Worst. Presentation. Skills. Ever.

I just can’t imagine the unfamiliarity you would have to have with modern technology to screw up this badly.

A priest in the Diocese of Scranton has been removed as administrator of three Throop parishes after he inadvertently displayed four photos of what a diocese spokesman called “minimally attired adult males” before the 8 a.m. Mass at St. Bridget’s Church on Oct. 25.

The Rev. Edward P. Lyman was using his personal computer to project an informational DVD about the diocesan Annual Appeal fundraiser when he accidentally showed the “inappropriate personal photographs” that were stored on his computer, according to a diocesan statement read at the Throop Masses on Sunday.

Don’t you just hate it when you hit the “porn” button instead of play?

Have you ever been giving a presentation and something is not going right? Seriously, seconds can seem like hours. Your body goes numb. It’s horrible. How slow would time be going for this guy when he realized he put up his man pictures instead of the DVD?

But what the Sheol was this guy thinking? I mean everyone knows that you split your hard-drive and bury your porn in a password protected folder before giving a presentation…

I mean…

Uhhhh…

That’s what I’ve heard… from other bibliobloggers… yeah… other bibliobloggers who I have been counseling through their addiction, and shall have to remain anonymous to respect their process.

So anyways, back to the story:

Another priest, who in this case we will identify as Rev. Obvious, commented, “This event was greatly disturbing to those who were present at St. Bridget’s.”

Gee, you don’t say.

    I love that this happened during 8 a.m. mass! That’ll wake you up! “Aw man, I just can’t be bothered going to work to… WTF?!?” I’m sure time didn’t just stand still for our gay-curious priest.

      Jim,

      p3wnage means in videogamer terms: major ownage, some one getting owned, not being in control of an event, so to speak.
