Pope Benedict XVI’s Pedobear greeting
Two things about Pope Benedict’s planned visit to Malta have me smiling a bit; (1) the mayor of a small town has asked that a statue which looks like a dick be removed at the local airport for fear of offending the pontiff, and (2) a graffiti artist stenciled a few “pedobears” on the billboard marking his arrival, and the local news people have no idea what it implies. In case you’re hopelessly out of the loop, it’s a classic internet meme that was birthed in the often vile and twisted world of 4chan, and it’s a comedic reference to pedophilia (sometimes you have to laugh in order not to cry). The artist has succeeded in both confusing mainstream news sources while delighting us “hip” internet folks with his civil disobedience.
I don’t suppose this brave young artist could be enticed to paint this same graffiti on the Pope mobile? That would be EPIC!
Spread the outrage

That’s one of the most terrifying billboards i have ever seen.
Come on catholics, we all know your religion is bullshit, but you aren’t helping your cause by picking someone who looks that fucking creepy to be the pope. He shouldn’t be allowed to be photographed without his hat, it distracts from his ghoulish appearance.

Thats a creepy picture of the pope, but I guess its hard to not get a shot of him looking creepy.
Have Catholics learned of photoshop?
They should have airbrushed those liver spots out.

on a sideline – would someone PLEASE stick a giant condom on that statue that looks like a penis – we want him to get the right message don’t we?
