Japanese Prime Minister Gives Pope A Sony Camcorder, So He Can Upload Prayers Videos To God YouTube

@vqro: Very nice, you're a typical hypocritical religious nut. May you go straight to hell and burn in eternal damnation for the ill wishes you bestow upon your fellow Gizmodo commenter.

Pope: Darn, I was hoping to get a PSP-GO to impress the guys... {sad}

@Twenty5: No, he was probably like "Dammit, wheres the PS3? Keep smiling, and after this, send the ninjas to his house."

Must be a gag gift. Sony's not a premium brand in Japan... just well-recognized. There are other Japanese brands that are considered superior to Sony by the Japanese...

Worf

In a few months, the Pope's private "prayer" tape will be released to the interwebs, where the Pope will be seen having religious intercourse with the protestant God.

Oh the scandal! He's not praying to Cathol!

@citizen024: Does the fact that the kid who had the case settled admit that he was lying, and the other case being thrown out of court effect your joke any?

You'd be more appropriate saying Mel Gibson and the Pope have something in common other than their love of cameras.

@Dane Bendixen: watch out for pink eye!

THey should have offered a ride in the cockpit of gundam.

To film his child molestations for posterity. So one day, when he's bed ridden, he can relive those cherished moments.

@Twenty5: lol!

The Pope was like...consumer camcorder really? Where's my EX-3 Sony? What about my F23? That's right you respect the pope with a $10,000-$150,000 camera!

TheCrudMan

I think he was really hoping for a playstation...

@bill cant fart: Judging by your user name, it would appear that you have a fecal fetish.

Dane Bendixen

So... why is he giving him a camera without any accessories?

rootwind

I guess people from Japan don't like the pope too much.

@ironman1266: There is usually a 50% chance that the first comment always nets the most silly of chuckles in the morning.

Thanks.

Now at last he can record Jesus live when he returns.

... and the papal sex-tapes ensue ...

Tristan Alécksandt

Perfect for recording all those child sex abuse scandals they're so proud about... in 1080p resolution!

"Now, be a good altar boy and smell this special incense."

@blehh: And don't forget you want your five minutes back.

TheAlmeida

Obviously, he had just read this Gizmodo article.....

@superatombomb: It's for the pope, not the queen. I mean, you couldn't give the queen a REGULAR camcorder to go with her gold plated Wii.

Ho0ber

@citizen024: 2006 called, they want their Catholic Priest and Michael Jackson jokes back.

blehh

He probably was like " OMG is that really for me?!?!"

1. The plate is to keep the cam untouched, of course.
2. Seeing is believing.
I. e. a litte less endless academic writings, a little more action, please.

keese

This is cool. The reason they present gifts to the pope on a platter, is old Vatican tradition. So no they don't plan on eating the camcorder for breakfast.

WaffleTeamStrike

sooooo, is it covered in diamonds or something?

superatombomb

@TheyCallMeStacey_GitEmSteveDave: Eating souls? Planing World dominance? Something like that, I guess.

@[lmgtfy.com]

@citizen024: What's the other(s)?

Enthusiasm for camcorders seems to be at least one thing the pope and MJ have in common.

OK, I read "PM" as "BM" and "Pope" as "Poop". Just getting that out there...

the Japanese eat technology for breakfast....
