Vatican balcony scene...


Was there really an incident that involved the Pope smacking someone in the balcony of St. Peter's??

In "Take the money and Run" Woody Allen had the "side effects" of turning into a rabbi. Audience reponse was dead silence and not laughter when I saw it.
No, there is those little jabs at the Catholic and Jewish religions. The really bad thing is not making such jokes, but that they are not funny. I don't care if you are religious or not religious.

A really funny guy would write something that would have people cracking up so much that even the Catholics and jews would have to smile or laugh.

But if he wanted to make a comment about anti-semtism I don't think it worked.
