Faux News is Good News
Vatican to Release New Mobile App
Last Saturday the Vatican announced that they would be releasing a new mobile app in time for Christmas. Even though the Vatican has never ventured into this realm before this news comes as no surprise to followers on the new Pope. The Pontifex has made strides forward over the past few years. The previous pope maintained a Twitter account and our current pope has embraced social media and appears to be excelling at it.
With rumors and speculation swirling representatives to the Vatican have said that the app will be very similar in design to NORAD's Santa Tracker app. In a clear display that the Vatican still has a sense of humor while still remaining heavily rooted in their religious roots they have christened the app “Satan Tracker.”
"Whereas before you could track the location of Santa as he makes his legendary flight around the world," said Vatican representative, Holly Erthanthou, "you can now see the location of what truly matters. With all that is happening in the world it is important to remember who is really pulling the strings on the things that cause us grief. With this constant reminder sitting in your pocket we (the Catholic Church) expect to see an increase in business far beyond the holiday season. We believe that our new Satan Tracker App will be a spectacular success."
While the app has not officially been released yet we managed to acquire some screen shots. The first thing you’ll notice upon opening the app is a black screen with the words “Satan Tracker” in white text. After that you are greeted with a map and a single red dot in the center of the screen. The red dot grows larger until it fills the entire screen. Then bold text appears on the screen and it says, "EVERYWHERE!”
Look for this new release for your Apple or Android device this holiday season.
What do you think? Is the Vatican onto something, or have they finally gone over the deep end? Let us know in the comments!
