Benny Sixteen has cancelled the annual Vatican Yuletide concert.
Initiated by John Paul II in 1993, the annual pop music event has been canned by Benedict XI, apparently because of his disdain for music written by non-German composers alive since 1791. Which kinda narrows it down a little.
Ekklesia takes up the story.
“Outraged scientists stormed out of a government-sponsored climate change conference dinner in Canberra last night, after the strippers booked as entertainment left them all hot and bothered.”
- Climate conference strip show storm, smh.com.au, 7.9.06
The main entertainment at the official dinner of the 17th Australia New Zealand Climate Forum (run by the Australian National University, and whose event page has expired) was a female burlesque act.
Symbolism for a vanishing ecosystem? Or living proof that science is still a boy’s club?
