In honor of what would have been Princess Diana’s 50th birthday, Newsweek photoshopped her old and put her on their cover next to Kate Middleton to accompany an article about what her life might be like now, had she not tragically died. Yay, congratulations, happy birthday! Obviously that is a very normal and not tasteless way to honor someone who has died. Another normal and not tasteless way is to caption them with what you think they’d be thinking! So, great! Let’s do it!
Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball.

Wrong Diana, Newsweek. We know what 50-year-old Diana is America’s REAL princess.
Not to quibble, but I was alive during the 80′s, and her character’s name wasn’t “DIANA,” at all!!
It was “DIANE Huxtable.”
I remember when they covered Gabe Delahaye’s Life at 50. It was pretty similar, but the headline at the bottom read “Revolt Of The Roosevelt Fan Club.”
Kelly breaks Videogum.
More like Newsweak AmIRite?
Oh shit. Yo candle’s burnt, Newsweek!
The creepiest part is the knowing look in Diana’s eyes. She knows what’s coming for Kate.
(It’s a lifetime of happiness and an appropriate but not overbearing amount of attention. Why do dead people have to be so ominous about everything?)

Godsauce makes most hilarious joke ever. Ghost of Princess Di eats it.
“No one believes you’re real, but I believe, Diana. I believe!” – Kate

“Life of a coldblooded carpetbagger”
Newsweek Exec 1: Well, we’ve got this picture of Kate Middleton looking to her right, but it’s not really that interesting…
Newsweek Exec 2: *sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifffffffff* Fuck yeah. That’s the stuff. Wait, did you say looking to her right?
Newsweek Exec 1: Yeah.
Newsweek Exec 2 (rubbing his index finger on his gums): Wait. Isn’t it Diana’s birthday coming up? Cause I just had a motherfucking brainstorm!
*He slams his fist on the table, disturbing the comically large pile of cocaine*
FIN
Princess Diana – caught dead wearing last year’s couture.
OK Kelly, this one’s the winner.
“If you choose to face the Queen, you will do it alone. I cannot interfere.”
The fact that she’s wearing the Death Star for a hat really takes this comment to the next level.
haha ha rad, “use the force” mofo

LAWNMOWER MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at that thin, ragged shell of something once so respected. Oh, sorry. I was talking about the state of the print magazine.
That picture is actually of her little-known twin sister, Princess Liv.
Wow. Just… wow. This is incredible.
agreed, rad comment, “facial taco” person
Wait a minute Kelly, maybe this one should win.
Oh crap, I just evil-laughed on this one. Total Auric Goldfinger moment. Thanks. It’s liberating.
Sidney Harmon gets his dollar’s worth in shame.
No one got my joke about Sidney Harmon.

Wow, Tina Brown’s made quite the sudden power play for the coveted “Shortest Lasting Deathbed Reincarnation of Newsweek” award.
The winner gets a lifetime subscription to Time.
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die and have magazine covers tastelessly recreate what you would have looked like if you hadn’t died.
What is even happening here? Why are there two identical posts with merged comments?! You see what happens when you fuck around with bringing back the dead, Newsweek? You Butterfly Effected Videogum!
“Sorry Kate, but in opposite world you are the one that is dead. Oh, and I guess that means I am a poor commoner? But I guess I still dress like a princess? Yeah, that math checks out.”
What Newsweek failed to anticipate was that the reanimated Princess of Wales would have a voracious appetite for Videogum’s blog comments.
nom nom nom
Diana: “Brains”
Kate: “They’re coming to get you, Barbara!”
This zombie craze has gone too far!
Zombies have been big since the resurrection of Christ.
“That’s funny, Diana. I thought you wouldn’t be caught dead in that hat.”
“That’s funny, Kate. By the way. I ghost pissed in your eggs this morning.”
Something tells me that Diana would have managed to NOT turn into the Crypt Keeper by 50. Give her some credit, Newsweek!
I was thinking the crazy preacher from Polterguist 2.
“I wasn’t really dead you know. I was just away on important vampire business.”
This is awesome.
M. Night Shyamalan has an orgasm.

This is almost as tasteless as the “Henri Paul at 50″ cover on last month’s Car and Driver.
Tina Brown: Probably an Asshole
Seeing this cover would lead you to believe that Princess Diana and Newsweek have something in common, they are both PERIODICALly dead.
(fondue cheddar flips into pool to drown)
Don’t forget to take off your bluetooth headset first.
All jokes aside, how great would it be if only Kate could see the ghost and they united forces to travel the world solving mysteries? #hollywoodpostit
How is this not psycho? Cute hats, btw.
Could be worse.
This isn’t internet enough.
If I know the Internet, and I know the Internet, the Internet will never be able to say that anything is sufficiently “Internet enough.”
like brains, this is pretty tasteless.
Also like brains, you should never admit to anybody that this turns you on.
facetaco! You’re just killing it! Killing it! Like paparazzi chasing after a princess!
“Kate!” the ghost of Diana screamed, “the calls are coming from inside the hat!” But it was too late.
newsweek obviously knows how to keep the magazine industry going strong
“I just have to blend in with the zombies until I reach the escape truck. So….close…..” – Kate Middleton
Weekend at Diana’s: 50th Anniversary Edition
Godsauce is gonna barf cocaine if he doesn’t get the most upvotes!
Next issue: JonBenet’s Prom!
I want to give you all the upvotes for this!
I just like how the wacky hat shapes seem to play off of one another, as if they were on a team in “Legends of the Hidden Temple” where phantom Di had to collect fruit on her bonnet-platter and transfer it into Kate’s head-basket on the other side of the ancient ruins- (without either of them being able to use their hands, of course). Here they are, feeling such a smug thrill that they’ve forgotten to return the game pieces.
But really- have some class, magazine. This was Newsweak. (yipe).
Dear William,
Congratulations on your marriage! The ceremony was beautiful, and we hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon!
Love,
Newsweek
PS- Just wanted to remind you your mom’s dead!
Exactly!!! So tasteless! So NEEDLESS! This would SO make me angry if I really cared about Newsweek.
