SNOGFEST VS NAZI NONCE

SchNEWS’ favourite holy homophobe, his Nazi Nonceness Pope Benedict XVI, is headed for some enforced mind-broadening when he heads to Spain next month, after being targeted for a Queer Kissing Flashmob.

Organised in opposition to the Pope’s notoriously bigoted attitude to homosexuality (ironic for the man behind the church’s big child abuse cover-up), the demo will see a mass of man-on-man and woman-on-woman kissing action, all strategically planting their smackers in front of the papal procession.

The plans have incited the censorious wrath of Facebook, which has now twice removed events pages for the demo, the first of which had 12,000 supporters declaring they were puckering up their lips and raring to go.

One of the organisers Marylène Carole said, “It is curious to note how an act so noble as a kiss can be considered revolutionary, even in the 21st century.”

Let’s hope the Spanish all start talking in tongues.
