British Tabloids Not Yet Hounding Travistani Princess

TRAVAMABAD (DPI) - Officials here in this apartment-nation expressed relief and also slight confusion regarding the lack of interest by the British press in the doings of the Crown Princess of this tiny sovereign state. Noting the extended coverage of princes Harry and William and the zany escapades of the Windsor extended family, President Travis was "slightly put down" by the tepid response given to the 3-month-old Presidential Shmookie. "Just yesterday she was flying around the apartment while we were playing 'Superbaby,' and I zoomed her into the front hall and stopped her right in front of the mirror. She looked over at her reflection for a second, and then totally gave herself this huge smile," said Travis. "This is front-page stuff."

Emails to the editorial desks of The Mirror and The Sun have still gone unanswered, according to the Travistani Information Bureau. Without an increase in coverage, said Travis, the government may resort to stories of the extended family. "There was this one time in college where me and a couple of guys dared each other to walk home from the bar with our pants off at, like, 2:30 in the morning," he said. "That was awesome news."
