interesting, if irreverant
got this in an email.
i must say, im rather offended about the attack on the Office of the Pope, but on objective critique, it is interesting nonetheless. a well written piece. oozing creativity

Late Night Lit Crit and Stoned Close Reading Nonsense with your host Disembodied Announcer
[black screen, lights come up on black tiled stage with black curtains. at the center of the stage are a Bishop's Hat, a rubber chicken, and a German translation of Jacques Derrida's "De la Grammatologie"
Disembodied Announcer: Welcome to the 21st century ladies and gentleman, with the selection of our new Papa Pomo Pope Benedict 16![lukewarm applause]Disembodied Announcer: That's right folks, it's a new century now as The Holy Mother Church of Rome moves into her THIRD MILLENIUM! And doesn't she look great folks, let's give her a big hand
[mild applause, someone shouts "show us your tits"]
Disembodied Announcer: Now I know a lot of you are thinking, what the hell is going on? The Catholic Church is now being run by an ex-Hitlerjugend who used to blow up Allied airplanes for fun. This is not cool man! Fuck this guy.I would like to point out, however, that there is some sign of hope. The new pope, in the grand tradition of all popes and certain egomaniacal rockstars, has taken a new Nom du Papa for himself that I think sheds light on what promises to be a glorious and liberal reign.
[sounds of chairs squeaking, people filing out the back.]
Disembodied Announcer: This is, of course, Pope Benedict Sixteen we're talking about, and I think the clue to his reign as Holy Father is contained in that name. Of course, in Latin, Benedict just means "Good Word," which is a little arrogant considering that Christian theology holds that Jesus Christ was "the word made flesh" so it's a little bit like naming yourself after God.
[Assorted boos. There is a sneeze. a different someone yells "show us your tits.]
Disembodied Announcer: BUT! Take a closer look: "Benedict The Sixteenth" has a certain symmetry and consonance to it as an Utterance in English, so I think this may be a clue from the erstwhile Cardinal Ratzinger that we need to look closer. Look closer and what do we find? We find that Benedict can be deconstructed as Been a Dick in English, and I think that this may be an acknowledgement on the part of the Holy Father that he has in fact "been a dick" in the past, and that he will be leaving that dickdom in the past as he assumes his new mantle. So what do you think?
