Beckham drama really punching considering rest of news cycle

BROOKLYN Beckham’s Instagram story is grabbing much more attention than it deserves when the ongoing collapse of the world is taken into account. 

While Trump prepares to end the NATO alliance, Europe re-arms and the global economy teeters on the edge of depression, claims that Victoria Beckham lap-danced her own son at his wedding are dominating headlines regardless.

Hannah Tomlinson of Stevenage said: “I’d understand the coverage if the story broke in, say, 2006, when f**k all was happening and the Beckhams were culturally relevant.

“But two decades later? When the world order’s going through its biggest upheaval since 1945? Were newspapers dedicating front pages to behind-scenes drama at Max Miller’s variety show when tanks rolled into Poland?”

Tom Booker of Hythe said: “Kudos to Brooklyn Beckham’s PR team. They knew we needed this.

“The tawdry details of his statement are all everyone’s talking about, apart from the confusing bit about him signing over rights to his name which we’ve all agreed to ignore. Such a welcome distraction from the total collapse of Western hegemony.

“And to think, we’d written him off as a talentless nepo baby with nothing to contribute to society. How wrong we were.”

Air Force One turns back after mid-air bowel explosion

AIR Force One has been forced to return to the US after a mid-air bowel explosion briefly blacked out the windows. 

The detonation, which occurred in the front of the plane where the POTUS and his staff sit, was apparently catastrophic enough to make the craft turn back mid-Atlantic for industrial cleaning by soldiers in Hazmat suits.

Journalist Ryan Whittaker, who was on the press section of Air Force One, said: “It happened without warning. A deafening wet splat and the windows in front of us were opaque with a dark, semi-viscous substance.

“It took a moment to work out it was ordure. The stench hit us first. Oxygen masks dropped. The woman next to me, from CNN, almost lost consciousness before I fumbled hers on.

“The electrics kept coming on and off because liquid faeces had got into the system and I’m told we dropped almost 10,000ft because the pilot was effectively blind.

“The journey back was hell. The odour was burning my skin. All I could hear up front were screams of ‘it got in my mouth’ from Marco Rubio, and a soft, blustering voice telling him he ‘should be honoured’.

“We landed and were ushered onto a new aircraft. All I know is that, as sure as there’s currently a Secret Service gun held to my head, it was nothing to do with President Trump.”
