Spanish Cartoonists Fined For Drawing Prince Felipe’s Crown Jewels

Guillermo Torres and Manel Fontdevila, two Spanish cartoonists for the satirical magazine El Jueves, have been fined 3,000 euros each for offending the Spanish royal family with one of their cartoons. The comic in question, which ran on the paper’s front page, featured (smoking hot) Prince Felipe and his (somewhat cute, sure, but we’d make a better match) wife Letizia in a compromising position:

A judge said that El Jueves’ Guillermo Torres and Manel Fontdevila “had vilified the crown in the most gratuitous and unnecessary way”.

Torres had drawn the cartoon and Fontdevila, the paper’s cartoons editor, wrote the caption.

“Do you realise,” says the crown prince in the cartoon, “if you get pregnant this will be the closest thing I’ve done to work in my whole life.”

That’s it? That’s not so bad, really. Sounds like someone just needs to get laid.
