I Want to See the Vatican Take on the RIAA

Now that the Pope has an iPod (a white one, naturally–although I would have laughed my ass off if he had gotten the U2 "limited" edition), wouldn't it be hilarious if he went the way of Sen. Ted Stevens from Alaska and started giving the RIAA and MPAA grief about what he can and can't have on there…

"What do they mean I can't tear Snoop Dogg songs to this thing? Who do they think they are?"

"That's rip, your eminence."

"Oh whatever. I want an answer. Get me an answer."

I want to see some cardinals sued for file sharing. I want this. Ungawa! Make it so.

Music Postscript: Trimbal's "They Gave an Inch". Found via Largehearted Boy. Why can't I stop laughing?

Update: I really appreciate Engadget's headline on this.

Widge and a Night of the Living Dead poster from Belgium

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
