BBC scraps pope cartoon: The Associated Press reports that protests from Roman Catholics have led the BBC to abandon plans for a cartoon featuring Pope John Paul II on a pogo stick. Popetown starred Ruby Wax as the voice of the pontiff and Jerry Hall as a fame-hungry nun. More than 6,000 Catholics signed a petition opposing the cartoon, which featured corrupt cardinals and an infantile pope.
