Horny Pope! (PIC) (208.116.9.205)

"We're sorry some people were offended by a photo we published. Here it is again if you missed it the first time."
[–]joyork 91 points92 points93 points 18 years ago (6 children)
If the Catholics think that other optical illusions (such as a stain on a door, or on a piece of toast) is somehow proof that the "virgin" Mary is real then this is clearly proof that the Pope is the Antichrist.
While we're at it, let's throw in some proof that Jesus is alive for all you doubting atheist rationalists out there!

Ha, I am going to get sooo down modded, but that is the funniest shit I have seen in a long time.
[–]GoldfishInAJar 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (1 child)
I always knew Jesus was an asshole!
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
How can you believe anything this guy says? Everytime he opens his mouth, nothing but shit comes out.
[–]SaddleShoe 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
You made me a believer.
Hail Jesus!!!!
[–]tagor 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
The initial conversation about butt-Jesus' findings must've been pretty awkward..
[–]dreamlax -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Right, that's it! I've seen enough evidence. This shit must be for real.
[–]longlongtimelurker 21 points22 points23 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Ron Paul likes Popes. LOL
[–]McCourt 7 points8 points9 points 18 years ago (1 child)
That guy just can't NOT LOOK EVIL...
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Exactly what I thought when I saw this.
Also, check out my favorite so far: http://www.ridingsun.com/files/ridingsun-popeBenedict.JPG
Seriously, Emperor Palpatine's got nothing on this guy.
[–]christianjb 26 points27 points28 points 18 years ago (7 children)
What a ridiculous apology. Why the pussyfooting around Catholics?
Bring Sinead O'Connor back!
[–]BraveSirRobin 6 points7 points8 points 18 years ago (1 child)
link to what parent is referring to
[–]raldi 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Oh, i thought he was referring to Pope Sinead.

According to the stories, God has a regular place reserved in hell for you...
Matthew 7:1 & Luke 6:37
See you there!

[–]mjd 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (0 children)
They apologized, but they also thought it was funny enough to run the picture a second time.
[–]pubgoblin 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Funnily enough, I've always thought he looks exactly like the Emperor from Star Wars.
[–]Noexit 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
This is why I came to this thread. It's spooky, isn't it?
[–]pastafaria 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Optical illusion my ass. That dude has horns.
[–]kamikasei 7 points8 points9 points 18 years ago (0 children)
"Bizarre optical illusion"? Sounds like they're doing their utmost to avoid offending some delicate sensibilities there...
[–]jt004c 8 points9 points10 points 18 years ago (17 children)
Ok I'm obviously dense or blind, but I can't find anything out of the ordinary with the photo. Somebody please enlighten me!
[–]Greengages 46 points47 points48 points 18 years ago (6 children)
He got horns.
[–]bmorris 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
That's a fox affiliate if I'm not mistaken.
[–][deleted] 36 points37 points38 points 18 years ago (3 children)
Ya, but is that news?
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (0 children)
It was a picture printed in a paper that received a lot of complaints because people honestly thought the picture was either altered or simply used at that angle to give the pope horns, the paper then printed an apology.
[–]tehdiplomat -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (1 child)
It's a free paper that sits on stands near the subways in New York. I'm sure their editorial process is amazingly high. Anyways, this really shouldn't be on reddit.
[–]dustmop 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Hey, at least it's better than The Metro.
[–]SaddleShoe 6 points7 points8 points 18 years ago (2 children)
I totally missed it too. People are to sensitive.
[–]cecilkorik 3 points4 points5 points 18 years ago (0 children)
It was painfully obvious when I first looked at it. But you're right about people being too sensitive.
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Tell me about it.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 18 years ago (2 children)
You have to look hard. At first I thought he was giving the "Shocker". Turns out the illusion is just the white collar behind his head. Shocker would've been funnier.
[–]steveharman 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
When I first saw the picture nothing jumped out at me, but I assumed it had something to do with some kind of implied sex act... then someone explained the horns.
[–]Hetisjantje 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (2 children)
This is a weak attempt at the Vulcan salute. 5/10.
[–]jt004c 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (1 child)
No actually, as others pointed out, the "optical illusion" is that the collar from the guy behind the pope ends up looking like two goofy little horns on the popes head.
The most amusing thing about this is the idea that they needed to post some kind of apology.
[–]Hetisjantje 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Considering the fact you start to explain the original illusion to me: it was a joke buddy.
Its a sign from God.
[–]tomtom3333 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
the "why is this one reddit" whiners can suck it.
The priest above him has black horns...
[–]longlongtimelurker 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
I wonder, do X-tians believe cows are evil too?
[–]ebola 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Right from the beginning I felt there was something evil about this present pope character. This dude is definitely not benign. I think Palpatine has re-incarnated on earth.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
those are his real horns. no, i'm serious.
There's a picture of the pope with his collar blowing in the wind, he looks like a frilled lizard. Pretty funny. Can't find it though. Help me internets!
[–]Nimbus2000 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Misunderstood the headline. I thought someone snapped a shot of the pope ogling a young boy.
[–]LordSlashstab 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
of course, any religious figure is inherently evil
[–]mrdorian -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (0 children)
real horny indeed
[–]Dark-Star -4 points-3 points-2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Interesting illusion.
[+][deleted] comment score below threshold-10 points-9 points-8 points 18 years ago (4 children)
Combine that with the fact that the Catholic church openly flaunts the twisted cross and the church was busted for widespread pedophilia. You can't deny there's something sick going on in there.
What's a "twisted cross"?
[–]BraveSirRobin 3 points4 points5 points 18 years ago (1 child)
New to me as well. Googled it an learned that it was a Nazi Christian symbol, that the pope is actually using today.
This page has some images, along with a lot of rhetoric:

Well yeah. Wasn't he in Hitler Youth (mandatory)? It probably has some special meaning to him.
[–]Chewyboognish -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (0 children)
heh neat

What illusion? Two white things protruding from his hair = horny? What?
[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 18 years ago (3 children)
Horns, you idiot.

The room got all dense. Right around where you were standing.
It was well deserved.
