Can you imagine the excitement at the Vatican yesterday when 4 hunky Russian acrobats whipped their shirts off before performing for the Pope? Well, see for yourself:

It looks so awkward so very very awkward.

Besides are they not suppose to kneel or something when approaching the Pope?

It looked normal to me. I didn't see it as awkward. Afterall, he was just sitting there and licking his lips waiting for them to finish and meet him in his room. Right? I think that is called anxious. Not awkward.

Probably came all over his red Prada booties.

If only the walls in that place could talk. I bet they have some amazing stories to tell.
