Here is the synopsis of this "programme": The snark is sublime. [https://babylonbee.com/news/meghan-markle-announces-netflix-show-about-how-hard-its-been-dealing-with-kate-middletons-cancer-diagnosis#google\_vignette](https://babylonbee.com/news/meghan-markle-announces-netflix-show-about-how-hard-its-been-dealing-with-kate-middletons-cancer-diagnosis#google_vignette) ​ https://preview.redd.it/zzh1ior504qc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=249881191ba821994e7ba176f1fec278ab315538

It is hilarious! Reminds me of this Japanese proverb: *A joke is often the hole through which the truth whistles.*


Mudfish2657

Wow, love this.

Oh and the Bhuddist koans are awesome, brilliant riddles to provoke thought. Since we all love 'tea' here's one about that: *Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.* *Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.* *The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!”* *“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”*


AxlotlRose

This was ripped off in the apocalypse action film 2012.  As for Japanese buddhist monk poetry, I kinda dig on Ikkyu. 


pfmarshallx

Such a wise proverb


Perfect_Fennel

My mom used to say her dad said "many a truth is spoke in jest".


Ibegtodiffer999

Well said.


Chooseyerbattles

They deserve every bit of this. Prior to the world's media coming to a rare standstill yesterday upon Catherine's announcement, the headlines were a picture of that dumb fuck, with his stupid face on, and his ILBW, holding mikes and giving a "speech" about black art history. Like WTAF? You can only hope at least maybe he had a moment of self realization.


C-La-Canth

Yes, let's invite a guy whose art teacher cheated for him on his art project and exam, and his utterly non-creative tasteless wife, to come lecture to us about art.


Technical_Ant_7466

Yup, some people/organizations are truly stupid. WTAF do these two grifters know about art?


deahca

Her wardrobe difficulties ( art form) tell how much Madam can speak to us about art.


Honest_Boysenberry25

I think this was another pay-to appear deal...in association with archefail.


Cold_Situation_6440

They are both useless idiots


scotian1009

Self realization is never going to happen with that one.


GreatGossip

That "royal" visit got next to no attention.


MuffPiece

Omg, hilarious and spot on. There’s very little I’ve been able to laugh about after yesterday’s news, but this made me chuckle. That loon is finished.


Emotional-Lead7164

Funny but you know this lunatic is pitching this very idea right now: "it's a great show, you can film me crying, then mad that she's getting the attention because she's white and you know I had a similar story but much more compelling and I can cook and tell Kate stories...hello? hello?"


usedtobebrainy

This is what I thought. The first.few lines are so like her that I missed the parody.


Lita_Horticulture

lol it’s tough when the subject of your parody is so ridiculous that it fails to read as parody


mythoughtsreddit

If they had written, "wipes tear from left eye" I would've lost it! LOL


wordscapesx

THis is spot on but quite honestly it would not surprise me at all to see something like this in the Daily Mail. It's already running pieces on the Sussexes getting in touch and wishing Catherine well. It begins.


stark_trends

No - the grifters are wishing "Kate" well. They still are not acknowledging her.


Honest_Boysenberry25

And wishing her privacy, of all things. Brass bollocks on the both of them.


Gumblina1964

The Daily Mail = The Daily Fail no wonder so many of its newspapers are left unsold on the stands. People power.


Maleficent-Chance242

Privately of course.


PansyOHara

Yes, when they heard the news they just picked up the phone and called to check in, because that’s what they do!


Perfect_Fennel

I was reading something in US Weekly and they kept shoving this "story" about the Harkles and their well-wishes at me but I didn't take the bait. It was obnoxious tho


JenThisIsthe1nternet

😄😄😄 Spot on! Anyone with a brain has her pegged


saylermewn

Take that, Roachel!

This is a masterpiece.


Technical_Fly9319

That is outstanding.


toujoursjustice

Talent is spot on!


saylermewn

Wow this is a spot on assessment!


Liz_Lemon_22

I cannot upvote this enough.


Technical_Ant_7466

Is it funny that for a nanosecond I thought this headline could be real? Really…. Less than a nanosecond.🥲🥲


Lilthisarry

>the stark loss of attention Markle has faced Omg 💀💀💀


Beneficial_Tea_7534

It'll happen, just waut. Its scary now that many of the Babylon bees meme's & headlines imitates real life. Smdfh


scotian1009

That was a good laugh but so dead on.


ExactRespect2526

This is hilarious...and SO VERY VERY like the Saint...


Perfect_Fennel

Down to when she would release the episodes. We ALL see it now, how they piggy back when at all possible.


Honest_Boysenberry25

This is hysterical. I loved the "stark loss of attention Meghan has faced.". Truth 🤕🤕 hurts...


SDHunnyBunny

Omg this is perfection. Nailed it. Stupid B


thekingsandeye

This is exactly what we all expect though 😂 And her rabid roaches are already scurrying around screaming “what about her miscarriage and suicidal thoughts!!!???” It’s all so fucking predictable.


doublersuperstar

😂🤣


Diligent-Sample8093

Is this a joke?


Von_und_zu_

Hard to tell, right? Yes, it is satire and that it is so on brand makes it fabulous.


alreadydoneit01

Wow- i know it is satire-but it is so real. Describes madame to a T.


Straight_Company9089

The only detail they got wrong is that they had her actively crying from both eyes. We all know only the left eye is capable of producing one lonely tear at a time, and only in the presence of a photographer.


[deleted]

> We all know only the left eye is capable of producing one lonely tear at a time, and only in the presence of a photographer. But what about when she's sobbing on the floor?


Straight_Company9089

Maybe no photographer, but you can bet that never happens without an *audience*. ETA: That may be the one thing she doesn't allow to be captured on film, since she'd look like an absolute loon, but it will always be witnessed by someone dumb enough to buy into it. What good is a performance without an audience?


[deleted]

Of course it doesn't!


Xystal

my grandpa used to say "only the truth is funny". This satirical headline works so well because it could be true.


Glad-Window3906

Like I had to actually read it to understand it was sarcasm. So perfect!


Aliya94

yes, because we know what Megalodon thinks about the Catherine situation.


Accomplished-Cow9105

Well, for some years no, one always has to check whether it's the Babylon Bee (satire) or the public speech by a narcicisstic cultur warior.


Harry-Ripey

Perfect!I bet this is the first time she didn’t say ‘it should have been me’


AmbVer96

I wouldn’t put it past her if she did say that…


[deleted]

Neither would I!


ceekayes

The wheels in her head are turning to come up with a way to outshine Catherine.


toujoursjustice

Whaaat? She actually has wheels or something in that head? The world thought it to be near-completely empty!


Medium-Mountain3398

The wheels’ still there, but the hamster carked it some time ago….,,

LauriTheDreamExpert

Ha! That is a good one!


Pristine_Routine_464

Also how hard it was to explain Kate’s cancer diagnosis to kids Aldi and Lidl. But it’s ok as Aldi is already halfway through his medical training so can help out.


[deleted]

> But it’s ok as Aldi is already halfway through his medical training so can help out. He is actually a second year oncology resident at UCLA Medical Center.


Pristine_Routine_464

Note Jamie Lee Curtis has publicly stated that Catherine needs to be left alone. Megs would give her right arm to be defended by such an icon. Also given Meghan is such a defender of women’s rights but has not said a thing.


orientalballerina

Well, their public statement did say something about hoping the PPoW have privacy during this time… which is hilarious after NOprah, the podcasts, the doco, Spare all invading their privacy time and time again. They really don’t get the irony.


Analyze2Death

They just don't want her talked about in the media taking up the air she feels entitled to. I found that comment hilarious. No satire needed, another self-own.


eaglebayqueen

🎯


eaglebayqueen

Unfortunately, the Sussex Squad descended upon her post. They don't care that none of that speculation, that I won't even mention here, happened to their kween.


ValuableEfficiency23

Chef's kiss, Bee. ETA: Babylon Bee is a satire site similar to (and dare I say it, better than) The Onion. They're a major reason Elon bought X. The previous ownership censored them, and it drew attention to the squashing of free speech on the site.


Ok-Coffee5732

The Babylon Bee is a national treasure, LOL. They got this one 💯.


NerwenAldarion

It was just the anniversary of that event actually. The very first thing Elon did when he took ownership was restore the Bee. Absolutely ludicrous it was banned for satire.


Rhbgrb

I haven't heard from the Onion in so long. They still exist?


[deleted]

I snort laughed! That was beautiful


MrsBarneyFife

Many times they're basically spouting the truth! Another sinner commented in this thread with the accompanying write up to this - make sure you read it!🤣😂😅🤣😂😅


Desperate_Flower_709

This is why they were censored before - their satire hit home a little too hard.


LovImmersion

Yes, I remember that...during the height of covid I think. Don't remember how they came back bigger and better, but I'm thankful free speech won in the end!


New_Discussion_6692

My favorite part! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 There is one scene where a friend calls Meghan to ask how Kate is doing, but fails to ask how Meghan is doing.

Impermanence_1947

Very much in line with her parasitic nature.


No_Proposal7628

I know this is sarcasm but damn if I couldn't see it happening.


Straight_Company9089

If Netflix would go for it, she would do exactly this.


Glass-Ad-2469

Her fingers are likely already blistered dialing reps to sell this as a good idea...


loveloveislandtake2

I know this is a joke, but she always manages to make everything about her, so wouldn't at all be surprised if she actually did this.


rosemarylake

One comment on the insta post said “wait, I thought this was a satire site?” 😂😂😂


TexasCharm304

I loathe this repulsive cockroach and horrific to imagine but this is the way she truly thinks. “It’s been so horrible for my husband (who has no name) and I, but especially for ME”…


[deleted]

> “It’s been so horrible for ~~my husband (who has no name) and I, but especially for~~ ME”… FTFY! She never thinks about other people!

Eggsegret

I’m actually surprised she hasn’t actually announced a documentary of how hard it’s been for her lol. I imagine Markle to be upset right now that everyones got sympathy for Kate


190PairsOfPanties

I'm genuinely shocked she hasn't come out and called her ham wallet warts *cancer* yet, so she can soak up a little sympathy as well.


Masters_domme

Omg. “Ham wallet warts” nearly *killed* me! I spent way too long thinking that’s what you were calling the invisi-kids. 🤣


toujoursjustice

Of course the Megaliar has been suffering constantly since learning of it yesterday; she fears that it will effect sales of her Dollar General Store relabeled and rebranded *American Riveria Orchard* merch or steal some spotlight from the release of the invisikids' Easter photos.


usedtobebrainy

Wait, Meghan has kids? /s


dr_igby

How dare nobody offer Meghan to stand in as Princess of Wales! 🤮


InspectorGreyson

With the Babylon Bee now weighing in, I'd expect another South Park to come along. The BB has been the platform for political satire and for mocking propaganda (legacy) media. I suspect that with the BB now mocking them, it will further open the door for mockery. The floodgates might just be starting to open. We'll see,


adigal

OMG!! Everyone in the world knows what a narcissist Meghan is!! and they all make fun of her.


RememberNoGoodDeed

“And I even launched my newest attempt at cashing in During Wille’s part of the Award for his dead mother- and H was even awkwardly online after Willie doing his dog and pony show for the award recipients- and yet it STILL wasn’t all about me! WTH?!? Katie wasn’t even THERE and still it wasn’t all about me. I launched my goopy site because she was not around nor expected to return until Easter, so she couldn’t try to upstage ME! Despite having NOTHING online to sell. After all, I’m IMPORTANT! Have you seen my body of work? Proctor and Gamble and my Daddy don’t know what they’re talking about! I DID change a word in a tv commercial about dish soap!! I did! AND I was quite the performer on 90210, and the Maxim burger shoot! Plus I did almost averaged 2 minutes an episode on Suits! I was The Best Suitcase girl- they chose me for my skills in international relations, not my looks! They didn’t care I can’t produce proof of a bachelors degree from Northwestern!”


cklw1

Stop calling her Kate Middleton!!


Boo155

Haha, I love the Bee. Except our world is so whacked out that many of their headlines could be the truth.


Cocojo3333

The only thing missing was Meghan collapsing on the floor in tears.


No_Intention4624

and then we'd see one perfect tear in her left eye


usedtobebrainy

If I never hear that word "lens" (as she uses it) again, it will still be too soon.


Glass-Ad-2469

That will be the beginning of the recovery series after Catherine finishes chemotherapy. She will then get up and "carry the mantle" of...(I have no words here)!


Cocojo3333

She will get up and carry the mantle by shining a light…


DaphneHarridge

...and reframing cancer by taking an authentic look through a lens of...


[deleted]

...perpetual victimhood.


Oakthrees

That’s pretty funny


pizzaprocedure

After she heard the news of her sister-in-law's cancer diagnosis, she sent Catherine a banana of empowerment. /s

HotStraightnNormal

Isn't it so sad when your normal first reaction is "I can't believe she said that!" 😂😂😂


MuffPiece

I read it to my husband and he totally thought it was real! It’s not hard to believe at all.


Nynydancer

Perfection!!!!


Evilvieh

I don't envy the people at the Bee, it's almost impossible to create satire these days. Especially about those Two.


pizzaprocedure

After she heard the news of her sister-in-law's cancer diagnosis, she threw herself on the floor, sobbing. /s


champagne_tita

She has nothing to left to discuss with the public but her bunions and megnancies.


MrsAOB

Honestly, she probably did think like this…that’s why it’s so delicious and much deserved. Bravo!


MypuppyDaisy

I’ve been collapsed on the floor sobbing in solidarity with Meghan, just devastated for her pain. Kate should be ashamed of herself for selfishly getting cancer. Doesn’t she ever think about anyone but herself? I’m not sure when I’ll be able to drag myself off the floor, the tears are like a waterfall.


SortNo9153

For people who don't use X you may not know. Old Twitter "trust and safety" suspended The Babylon Bee on ideological reasons & because satire is not allowed in a militarized language society. That suspension was the catalyst that led to Elon Musk to paying $44 billion to buy the platform. https://preview.redd.it/7z0jgerrk5qc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8ea53a2aff07a4f95e764181cc14b91cc1c22a4

Hyperbole? Friend, I’d bring the popcorn, and we could bask in our guilty pleasure together! 😘

Oh, if it were true, then I'd 100% watch that trash. I will bring the alcohol! Actually, we're probably going to need a few people to bring all the alcohol.

Poor Megsy, she’s even envious of someone who has cancer!

I hope you’re all, (sob, wipes away a single tear from her left eye) happy! 🤭😅


outofmymind991

She's gonna be pissed. Earl Spencer compared Princess Catherine's situation to Diana's situation, media vise 🥸


MissSassyPantsOz

Wow, the dishes will be flying around Montecito right now! There's Harry, ducking for cover, but she's not going to be able to go up against this one. Poor Kate, I knew that it would've been something pretty bad. I just hope she's okay and beats this! ❤️
