So this might be stretching the definition of "funny picture" a bit, but I read Jack Chick's conspiratorial comic "The Godfathers", which basically alleges that the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great Depression, both World Wars, and a bunch of crazy other shit were engineered by the Vatican. Also, the KKK was allegedly formed by the Vatican, and the KKK's stand against Catholics is actually a result of Vatican spies masquerading as Protestants pretending to hate Catholics to throw suspicion off the Vatican.
If you are curious, here is that comic. It's one big image, so I stuck it behind the spoiler tag.
Holy fucking shit! What a blowhard. The allegedly true stories are said to have come from Alberto Rivera, a man claiming to have been an ex-Jesuit priest. Chick has published some supporting books trying to convince skeptics of Alberto's authenticity, such as Is Alberto for Real? Here is an excerpt. CHARGE NO. 3
Rivera's "Conspiracy Theory" is extreme and paranoid.
Answer: There are only two ways in which world history can be explained:
1. The accidental theory. All events, such as those world depressions, revolutions, wars and political plots are the results of pure chance. Such a view is as ridiculous as belief in evolution!
2. The conspiratorial theory. World events such as mentioned above, take place because some influential people want them to happen and make them happen. People with power meet behind closed doors and work out plans to achieve their aims. The most precise way to describe such conduct is - conspiracy.
To us, the conspiratorial theory makes far more sense than the accidental theory. The conspiracy claims Rivera has made are by no means extreme and paranoid. Indeed, many respected and thorough researchers have, after many years of painstaking research, come to the conclusion that there is a conspiracy at work which desires to control the world by controlling the banks, commerce and the media. |

In unrelated news, "unfriend" is the Word of the Year.  |

Legosi and Blade are just overkill, The Count could make mincemeat out of Edward alone. |
