Did anyone watch the Pope in 3D today? HD? It's amazing isn't it, to be able to watch the first papal visit to Britain since 1982 in such resplendent colour, such crisp images. I had to go to the lavatory a few times, but luckily I was able to pause the Pope on my Sky+ and come back.
The Popemobile as well, did you see it? Made the batmobile look like a shed on wheels. I hear Mercedes made it specially, where can you get one? Now that IS a company car.
Wall to wall Pope TV coverage, brand recongition, this is truly great PR, he is just unlucky he missed ultimate Big Brother by a week.
Can you imagine the Holy See and Davina, 'I'm coming to get you!' - TV gold.
So well done, your Holiness, you have turned this secular world on its head. You've rebuilt the trust in the Church with some old fashioned PR and a great set of wheels.
Who said Britain was devoured by secularism?
Will be interesting to see if there are any 'increase in the number of people going to church' stories as a result. If not in the next few weeks, maybe Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely got the rockstar thing going on with thousands of fans, the Popemobile and them 'funky red loafers'. Will reserve judgement on whether this visit and the apology will help to rebuild trust - could be waiting a few decades...
