A mainstay of Internet humor for years, subtitled parodies of the 2004 World War II film drama Downfall have featured a ranting Adolf Hitler touching on every topic du jour under the sun.

I’ve never been a fan of those parodies. Having seen the original film and being a student of history, I just don’t find them in good taste. There are some people who should not be allowed to become figures for humor and satire in that way. Just my 2 cents. Your mileage may vary.

I agree with you, but I don't consider Jorge Bergoglio to be one of those "exempt" figures. I was upset when the British cartoon series, Popetown, came out shortly after the election of Pope Benedict XVI. I thought it was very disrespectful of both the man and his office.
Bergoglio, the man, disrespects not only his office and his predecessors, he disrespects the very religion he claims to profess. He's a loose cannon.
Apologies. In re-reading my comment I realize that I was not clear. I was referring to Hitler, not the Pope. These parodies trivialize one of the great monsters of history.
