry is the only member of the Windsor family whose nuptials I'd be even remotely interested in watching--what with his devil-may-care attitude and ginger balls. Anyway, I feel that Kate Middleton is on the verge of making a tremendous mistake. Fortunately, the wedding hasn't happened yet, so it's not too late for her to back out of this whole thing and run off with someone who has a little more joie de vivre.


I'm assuming, at this point, she has her heart set on marrying a prince. So, I've compiled a list of 10 other princely fellows for Kate's consideration--noting the pros and cons of each and rating them on the Disney Prince Scale (naturally).

Even the lamest of the princes listed below is infinitely fresher than William.

Prince Albert

Background Info: Born in 1840; studied law and philosophy at the University of Bonn; was instrumental in the organization of the Great Exhibition of 1851 (which I wrote a report on in the 9th grade); aided in the development of Britain's constitutional monarchy. Oh, and the tip of his dong was pierced.


Pros

• His dong piercing

Cons

• His dong piercing
• The fact that he's dead
• But even before he died, he was married to his first cousin, which isn't incredibly sexy.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Background Info: In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where he spent most of his days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, and all shooting some b-ball outside of school. When a couple of guys, who were up to no good, starting making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in one little fight and his mom got scared and said, "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." He whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything, he could say that this cab was rare, but he thought, nah, forget, "Yo, homes, to Bel-Air." He pulled up to the house about seven or eight, and he yelled to the cabby, "Yo, homes, smell you later!" Looked at his kingdom, he was finally there, to sit on his thrown as the prince of Bel-Air.

Pros

• Will make sure haters mind their business, that's all, just mind their business
•  Get all the privileges of being a member of the upper-class without having to be a slave to decorum--the two of you will "keep it real" by doing things like wearing your blazers inside out and using slang

Cons

• DJ Jazzy Jeff

(obviously)

The Prince of Persia

Background Info: Some kind of prince of Persia, I don't know; has a British accent for no reason at all.

Pros

• Nice abs
• Muscular boobs
• Has a couple of really sick swords

Cons

• If it's windy, his "sands of time" will fly into your eyes
• Can run up walls, which seems like a "pro" but it's actually a totally useless talent and therefore a "con". It's like, "whoa, you just ran up a wall, but do you have health insurance and will I be covered under your plan? How high are the co-pays?"

Prince

Background Info: Tiny man from Minneapolis; once changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol; parties like it's 1999; may or may not have had intercourse with a little red corvette.


Pros

• He wants to be your lover. He wants to be the only one who makes you come running. He wants to turn you on, turn you out, all night long, make you shout.

Cons

• He wants to be your brother. And if that weren't bad enough, he also wants to be your mother and your sister too.

The Half-Blood Prince

Background Info: Sort of goth; awesome at potions.

Pros

• Knows magic
• Huge dong (probably)
• Looks like Alan Rickman
• Has Sexy Alan Rickman voice

Cons

• Muggle father
• Have to live on a teacher's salary
• Will probably kill any hoary old bearded mentors that you have
• Shops at Hot Topic

The Prince of Darkness

Background Info: Embodiment of evil.

Pros

• Good dancer
• Cute
• According to Shakespeare's King Lear, "the prince of darkness is a gentleman."

Martin Prince

Pros

Prince Adam of Eternia

Background Info: Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to him the day he held aloft his magic sword and said, "by the power of Grayskull, I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRR!" 

Pros

• Most powerful man in the universe
• Get to have She-ra as a sister-in-law

Cons

The Prince of the Prince and the Pauper

Background Info: Looks like a poor guy but isn't.

Pros

• Isn't pretentious or arrogant--willing to switch clothes with a hobo

Cons

• Why does he look like this Pauper fellow? If I learned anything from Sister, Sister, it's that identical strangers are twins separated at birth. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg as far as his weird family secrets go.

Prince Tennis Balls

Background Info: 6.7cm in diameter; covered in fluorescent yellow felt.

Pros

• Aerodynamic

• Your kids will be part vulcanized rubber, which should qualify them for certain college scholarships
