It's Sunday

Two people died and nearly 1,000 more were injured after a million Filipinos flooded the streets of Manila in a mad rush to catch a glimpse of a highly revered Jesus statue.

  RT
And what could they see?  It was covered with other (rudely selfish) crazy people.


Many tried their utmost to get near the 200-year-old statue in order to throw small towels to volunteers manning the carriage, believing that wiping parts of the cross and statue will miraculously transfer its supposed healing powers to them.
That or get you killed.
The government viewed Friday’s procession as a potential precursor to a visit by Pope Francis to Manila next week, which could attract up to 6 million people.
And people crack wise about Kim Jung Un crazies.

I wonder if Pope Frank is having second thoughts....but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
