dem00n Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I just love the name. And the whole page for it on wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popemobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 It's definitely strange. It's kind of hard to take anyone seriously that has their own motorized display case, but I understand the reason for the vehicle's existence. Whether or not you're religious (which I'm definitely not) I can't help but feel bad that the moral fabric of the world has deteriorated so much that such a vehicle is required to exist. I suppose that the threat of assassination comes with the territory when you're a powerful person (be it religion, government, or even sometimes celebrity). I don't think that it's anything new though. -Through history powerful people have always been targeted by people wanting quick, pivotal, extreme change. The world is f&*$ed up. But yeah, it's a funny name. You'd think that they could have came up with something that sounds less dorky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 They don't call it the PopeMobile in rome - the lack of respect in the term was bothersome to a prvious pope but it was to late and people still call in the PopeMobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 "They", The Vatican, did not come up with the dorky name. It was given that moniker by the world's biggest dorks, the network media, NBC, CBS, ABC, possibly BBC, et.al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
