The Pope Deserved A Better Parting Gift Than This Comic Sans Photo Album

The Pope Deserved A Better Parting Gift Than This Comic Sans Photo Album


Officials at The Vatican were faced with a tough question when the Pope announced his retirement: what do you get “God’s Rottweiler” as a leaving present?

Fortunately, that question didn’t trouble them for long, because the answer was so very, very clear to them: his very own virtual photograph album! And, ladies and gentlemen, here it is, in all its glory.

Sadly, all the pictures in the world of the ex-Pope leading mass, kissing babies and wearing hats can’t hide the fact that it seems like someone actually made it in the early ’90s. This thing is a mess of textured backgrounds, comic sans, awful page turns and a page jump feature that looks like it was coded by a child. Poor Pope; he deserved better than this.
