Pope Benedict XVI’s Visit Sparks LOLPOPE Fever In Photo Editors
9:52AM Clem Bastow | 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.

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!

But what they didn’t note was this gobsmackingly insane piece of Photoshopping that everyone’s favourite entertainment gossip section’s team whipped up for the occasion:
“How they might look”? Yes, I suppose Madonna might very well look like she’s decapitated an 18-year-old and replaced the fallen noggin with her own head, and Briney might look like Tim Brooke Taylor in drag at the annual International Transsexual Tattooing & Fake Tanning Convention held in the middle of the Crab Nebula.
In which case, I can’t wait for the tour!
