Male Flesh Merges For Pope Benedict in Athens
Barack Obama and Pope Benedict have been celebrated by a fusion of nearly naked men (and a couple of women) atop a hill near the Acropolis in Athens:
"The work was inspired by fusionism which is an art form that combines abstract painting and choreographed performances. It is part of an art marathon. The plan is that one artist will be sent to a different country every year for the next 42 years to exhibit their work and create discussion on how art can make the world a better place. But it has not been easy for Dave. He said it took several days to create and plan the performance particularly the choreography, to make sure the picture fitted together properly. There was also a fair bit of re-touching when his art work got smudged. Dave said: 'This is really hard. Then it's the performance you have to plan and the painting... So I start at 8am and I'm still here.'"

Oh, I just love it when dropping acid and doodling on your salacious slagbags at the top of a big hill will make the world a better place. oooooh.
I'm feeling like drinking a fifth and going to shake the peen at the local grocery clerk and see if that'll make my bill a whole lot better. What a steaming pile of feta!

i'm annoyed but not surprised by the buffoonish commentary by the MSNBC anchor.

Am I seeing that wrong, or did they pixelate the one guy's package? Is it not covered? I guess by doing that no one can tell it is a penis....
