And the Award for Most Boring TV Program Goes to…

"Pope Benedict XVI will launch a week-long, round-the-clock live televised Bible-reading relay in October, state broadcaster RAI said Thursday.
The head of the Roman Catholic Church will read the opening book Genesis, with transmission beginning on October 5 on Italy’s main terrestrial station. It is not clear if his contribution will be pre-recorded.
Individuals from a multitude of backgrounds and walks of life, including Protestants and Jews, and, RAI hopes, Muslims, will then take turns to read out the remainder of the 73 books without commentary.
The reading will close on October 11 with the 22nd chapter of the Apocalypse, read by the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone."
Boy, that should make for some exciting television… I think they should invite Kathy Griffin to read a part of it. She’d be perfect for this!
