Pope Francis Reverses Position On Capitalism After Seeing Wide Variety Of American Oreos - The Onion

WASHINGTON—Admitting the startling discovery had compelled him to reexamine his long-held beliefs, His Holiness Pope Francis announced Tuesday that he had reversed his critical stance toward capitalism after seeing the immense variety of Oreos available in the United States. “Oh, my goodness, look at all these! Golden Oreos, Cookie Dough Oreos, Mega Stuf Oreos, Birthday Cake Oreos—perhaps the system of free enterprise is not as terrible as I once feared,” said the visibly awed bishop of Rome while visiting a Washington, D.C. supermarket, adding that the sheer diversity of flavors, various colors and quantities of creme filling, and presence or absence of an outer fudge layer had led to a profound philosophical shift in his feelings toward the global economy and opened his eyes to the remarkable capabilities of the free market. “Only a truly exceptional and powerful economic system would be capable of producing so many limited-edition and holiday-themed flavors of a single cookie brand, such as these extraordinary Key Lime Pie Oreos and Candy Corn Oreos. This is not a force of global impoverishment at all, but one of endless enrichment.” At press time, the pontiff had reportedly withdrawn his acceptance of capitalism, calling any system that would unleash a Roadhouse Chili Monster Slim Jim on the public “an unholy abomination.”

So, will he choose Ketchup or Catsup?

I concur with the Pontiff on the Roadhouse Chili Monster Slim Jim. Unholy or not, that thing is an abomination.

I ponder what the Pontiff thinks about Colonel (Bernie) Sanders proposal that there should be only one type of de-odorant available to the unwashed masses.

Where I grew up, de-odorant was known as an Italian shower. One would think that, living in Rome, he would have some experience with that.
