A Man of My Word

A Man of My Word

So, I followed a link from the Windows Media Player media guide today.

I swear, it isn't something I usually do but how do you resist a link that reads "Bustin' a Move for the Pope?" You don't. It is your duty as a good Catholic to find out who is bustin' what moves and how the Pope reacted. (where and when are also important but to a lesser extent) The thirty second clip features some Polish guy breakin' on the palace floor in front of the Pope throne. He wasn't bad but I'm not about to adapt it into a full length screen play.

The real reason to watch the movie is to see the aging John Paul himself. There he is with his Pope cap on his Pope throne watching some jackass spin on his head when he reaches up his hand and does the Pope wave. Done from a balcony or Pope-mobile, this gesture is a pious expression of welcome. Done towards someone in the middle of popping and locking, it looks like an especially God-Fearing "I feel you dawg."

The Windows Media Player wouldn't let me snag a direct link to the content, but searching for the terms "pope break dance" on the media guide will take you to the good stuff.
