This new pope has done little in his brief tenure, but already he's stiring up controversity, albeit through no effort of his own. The above website has photoshopped an image of him in a Nazi uniform. And here's the pic: Nazi Pope.
I myself, consider it in very poor taste, however humorous some might find it. As he was never accused of war crimes, let him be judged on his present actions. I've no doubt that he'll provide plenty of fuel for honest criticism.
I also think that the Italian laws concerning offending the Catholic Church are a crock. Churchs are supposed to be offended and are seldom happy when they are not.

| I think we should move the entire Vatican City to some other place in the world. I wonder if Europe is really the best place to have it, but maybe Italy is more religious than other parts of Europe? |

Hm. I can still get it. Maybe it's just still in my box. And if it's been taken down, it will come as no suprise.
Wasn't much to look at, anyway. Just some old guy in an out-dated uniform.
I'll go back to where I found it and see if it's still there.
Edit: Yup, still there. Try the Sludge Drudge Report.

The link works for me, though I agree it is in poor taste. I'm not happy with the choice of Pope, but he doesn't deserve this... yet.

Hmm... Maybe the server was overloaded at the time. It isn't even a good photoshopped pic. Amateur night.
Even my girlfriend does it better. Our faces found on cartouche in the Egyptian pyramids, or putting her face on Boromir. |
