Is that a 'Spoof!' in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Due to an international incident that erupted during a cross-cultural exchange between the British Royal Family and the Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg, 'Spoof!' Headquarters has announced that there will be a name change effective Monday, October 8th.

"We really are sorry for this very messy situation," said TheSpoof.com's chief editor, Mark Lowton. Apparently the whole controversy arose when Prince Harry asked Grand Duke Henri if he was a fan of 'Spoof!' -- in Luxembourgish, this is the equivalent of asking someone if they enjoy 'Donkey Dick'.

The new name, 'Spooj!', will take effect at 0800 GMT on Monday. "We settled on the new name because it is far less likely to offend people," continued Mr. Lowton.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
