OMG!!! Is that a real (ie. non-photoshop) image?! It is truely frightening...way to Grinch-esque. Someone needs to have a sit-down with the Pope and tell him to never do that again....ugh!
Well, I wouldn't want someone to take pictures of me coming out of the shower (though I think my visage would tend towards Sloth rather than Avarice at that point.) Still -- not the best PR photo of all time. "Feel the power of the Dark Side!" It's OK, folks -- later on this season, his heart will grow 3 sizes.
Damn, someone beat me to it... [Broken External Image]:http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/tourniai/kra/ratzinger-palpatine.jpg
Didn't anyone tell the Pope that Santa is a direct manifestation of the systematic removal of religion from the Christmas holiday? Quick, get Bill O'Reilly on the phone!! Dan
