Controversial Washington Metro Pope Ad

Sean shares a silly story...

On April 17, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI held a mass at the new Nationals Park (the home of the MLB Washington Nationals). DC's Metro put this ad on the air but it was quickly yanked because of objections from the papacy due to the portrayal of the pope as a bobblehead doll and the colors of his vestments. So here it is for y'all to enjoy! The first words of the ad are in Latin...hence the subtitles!
