Anti-Monarchy Merry Men Arrested, Committee to Convene
On the day of the eleventy-first anniversary of the Kingdom of MuchWowville, a group of audacious anti-monarchy protesters, colloquially known as the “Merry Men,” decided to execute an eccentric parade through the streets to express their disapproval. The aforementioned activity resulted in the arrest of six Merry Men, and to everyone’s surprise, their case will be discussed at the upcoming Committee of Concerned Creatures on Wednesday.
Prince Fetching III – the prince of MuchWowville famous for his flowing locks and irresistible charm – was asked about his stance on the arrest of the Merry Men. He responded in a typically charismatic fashion stating, “Oh, what’s it to me? Let them frolic around in their silly costumes! We’re quite busy organizing the Royal Reptile Beauty Pageant, you see!”
A Brief History of Merry Men
The notorious Merry Men gained popularity by performing absurdly hilarious and highly entertaining skits showcasing their anti-royalty sentiments. They are famous for dressing up as the legendary, imaginary creatures of MuchWowville – Ponosaurus Rex, Fluffyfyre, and Unidogicorn, to name a few. Members of the group, such as Robbin Mybank and Puny Lionheart, are well-known names in contemporary satirical circles.
The Committee of Concerned Creatures
Scheduled for next Wednesday, the Committee of Concerned Creatures’ meeting is expected to raise a ruckus in the town because it typically hears about the various marauding mythical creatures plaguing MuchWowville. Consequently, critics consider the inclusion of the Merry Men on the agenda as an attempt by authorities to belittle their rebellious acts.
When asked about their stance on the Merry Men’s arrest, Ponosaurus Rex and Unidogicorn declined to comment.
In anticipation of the Committee’s verdict, supporters of the Merry Men have launched a social media campaign (hashtag #WeAreMerryMen) to spread awareness about their plight. Meanwhile, the rest of MuchWowville finds solace in their collective amused disdain towards the anti-monarchy group and their whimsical exploits.
The Committee of Concerned Creatures has no obligation to reveal their decision, nor give a reason for their discretion or actions. The judgment, thus, is sure to keep the citizens of MuchWowville and beyond waiting with bated breath, wondering if the Merry Men will continue to bring mirthful mockery to the monarchy.
In an ending note, we would like to mention that the press team confirms no Unidogicorns or Fluffyfyres were disturbed in the process of reporting this news.
