The news that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have split has been met with much mirth on the internet - not so much as for the (sad) fact of their parting, as for the manner in which it was announced.
Let's face it, if you decide to call your separation a 'conscious upcoupling' and accompany the announcement with a 2,000-word essay about insects, you're in for a kicking from Twitter.
And a kicking has been duly adminstered, with much of this morning's japes speculating on the breakfast Chris Martin may have enjoyed this morning…
