2) Dean Gets YouTubed
\nSome (Michael Richards or former Sen. George Allen, to name a few) might argue that we were better off a couple years back before YouTube caught every foot-into-mouth insertion. The latest victim of our modern age is the Rev. Msgr. Geoff Baron, Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne, who was filmed unleashing a “torrent of expletives and racist abuse” on a group of young skateboarders outside his cathedral. That very un-Christian outburst of course found its way onto the popular video sharing site, and Baron is now on leave.<\/p>\n

Melbourne skateboarders drove Monsignor Geoff Baron over the edge – and it ended up on YouTube. <\/p>\n

CANBERRA – A Roman Catholic priest who unleashed a torrent of expletives and racist abuse against skateboarders outside his Australian cathedral, only to have the outburst filmed and placed on YouTube, has been put on leave…<\/p>\n

GEOFF Baron, the suspended Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne, has gained international fame for his foul-mouthed, racist and tasteless outburst at a group of skateboarders last year. Footage of the incident made it on to YouTube and resulted in the potty-mouthed priest being stood down. An article about Baron was the fourth most read item on the Guardian Unlimited<\/strong> website yesterday and more than 17,000 people have watched the video.<\/p>\n

Not sure why this made it onto CNN<\/a>. Must be a slow news day. But around here it’s all grist for the mill. Here’s the YouTube video of Roman Catholic Monsignor Geoff Baron having a hairy hissy fit in Melbourne, Australia, cussing a blue streak, and tossing in a few racist remarks just to round out the performance…<\/p>\n

\nAustralian priest in trouble over racist rant on YouTube

Now this is in no way reflective of the Catholic Church as a whole, but it’s difficult not to raise a smile when a man of the cloth is caught red-handed misbehaving. Reverend Monsignor Geoff Baron, the dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne, has just been suspended after a video was posted on YouTube of him entering into a foul-mouthed racist rant at some teenage skateboarders trespassing on his church’s property…<\/p>\n

Things a man of the cloth might say when provoked by a mob of unruly teens:<\/p>\n

a) ‘Oh, I say. Do give it a rest’
\nb) ‘I wish for you to depart this house of god immediately. And please be taking those modern-looking modes of wheel transport with you’
\nc) ‘Your taunting fills me with unbridled rage, though I draw strength and comfort from my solid relationship with Mr. Jesus’
\nd) ‘Unsubscribe’<\/p>\n

How did I miss this?<\/p>\n

Naturally everyone’s firing up. Shitty kids coming over all righteous, an exploding Monsignor making a complete idiot of himself and then apologizing profusely, indignant supporters on both sides, and where there’s a public rumpus there’s always a professional outragist just a harumpf away.<\/p>\n

You can’t buy that kind of entertainment…<\/p>\n

[Tony, the cheeky bugger, then proceeds to re-publish an edited version of my transcript<\/a> of the scintillating conversation between priest and flock… without mentioning the source. What am I, chopped liver? …er, actually, while my status as chopped liver remains uncertain, I was completely wrong to claim this: see comments<\/em>. Sorry Tony.
