This pope just creeps me out.

[kayakjohnny]

And that is all I have to say about that.

[LisaM]

1. He's living a lie

It's my personal opinion that he is gay, and that he's tormented by it. That's where you get the creepy vibe. He's like all those conservatives who cannot come to terms with their sexuality.

[kayakjohnny]

2. Something about the eyes.

Don't like the eyes. He's just a bad look for a pope. If I worked around him, I would have a major problem with his whole look.


It's just bothersome. I know it's not right to judge by appearances, but I can't help it in this case. Sorry.

[rurallib]

10. looks like he should be on the set of some Halloween show

[LeftyMom]

3. He's hiding a way bigger secret than that.

I predict bodies. Seriously, nobody can be that creepy without having sautee'd a baby or something.

He's quite possibly the creepiest person on the planet. Especially when he smiles.

[LisaM]

5. Yeah, something's going on

He also claimed he wasn't going to live more than a few months or years after his election, which was strange.

[Captain Hilts]

15. Wow. That never occurred to me. I'm not sure I agree on that one...nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. He's always reminded me of Uncle Fester.

[kayakjohnny]

6. Yes, he does have a certain Festeristic quality, but at least with Uncle F, we knew he was mostly

harmless.

However, the popester here, I think he has some bad juju hidden in the back room.

[Orrex]

7. Well, if you routinely bathed in the blood of children, you'd seem pretty creepy too.

Give the ghoul a break, would you?!?

[Arugula Latte]

8. 90 percent of religious leaders creep me out, but he is especially creepy and evil. nt

[Duer 157099]

9. I've thought that since I first saw him

I could not (and still cannot) understand why they'd elevate this man to that status. I felt guilty for judging him based on thinking he looked creepy, but it turns out he really *is* creepy. Sometimes looks don't deceive.

[nickinSTL]

19. creepy-looking or not

(and I do agree on that)

he was about the worst possible choice if the Catholic Church wanted to have any chance of being seen as relevant in the 21st century.

He's going to do more harm the longer he stays, IMO.

[tXr]

11. Me too.

At least JPII was a genial, pleasant-looking fellow.

This guy? No way.

[UTUSN]

12. Bwah-HAH !1 You are not alone. n/t

[caitxrawks]

13. YES

It's his eyes and his creepy old guy smile. John Paul was so kindly looking. Benedict is just like "AAAAUGHHHH!" Exorcist type shit. I was in 11th grade when he was made the pope. We talked all about it in history class...oh, the hilarity.

[Old Troop]

14. Okaay

You're going to hell, and you and you too

[Captain Hilts]

16. Well, he got his job the way Dick Cheney became veep. nt

[omega minimo]

17. He's a rodent

[Haole Girl]

18. +1

That's all I have to say, too.

[soleiri]

20. I was just thinking the same thing

The last pope was much cuddlier.

[Lucian]

21. The Pope is pimpin'.

[Kali]

22. can you imagine HIM in a speedo?

:rofl: :puke:

[Bucky]

23. I love those "Pope Simon bar Sinister" cartoons

But don't count on every guy you don't like look that much like a villain from central casting.

[rkennedy_68]

24. he's a true perv
