Oh, I have no doubt that this is real news, but I think Daniel meant that the reporter saw this as a joke, instead of reporting actual news, he reported this. I'm trying to figure out why this story reminds me of Airplane!...Nun's Life magazine perhaps?

Vinay Menon is a popular columnist here in Toronto who reports on anything that is mundane, from actual news events to whatever happened during his walk to the corner store.

I'm sure the Vatican will send out a team of albinos to make sure Father Rungi is brained with a big brick. Don't worry, these guys are professionals, they can handle twenty priests, and a hundred nuns.

God, look at that man backpedal. He was not talking about social awareness and spirituality. He even talked about how not all nuns were old and stunted...

Yeah, but remember that he was being quoted in a newspaper article. It's entire possible, perhaps probable, that they chose to ignore many other quotes from him about the other aspects of his project. It could even be that the interviewer intentionally led him into saying something like that, just to be able to focus on that angle.

You know, upon a cursory glance at this thread title, I thought it actually said "The 2008 Miss Nude Universe Pageant," and got my hopes up, only to be horribly dashed once I clicked the link. Who gives a shit about nuns? :-)

Which, interestingly, was apparently Father Rungio's (or whatever, can't be chuffed to look it up) point
