Other Similarities Between Satan and Barack Obama
ANY WHICH WAY BUT LUCIFER DEPT.
They always say that to keep things pleasant, you should avoid discussing politics and religion. Apparently no one told that to The History Channel’s show The Bible – which managed to combine both! Many eagle-eyed (by which we mean “non-blind”) viewers felt that a certain Prince of Darkness on the show looked an awful lot like a certain commander in chief!

MAD Breaking News: "We Have a Pope"
WE THE PAPAL DEPT.
Overheard at Pope Benedict’s Farewell Address
HOLY SEEING IS BELIEVING DEPT.
Pope Benedict XVI made his retirement official yesterday with a farewell address to the faithful at St. Peter’s Square — but with a crowd of thousands in attendance, there was much more to be heard than Benedict’s monotone Latinate mumbling!
Pope Benedict’s Last Minute To-Do List
As anyone who has ever left a job will tell you, there are always lots of loose ends to be tied up before walking out the door. And, good Lord, it’s no different with Pope Benedict XVI, who will resign his papacy on Thursday.

The Startling Similarities and Differences Between Chris Brown and Jesus Christ
After reportedly assaulting Frank Ocean, Chris Brown posted a picture on Instagram of Jesus on the cross, with the message “Painting the way I feel today.” Awww, poor fella. Heavy is the head that wears the thorny crown! Still, we got to thinking, maybe we’re being too hard on Chris—especially if he IS the second coming! Which got us thinking about…
MAD Exclusive: The Prayer Mitt Romney Left in Israel's Wailing Wall
Recently presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney made a holy pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where, just like any other divinely-inspired traveler, he was immediately showered with over a million dollars in campaign donations. Romney even visited the Wailing Wall — world-renowned for its cracks packed with the written prayers of visitors. Always respectful of local customs (and the opportunity to sway impressionable Jewish-American voters), Mitt stuffed in a prayer of his own. The Idiotical has an exclusive look at what Romney wrote on his slip of paper. Don’t believe us? Have a little faith!
Other Explosive Vatican Secrets Revealed by the Pope's Butler
