More Popish stuff

Guys 'n Gals, have you seen it and would you believe it!?

2.4 Million "pilgrims" at the pope's funeral in Rome (almost more than the city has inhabitants) - and about that number times 100 of crocodile tears flowing on large-scale TV screens. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes when I saw that on TV - and it was hard NOT to see it, as every bloody station seemed to be intent on covering even the most boring aspect of this (already boring) event.

I mean, get real! There were people crying on TV who I would bet my whole fucking annual salary on didn't ever before visit a church in their entire lives.

Why do these morons cry!? Really, why? I mean, it can hardly be for a figure they only ever saw on TV or in a paper (if they can read at all...) It wasn't like it was their dad, their mum or one of their siblings died, it was the fucking pope, for most of them thousands of miles away, never seen him before, never talked to him, never touched him, never got fucked by him! Was it an oh so touchy ceremony? Hardly! A bunch of sick old men singing his praise in a language that took me six years to learn and that I don't use anymore, just because nobody else does! And that embalmed body on the podium can also only have been more gruesome than touching. Why not just give the guy a rest, put him in the usual box without a lot of trouble and elect the next one?

Move on, world, he's gone! Most famous people who die don't even make it through two days of media presence, let alone three!

Fucking hypocrites! If there's a hell, I hope to meet them there again!
