Boom / Religion Pope Down

Posted by on Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 9:18 AM

The Pope fell down and broke his wrist! “It’s nothing serious,” says the Vatican. Let's let Slog tipper Jason from Portland say it:

I take no pleasure in the suffering of others.
But maybe I'll make an exception here.

God must have been angry with him, or else He wouldn't have let his happen.

When an old man falls and receives a painful injury, that's tragedy.

But what if I told you it was the POPE?!

Comedy GOLD. Heeee-LARious!
Am I right?

It would have been funnier if it was Sotomayor or Sanford.

I hope the doctor who set it was gay. And Jewish.

Falling and breaking one's wrist would seem to fly in the face of this whole "inFALLibility" notion, no?

Now the pope will have to jack-off with his other hand...or get a fresh young thing to do it for him.

I'm sure the NK media will say that Kim's pancreatic cancer was caused by some chemicals released in the air by the US CIA and SK.

@14 The pope is far more dangerous if not the most dangerous in the world. When you put a former nazi youth in charge of the minds and opinions of millions of people around the world bad things are bound to happen.
But at his age his time will be up soon and you can't do much worse than a nazi, right?

Goosestepping is pretty tricky. Even those trained as a Youth can fall if they don't practice often enough.

How's the hat?

20 - Oh come on. Nazipants is an asshole, and his ideas are primarily archaic and douchy, but I would not call him the most dangerous person in the world by any stretch of reality. I don't think he's even really a Nazi. He's just an old ass-bag from an older era of Catholicism, and he'll probably die soon. While I do think going around doing things like telling Africa not to use condoms is irresponsible and probably going to cost lives, there are lots of people who are way more dangerous than the pope.

Falling was just a cover story. He actully hurt his wrist while jacking off watching Gilligan's Island.

#27 it 'hanged'. Don't worry. That's a common mistake.
