Funny Things About the Pope - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

(Ok, first of all, if you love the pope.. don't read this. Second of all, this is purely a satirical post - I do not hate the pope.)

So there are 3 articles I want to call to your attention. The first one is something Art brought to my attention.

49.After beating for the last time, Pope's heart sits there like a piece of hamburger.

37.Getting a little stuffy.

36.Naming all the different types of fish. Flounder, halibut, perch, goldfish, basking shark...no, do the sharks separately...really stuffy in here, gar, swordfish, manta ray, eels... No, don't think about eels. Eels are scary. Boy, is it dark in here. Four minutes gone by.

5.According to numerous reports, if the Pope dies at night this time, no one will know what to do. (This is not a joke.)

4.In 1958, reporters paid off Pope Pius XII's physician to throw open the hospital room window when the Pope died.

'N.Y. Press' Editor Quits in Wake of Pope Cover

Quote:

NEW YORK Jeff Koyen, editor of the alt-weekly New York Press, quit today after refusing to accept a two-week suspension in the aftermath of the paper’s controversial “52 Funniest Things About the Upcoming Death of the Pope” cover story, Koyen said.

The article by Matt Taibbi had drawn heated denunciations from the likes of Sen. Chuck Schumer (“The most disgusting thing I've seen in 30 years of public life") and a spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg ("As disgusting as this is, it's sadly par for the course for this publication").

In a letter published this afternoon on the gossip Web site Gawker, Koyen blasted his publisher and owner for not standing up to the criticism.

“This morning, I was told to accept a two-week unpaid suspension. During that time, I was to ‘think about what this paper should be,'" he wrote.

“Problem is, New York Press already is the paper it should be. We are iconoclastic, occasionally obnoxious but always intelligent. If you see through the nasty Pope jokes, for instance, you will see a well-reasoned political argument. ... I did my best to show this battle to be one of free expression.”

A comment from the publisher of New York Press, Chris Rohland, is included in a separate story on E&P Online. In it, he says that he vetted the Pope story before publication, and that the actual reason for the suspension stemmed from Koyen, against orders, running a parody of a New York Post cover (on the death of the Pope) on an inside page.

Third is an article in which the Vatican takes a page from Al Qaeda...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._on_re_eu/pope

Quote:

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican released a video Friday with Pope John Paul II speaking, the first time the pontiff has been heard publicly since a throat operation last month to help him breathe. The video was taken of a meeting Friday with Tanzanian prelates in the pope's hospital room. He says a few words in a husky voice, including "va bene," Italian for "OK."

The 84-year-old pontiff is shown seated during a Mass with the prelates. His voice reciting a prayer is barely audible.

The two — Cardinal Polycarp Pengo and Bishop Severine Niwemugizi — are shown telling him in English that Tanzanians are praying for him and love him. He responded with the two Italian words.

The meeting was an indication that the frail pontiff was stepping up his activities before returning to the Vatican.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok now, first, I want to say that the list of 52 things.. is not funny at all. There is not one point that made me grin. As Art pointed out, the most interesting part of that is the ensuing fallout. The list is SO BAD, in fact, that anyone could attempt to improve it and succeed.

I have.

53. Gerber releasing new line of soft food for Geriatrics, with the Pope's portrait on the label.

54. Commemorative Pope stamp issued by the US Postal service accidentally manufactured without adhesive.

55. Jim Henson busts out of the Pope's chest at the funeral.

56. The Vatican sues the makers of "28 Days Later" for taking inspiration from the Pope's condition without giving credit.

57. Spell "Suspend Death III" released in new edition of Dungeons & Dragons rulebook.

58. Madonna and Sinead O'Connor team up to top "Candle In The Wind"

59. Like Tupac, several years after his death, the Pope is still releasing videos.

60. ILM goes bankrupt shortly after hologram of pope slouching in his chair briefly flickers to a shot of Princess Leia.

61. World contributions to the "Papal Victims Fund" triples those of the "Tsunami Victims Fund"

ARTelevision · 03-11-2005, 08:47 AM

Thanks for getting the jump on the upcoming world-shattering story of the death of the pope.

It will be a big deal - both for the devout and the profane!

warrrreagl · 03-11-2005, 08:55 AM

Back in the late 70's, instead of saying "Is the Pope Catholic?" everybody briefly changed it to "Is the Pope dead?"

This probably wouldn't be as funny this time around unless two more Popes die off consecutively.

the_marq · 03-11-2005, 08:59 AM

Whatever... the whole Pope show has been a "Weekend at Bernie's" perfomance since late 2002.

cyrnel · 03-11-2005, 09:02 AM

I agree the list is odd. The only one I found humorous was the last, but it had the advantage of sound effects. Then there's the possibility I was just happy to have finished.

What would motivate anyone to publish that list beyond a blog, let alone a cover, and why stake your career on it? Is my absolute pope-neutrality blinding me to something deeper?

(n+1). "Bring-out-yer-dead" guy uses pontiff corpse to muffle cries from guy who's still alive.

#. Pope makes it to April fools day- his helpers dress him up in blue robes and call him Papal Smurf.

Strange Famous · 03-12-2005, 09:05 AM

He seems to be resistant to poison. This is the standard means the Vatican uses to get rid of a Pope, but they have been trying to kill him discretely for about 10 years. Obviously the problem is that he is too religious... but time wears on, I fear he is not too much longer for the world.

They say "those who the God's love die too young" - makes you wonder how come so many religious leaders live to such ripe old ages!

Demeter · 03-12-2005, 10:38 PM

You just know someone will be seen with an "I pulled the plug on the Pope!" tshirt.

0energy0 · 03-12-2005, 11:00 PM

The pope is still living strong...

I wonder who the next pope will be, and if he can outlive him.

degrawj · 03-13-2005, 03:32 PM

I just can't help but think how interesting it is that in all honesty, the Pope should have been dead a while ago. But the doctors have fought against natural selection (what, the Catholic church going against natural selectiong? gasp!), and have managed to keep his old decreped ass alive this long. Man, I can't believe I just said that about the Pope. Really though, I don't have anything against him. He's just doing his thing. It's not like he has any real power any way.

Blackthorn · 03-16-2005, 07:28 PM

I love the Pope and I know for a fact he's got a sense of humor!

Well I don't really know for a fact.

I was just making that up. But I'll bet you a dollar he's got a sense of humor in there somewhere.

I agree. I'm not offended by any of them (it takes a LOT to offend me) but they're just not funny. Maybe my sense of humor is advanced beyond human civilization!

Coppertop · 03-17-2005, 04:34 PM

That list was anything but funny.

And am I the only person here who failed to see the "well-reasoned political argument?"

-Lasereth

It also takes a pretty heavy joke to offend me (unless it's about me personally

) and those were not offensive. They were just stupid.

your sense of humor may not have advanced... just others have regressed.

crow_daw · 03-17-2005, 07:30 PM

Yeah, that was uhh, that was pretty bad. I mean I'm all for offensive humor, but like others have said, it just wasn't funny. I mean this is one of the most misguided attempts at a "well-reasoned political argument" I've ever seen. Ever.

godzilla23 · 03-17-2005, 08:00 PM

I dunno, I thought the one with the Isaiah Thomas trading for the Pope was pretty good.

jwoody · 03-18-2005, 03:00 AM

The funniest thing about the pope is that he's an 84 year old incoherent, senile man with millions (billions?) of people hanging on his every word.

Actually, now I've thought about it, that's not very funny at all.

meembo · 03-18-2005, 05:58 AM

Anybody else remember Steve Martin's old routines from "A Wild and Crazy Guy" about philosophy? One of his Big Questions was "Does the Pope shit in the woods?" Somehow it seems appropriate.

meembo · 03-18-2005, 06:03 AM

I also wanted to say -- be kind to the guy! One day it's going to be us! That list of 52 things was garbage and hurtful -- what's the point? It certainly wasn't humorous.
I remember the guy twenty years ago telling jokes and taking skiing vacations. Politics aside, he was a tireless man for what he believed, and he did a good job doing what he did. His job was different from any other, but he was a good man doing good things.

Lebell · 03-18-2005, 09:26 AM

That was one of the dumbest things I've read in a while...I'm sure my IQ dropped a couple of points around number 10.

If anything, I think the writer should be put on suspension because of his appalling lack of judgement regarding satire that is not satire.

How about the editor who failed to tell the writer that he was an idiot? I'd blame him even more so.

True.

I would question his judgement as well.

Lebell · 03-18-2005, 03:24 PM

The point is that the editor should not have allowed the story to be printed in the first place.

zxello · 03-19-2005, 11:42 AM

I appreciate your effort halx, but imo, NONE of that first bit was funny. I'm not religious, I really don't care about the pope, but I was expecting some good ole' fashion humor, and the '52 funniest things about the popes death' was 52 random ramblings that for 1, didnt make sense and 2, weren't funny. On the other hand, your added ones at the end were pretty funny, especially the one about 'Suspend Death III' =)

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
