As reported in Sunday’s local papers Clover Moore the Mayor of Sydney had set a 5 p.m. deadline on Friday the 13th for a payment for the use of Hyde Park during World Youth Day. Clover checked and checked her account over the weekend and was very disappointed to discover the missing $150,000 had failed to come through from the Catholic Church.
So Clover pulled out the big guns and has basically told the good folk over at Saint Mary’s to find somewhere else to sell their bobble headed B16 and JC dolls and postcards with B16 on a surfboard wondering to himself “Where the hell are the brakes on this thing.” The reply from the Catholic Church was to claim the Iemma Government was footing the bill. Which Jinx is sure has come as a bit of a shock to a number of New South Walemen who aren’t Catholic and two since when does a elected Government start picking up the bill for religious events?
The money the Sydney Council is asking for is the re turfiing and general maintenance for Hyde Park which will act as a focal point for a number of events for the 250,000 pilgrims. It is also a chance for the the crew over at Saint Mary’s to make some cold hard cash selling! selling! selling! t-shirts, hoodies, caps and Lord knows what else. The Jinx crew is eagerly awaiting to see what type of highly questionable religious icons will be on sale. Will there be a Jesus with his heart on fire now available as a key ring or a weeping statue of Mary now available in 15cms and 25 cms? The bad taste items are truly endless.
At this stage no farther information has been forth coming about the payment, at this stage Jinx would be asking if it’s possible to get a credit card imprint from God just to smooth a few ruffled feathers. The Jinx’s crew MUST have a few dodgy World Youth Day items to purchase or we’ll just be praying all the time and eating dodgy sausages in between prays. The crew needs poorly printed and made t-shirts telling everyone how much we are enjoying own “eternal” lives or caps with WYD08 in terrible orange and purple combinations that will make anyone with epilepsy fall to the ground in a fit. If we don’t have that why bother going at all? We must have the dodgy merchandise stalls in Hyde Park so Catholic Church hurry up and pay the bill. We’re sure you have a few dollars laying around in the Vatican Bank you could use.
