Strange article in the news yesterday about a chap who tried to jump in Benedict XVI’s popemobile during his weekly trundle around St Peter’s Square.
With a top speed of around 5mph, a gaggle of security guards in close proximity and 35,000 Catholic devotees as witnesses, I can’t help but think his choice of vehicle to car-jack was poor (still, at least he would have had an actual holy figurehead on the dashboard instead of some plastic figurine).
As if his attempt wasn’t conspicuous enough, his choice of clothing didn’t help matters, dressed, as he was, in black shorts and a lurid pink T-shirt. His Holiness probably thought he was being kidnapped by one of the kids from Fame.
