Pope Benedict XVI's Visit Sparks LOLPOPE Fever In Photo Editors
As Defamer Australia's fearless leader noted yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Australia for World Youth Day has induced intense excitement in the Catholic/Christian community - but it seems that the photo editors of the nation just can't get enough of that Papal goodness, either! Here are a sampling of today's efforts.
First we have this rather subtle, blink and you'll miss it offering:
Pope Benedict hearts you!
And then there is this equally subtle, yet slightly confusing and disorienting number:
It reminds me of the bit in Mortal Kombat where the dude's head pops up, shouting "TOASTY!" And the Peter Cundall reference - why??
But the front page of today's Herald Sun website saves the best 'til last:
Truly, as I once read an anonymous forum sprite exclaim after seeing a particularly good animated GIF, "Guys, I am standing up and applauding right now - this is the greatest party for my eyes."
Top work, everyone! May the Papal fever never be cured!
So you're mashing images to create juxtapositions that match your idea of "funny" by pretending the Pope is somehow participating in these photoshop fantasies? Did I miss something, because I'm not getting it? Maybe it's been too many years since I was four.
@ Hi-Larious: They are commenting on major media doing bizarre mash-ups of images, and how lame this is. Oh, forget it.
