Someone explain this video to me. Seriously. Because my thoughts on four tanned and sexy acrobats making a human tower for a religious audience including the soon-to-be-ex-Pope Benedict are, briefly:
1. Those four men have NO BODY HAIR. Like Ken dolls.
2. Slow, coordinated half-striptease. The Pope is riveted.
3. What is Emma Peel doing acting as wardrobe assistant for this act?
4. Tight white pants and video closeups nicely display acrobats' assets. Pope still riveted. Cameraman seems to have a similar problem.
5. Straps holding pants perfectly in place while upside down.
6. But still no hair! Plastic people, very disturbing.
7. Pope: thousand-yard stare while he thinks of holy things, or just trying to keep his tongue in his mouth?
8. Most people are staying seated and applauding politely, but a gang of nuns are on their feet waving handkerchiefs. Do they like this as much as the Pope?
9. WHERE IS THEIR BODY HAIR?
I mean, I recognize the talent and strength on display here, but somehow they are not the first thing one notices.
