Boozhy Headlines: Could Pope Benedict BE ANY GAYER?
As if his hankering for haute couture and love of bejeweled slippers weren't evidence enough, Pope Benedict is once again proving that he is way gay. Reuters reports that the Pope is a huge soccer fan and is thinking of mustering an international soccer team to compete with the world's best. The Vatican stated:
"the Holy See could form 'a magnificent team' by drawing on the hundreds of Brazilian students at its pontifical universities around the world."
Read: The Holy See will use the creation of a soccer team as a means for surrounding himself with beautiful athletic brazilian boys studying to be Priests (translation: gays).
Well you have to admit, girlfriend is wearing the color of the season.

No, he could not *possibly* be more gay. On the other hand, that hat goes so well with the Prada shoes, so at least she can accessorize.

Umm... that was a bloody ignorant posting. Not that I think any church/synagogue/mosk etc. of any kind should stand unburned, but if you want to attack the pope, there are a lot better things to use than the catholic vestments.

What an ignorant post. This just gives ammo to George Will and the other mainstream mouthpieces that bloggers are worse than useless. In this case he would be right. Do you have a problem with gays? Catholics? Soccer? What a jackass.

Gee, what a silly fan base you have. Well, the Crooks and Liars link should remedy that. Blue Gal also can't have too many hilarious (and fabulous, natch) gay bloggers on her blogroll. Consider yourself added, hon.

I've watched American football faithfully since I was a little kid growing up in the '70s. Yet the worst sports injury I've ever seen happened in an EPL match, Pompey v. someone who I can't remember at the moment. For those of you in the know, think Napoleon Kauffman without the pants. Truly gruesome.
Here's a suggestion: put a fucking sock in it until such time as you know what the fuck you're talking about. I recommend watching Super Saturday on FSC. Maybe you'll actually learn something about the sport so glibly disparage.
Sorry about the rant.

Y'all need a sense of humor. I am gay, Catholic and an ex-Soccer player. I was takin' the piss. Geeze. Thanks Blue Girl and C&L for gettin' the joke.

It's Blue Gal, honey. And you're welcome. Mike only links to quality, btw.

Apologies, Mike.
Defending a sport I love, from attacks by people who know nothing about it (not that I do) has become a bit of an obsession with me. I guess I'm beginning to get a bit twitchy.
I even threatened Keith Olbermann. I told him to watch out, or I was going to write an essay. And guess what? He hasn't done any footie bashing since. I guess I must've scared the piss out of him.
And yes, the irony is intentional. Since I apparently needed a map to figure out your post, I thought I'd provide one for my comment, just to make sure.
Can't be too careful these days.

Aryan Brazilians? Could you imagine being inside the head of the young Benedict, as he stood watching the Nazi Youth Rally boys, with his eyes open big.
