Not that I'm a particuarly religious guy, but it took up over 10 minutes of the 30 minute news tonight, so I thought I'd bring it up. The pope has finally passed away, after battling illness and being the pope for 26 years!

The Pope? Didn't he used to shoot for Chelsea?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

HAHAHA!!!

10 minute's!! wow, the USA is going all out...

Kind of hard to miss over here, I think it took up several hours of the BBC news, and basically 100% of all other news on the other 3 channels.

I just find it odd how people could cry etc over him dying, and saying how he was a "father" to them. And they say geek's are sad... *sigh*

And they all ignore the fact that the guy's been hopelessly senile and a bit of a joke for the past 20 years. Ho-hum.

Reminds me of when Princess Diana died and all these thousands of attention seeking celebs came out saying how much her death had affected them, even though most of them had never even met her or gave a damn about her when she was alive. When is the press going to realise that the average guy in the street doesn't really care less about these people?

It's just the Media trying to make a buzz about nothing, as usual....*Roll my eyes*...and I won't even discuss Terry Schivo!! (I hope I spelled that right...I'm too lazy to check)

CW, i live in Australia. For a half hour news bulletin, that's a lot. And that was one of five channels. I didn't see the others.

Rest in peace, potato.

Rest in peace.

XD

Jakk is back again! Why do you keep disappearing Jakk?

Hahahaha....
I can imagine that!

"Tomato reverend, potato your, carrot Pope's, turnip dead!"
Loved that sketch!

Yeah... Im not christian... and I agree with your point...

I know what I'm gonna say seems kinda off subject, But I've been thinking this... Its kinda funny how beliefs can get in the way of common sence...
