We Are Borg, erm...

[yakalskovich]

In a fit of its usual dementia coupled with mindless patriotism, Germany's leading conservative tabloid, 'Bild' (also known as 'Die Bildzeitung), triumphs mightily about the German cardinal Ratzinger being elected pope, filling its title page with 6 inch high letters proclaiming:



This translates to :

"WE ARE POPE!"

I knew about Palpatine, but the Borg as well???

And yes, it sounds just as silly and inappropriate in German...

ETA: Der Spiegel, the magazine/news site wiebke refers to, actually has a picture of the title page, complete with a hand so the fearsome size of the letters becomes apparent:



ETA 2: Telepolis is already mocking that title page as well. Sorry, those last two links are in German.

> I'm definitely not Pope. Thanks, but no thanks!
Well, you would get to wear funny costumes. Then again, I only need a movie as an excuse to wear funny costumes...

White and red - gah, how boring! No black or purple in it!

I'm not going to wear funny costumes that have neither purple not black.
