As you all probably know, Pope Benedict XVI is currently visiting America. He visited Washington, D.C., and I believe he'll be coming to Chicago soon (if he hasn't already). However, this isn't the ridiculous part. The weird part is that people are acting like he's some sort of rock star. American Idol Kelly Clarkson opened for him ('opened for him?' What is this, a rock concert?), and he's said that he's trying to reach out to young people. Something tells me that not many 'young people' will want to listen to an old German guy, who looks like he could drop dead at any second, preach about the Catholic Church. Also, people were selling T-shirts and buttons of him! WTF? Where can I buy a black "Pope Benedict XVI: Tour of the Americas 2008" T-shirt? Something tells me that said T-shirt exists somewhere.Also, I just wrote a sonnet in trochaic and iambic pantameter about how I couldn't think of anything to write for my sonnet. Looks like writer's block actually helped me out this time.
