At first I was annoyed by the constant coverage, then I began to watch because there is nothing else on, and now I am sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for them to come out and speak lol. I need a life...

Why did you think it was important to share that you're an atheist?

Sweet, now they can get back to business: denouncing gays, molesting children (then shielding those who are guilty), and laundering money.

Depending upon your industry, the news could even impact business issues.
Maybe so.....

But I don't think it's worth preempting my local noon news over.

Personally, I found Kate and Will's wedding much more interesting than this non-stop coverage of the selection of the new pope.

Hopefully they elect that mafia-connected cardinal from Milan so we can hear him say "I dont-a know-a nothing-a about-a what-a ya talking about-a... They are all-a legitimata businessmen..."

Oh, wait they already announced it...
