I made this startling discovery upon opening the waffle iron this morning:




Sinead's likeness burned into my waffles!

I hear they pay good money for this kind of shit on eBay.

Who got the last laugh?

Ulrika, you may want to choose a different poster child for this political statement you are trying to make. Sinead believes in a higher power. It's kind of like using a hunter to represent you in an anti-hunting statement. Not to mention, she apologized on more than one occasion and became an ordained priest.

Sep. 22, 1997

ROME - Irish pop singer Sinead O'Connor, who once ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul on the television show Saturday Night Live, has asked the Holy Father to forgive her.

In an interview with the weekly newspaper Vita, she said: "Dear Holy Father, forgive me," and said tearing up the photo had been "a ridiculous act, the gesture of a girl rebel."

"I did it because I was in rebellion against the faith, but I was still within the faith," she said. Quoting St. Augustine, she added, "Anger is the first step towards courage."

O'Connor becomes a priest

The artist formerly known as Sinead: Mother Bernadette Mary
Singer Sinead O'Connor has caused uproar in Ireland after becoming a priest.

O'Connor became Mother Bernadette Mary at a ceremony staged by the breakaway Latin Tridentine church in Lourdes last week.

Although her status is not recognised by the mainstream Catholic Church, O'Connor has sought to make amends by apologising for tearing up a portrait of the Pope, and donating IR£150,000 to the bishop who ordained her.

She gave the money to Bishop Michael Cox, who ordained her, as "an act of charity" to set up a healing centre for Ireland's travelling community in County Offaly.

Another dissident bishop, Pat Buckley, called the donation "disturbing" and said there was a question of whether simony - the act of purchasing a sacrament - had taken place.

In an interview for Irish broadcaster RTE from Lourdes, O'Connor, 32, said: "It would be a lie to say I bought by priesthood. This man would not have ordained me for any money if he had not know I had a true vocation.

Authority to say Mass

"I made a donation not to Michael, but to the healing centre he has set up. In my life, God has given me massive resources, so why should it not be used top make money to help the travelling people of Ireland?"

The Catholic Church does not officially recognise women priests, but O'Connor now claims she has the authority to say Mass, baptise and administer last rites.

She plans to continue in the music industry as Mother Bernadette Mary, after the peasant girl whose visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes made the town famous. She also says she will wear a dog collar and clerical shirt daily from now on.

O'Connor also apologised for ripping up the Pope's portrait on US TV show Saturday Night Live, shouting "fight the enemy", in 1992.

She said: "I'm sorry I did that, it was a disrespectful thing to do.

"I have never even met the Pope. I am sure he is a lovely man. It was more an expression of frustration."

Dublin bookmaker Paddy Power has now opened a book on O'Connor becoming the next Pope. She is quoted at 10,000-1.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not a Christian. I do however recognize the importance of PJ II with regard to the fall of the Eastern Bloc, the Solidarity movment in Poland, etc. Therefore, I feel a little respect is due at the time of his passing. You won't hear more from me on this issue, I do not wish to give more attention to what appears to be a cry for just that.

Whoa! I wasn't making a political statement. Not at all. I was making a tasteless post-mortem pope joke.

Wow. You know you're good when people ascribe politics to your jokes. ;)

wow.. I have serious anti-religion issues, but even I wouldn't post something as insensitive and cruel in a public forum. Anyone who is upset about the Pope's death, really, most of us in SL are not self-centered jerks.

What makes post-mortem pope jokes tasteless, except their political content?

And btw, all politics is waffling, so this thread was always about....

Regarding your criticism, the real world is a place where THIS HAPPENS while mass media captures the attention of the masses in a collective group hug over the rights of human vegetables:

Billy Grace, why do you have a link to this thread in your profile? If it's so offensive, then why draw more attention to it? Seems like you are looking for drama.

Not that this is necessarily bad, all stories transition to the next act by raising their stakes... but nyehhh. :confused: (There needs to be an emoticon for smelling a fart)
