g0177325: And for original full image...

How is this image not blasphemous?

Posting an image of a oneself as the Pope during papal mourning?

This act is deeply contemptuous of the sacred office of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ, and deeply disrespects grieving Catholics.

When John Lennon offhandedly said of The Beatles, "We're more popular than Jesus," Christians led a wave of protests, record burnings, and boycotts.

When Andres Serrano exhibited a red and yellow photograph of a crucifix plunged into a vat of his own urine he sparked congressional debates and the photograph -- along with a companion piece of a meditating nun -- was physically attacked and destroyed.

But, hey, this is just Mad King Donald being Mad King Donald. Good fun all around.
