(Wikipedia says that the above is actually untrue. Yes, I did look up "Jell-o Shot" on Wikipedia.)

The New Adventures of Queen Victoria: Her Majesty on the U.S. Elections

Given the insanity that has been the Republican primaries, I thought this was eminently appropriate. Wouldn't she have been horrified?

The last line is equally applicable to many of the parties involved, I'd say.

The New Adventures of Queen Victoria: Her Majesty on Angry Birds

There's this iPhone game called "Angry Birds" that seems to be all the rage right now. (It doesn't sound that interesting, but then, I've never played it. A lot of games/shows/songs with really inane premises seem to catch on spectacularly regardless.) Anyhow, here's Queen Victoria's (rather humorous) take on it:

I was amused.

Better than corn, eh?

The New Adventures of Queen Victoria: Bunny Hamlet

Hamlet is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, and this is an especially humorous interpretation:

A whole new take on lucky rabbits' feet...

The New Adventures of Queen Victoria

It's a webcomic:

Possibly the most brilliant use of stock art I've seen to date. If anyone knows anything about politics, it's Queen Victoria. I reckon she'd be ashamed of us, if she could see us now.
