Magazine Cover Reveals Kate Middleton's 'Bad Teeth': Funny or Out of Line?

I meant in the US...I personally wouldn't care if another country defiled the president (or Bush...to be fair to both sides). I don't see why insulting your own is ok, but insulting an outsider is not...but you may be right. Although, these things aren't sticking points IMO, they will all blow over, and people won't remember them next week.

Golden Globes? I'm out of the loop on most celebrity gossip (and I generally like it that way)....but maybe I just already forgot about it....(which would inadvertently prove my point.....ha, that is kinda funny).

I'm admittedly not a fan of gossip either, but I only remember it because of how much of a big deal it became.

I'm talking about Ricky Gervais, a British comedian hosting the Golden Globes. He made jokes about celebrities, and anarchy came as a consequence of it. There were only a few (Brad Pitt, Neeson and DeNiro) I think, who took it on the chin. Their fans and viewers were the ones who were incensed by it and there was even more complaints when he said he was going to host next years : P

Hmm...no I didn't hear about that. Good for him, they are just people....I don't get the fan thing anyway. Celebrity culture is annoying IMO.

Why would that ever be funny? Not on anyone!

First of all in this day and age the majority of children growing up get braces and take care of their teeth. There isn't any reason to have bad teeth. If she straightened or whitened her teeth then she is no different than 90% of the people I know in America. So what. One of my sons needed braces, the other didn't. Now they both have beautiful teeth. Does it really matter? Sheesh. This wasn't necessary at all. They can't find anything wrong with the girl so they are making something up.

And I don't think those are her teeth.

I'll bet the teeth they used to photoshop into Kate's mouth came from the person with the highest rank at that so called rag they call "The New Republic" magazine. They're just jealous because she can afford a perfect set of teeth, and theirs are all rotten and chipped.

Maybe I would think differently if it was actually funny or clever, as you call it. It's not clever-- and it reminds me of idiots drawing offensive, stupid pictures of the people they don't like and passing them around classrooms for comfort.

Kate is the perfect representation of class. To try to portray her as anything different is just stupid. The decaying flag would have sufficed as the world knows Britain is suffering far more under the pressure of poorly controlled immigration then anything else.

America is next. And then us over here in Australia.

The royals are born into a job and Kate naturally has taken on a lot to become one of them. Picking on royalty is not fair because they do not run for office they do the job of good will ambassadors and the Brits are lucky to have them take the limelight off grandstanding politicians. It is fair game to make fun and laugh with them but it is not the right venue in The New Republic.

L. O. L! Both, ha.

the media sucks...

Another magazine trying to get popular by spreading gossip... It's sad really

Would you like that done to your photo without permission? Didn't think so. Do unto others.

I probably wouldn't mind actually.

You're tougher than me then.lol I could cope with it, but I admit I would mind. But I'd also find it slightly funny at the same time.

I have been told I'm pretty confident though I never notice how.

That's good. If you can take a joke about you, then that's a sign of confidence.

ignorant.

Not even The Doctor can find this amusing. Maybe he's scared of the Prince and the wolf gene...

Not funny.
But what really makes me angry is the way some Brits responded. I read the article on YahooNews.
A Mirror reader wrote: "Now how would Americans like it if our political magazines featured obese burger-munching Americans on its front cover? They'd be the first to complain."
Ugh.

They said that because they knew it was a generalizing stereotype and didn't apply to everyone in America, just like the teeth thing does not apply to everyone in Britain.

I understand that, but I have never once heard of an American outright refer to a Brit as having poor teeth. Everytime that stupid generalization has been brought to my attention, it's been through the Internet or other media. But obesity is a REAL problem, and it's not to be made fun of. I lost a friend due to congestive heart failure. They are comparing a stupid teeth joke to a nation-wide epidemic? One third of Americans are obese! This is a real problem, not a half-thought joke.

That is true, but no matter whether it is a feeble insult about dental hygiene or the country's health, it is immensely insulting. I've been called a nazi seven times after I told people where I was from, but nobody seems to find that as bad as calling people fat.

They were saying that they would never poke fun of a country in such a degrading way, even though this newspaper was clearly happy to.

I don't know, maybe I understood it differently, that's just how I see it. And as someone who travels to England almost every fortnight, plenty of them are straight out insulted about their teeth by Americans and others.

Magazines theses days

I don't understand why magazines continuously try to start rumours.

WHO REALLY CARES ? so the woman's teeth aren't straight ; neither are mine . a woman's nipple accidentally pops out , I've seen them before ; WHAT IS THE B F D .

Boo!!!!!

Her teeth are fine that picture was photoshopped for a sensation.

British joke lol. It's funny.

Dude - they're just teeth.

I hate the idea of royalty, but I hate stereotypes even more. I would say this picture is disrespectful to Britain in general.

its pretty tacky to do that to anybody, much less royalty, and much less such a sweet girl--she doesnt deserve that.

Was this suppose to be funny? I don't find it so.

Fake BS
