Bankrupt Archdiocese Plans 'Huge Blow-Out Sale'
Scott Ott brings us the exclusive inside story of how the Archdiocese of Boston is planning to raise some quick cash. Lord knows they're going to need it....
"Crazy Bernie says 'Everything Must Go!'," reads a script for the planned TV ads. The spots feature a maniacal looking Cardinal Bernard Law, waving his hands recklessly and shouting:
"Rather than confess what our priests did to the children, we're going bankrupt. But tough times for the archdiocese mean super deals for you. It's a huge blow-out sale. Everything must go down to the bare walls. Gold, incense, myrrh, statues, confessional booths, even those cute little hats and robes. We've still got a few Papal indulgences from the old days, and we're sacrificing them at rock-bottom prices."
Yo, Monsignor.... How much for one of them there pointy-hat thingees???
