Remember how I ranted a few months ago about totally un-1337 people and organisations lamely embracing technology to try and sell their message?

Even religion — smarting from the way that younger generations are beginning to turn away in droves — is embarrassing itself by attempting to use technological tools to reconnect with tha kidz. The Catholic Church has well and truly entered the 1990s by discovering the power of mobile phone SMS. They have been sending text messages to worshippers in the false hope that using semi-literacy for Bible passages will bring them instant cred.

Well, now the Pope has sent his first text message. And it’s an apostrophe FAIL.

“Young friend, God and his people expect much from u because u have within you the Fathers (sic) supreme gift: the Spirit of Jesus - BXVI.”

Aaaaargh!!1!
