POPE'S AWAY STRIP FAILS TO IMPRESS FANS
From THE BBC (Birmingham):
A plan to help fund the Papal visit to the UK by selling 20,000 football shirts has failed to hit its target, with only 520 of the £18 shirts sold. Instead of £50,000 being given to the Catholic Church only £1,200 was raised. Thousands of left-over shirts will now be rebranded and sold for Pope Benedict's forthcoming visit to Spain. Paul Sullivan, from shirt suppliers Club and Country, said apathy hit sales badly.

Love the 'toon!
ReplyDeleteApathy? More like antipathy.
ReplyDeleteAh, that's right... in the Catholic church everything gets shoved into the closet!
ReplyDeleteYup. The 'toon is a pure hoot!
ReplyDeleteI think we need to design an Episcopalian football shirt! Then I could wear it to our Diocesan Convention to remind them that they are indeed still part of TEC - no matter how much that grates on their nerves :P
