The Pope's coming to my home town
I made this!
So I have written him a welcome letter. Can anyone think of some way I could actually make sure he sees it? I have a vague plan involving balloons

Good plan
His Popemobile is bulletproof, but word is it's not too hot against blunt trauma.

He's got to get out of it at some point.
It's just a waiting game.

Popemobile
I used to work for the company that made the popemobile's windows. Frankly, I don't fancy your chances - that's massively laminated toughened glass, approaching 2" thick. By the time you blunt forced your way in, you'd be surrounded by some very hefty people advising you to stop. As wretched as it is that we're paying for this visit, he's technically a visiting head of state and so has to be afforded //mentally// good security, seen and unseen.
(psst - go for the tyres...)

well, we're only paying for his meetings with the queen and local dignatries
We're not paying for those masses. Except having the M77 closed and turned into a carpark.

Mentally good?
Seen and unseen? You mean, like, the Emperor's guard? A whole smattering of Force-weilding red-cloaked Swiss guard? Hmm...

Alas...
Tyres are kevlar reinforced steel weave with foam inserts to stop catastrophic deflation.
High wattage laser wouldn't even notice the glass.
For me though, modulated microwave beam, Let him stand on a balcony, call down the blessings of god on the crowd and then just burst into flame.

Best answer.
I would pay quite a lot of money to see this happens.

PA equipment strapped to a small vehicle
If you get some small but potent PA Speakers that dont draw too much power like the Mackie 350's, strap them onto the back of a small vehicle, and wire them up to a couple of large car batteries running from a couple of transformers, get your vehicle infront of his convoy for the duration of the song and job done.

I'm not sure how well he actually speaks English.
He might not get the gist at all.

Probably not.
I would assume that he's fluent in German and Italian though. ;)

He's a few foot above most people in his pope mobile,
so you could probably print it in large text on the top of a bus stop if he passes one.

Really?
The pope was conscripted into Hitler Youth but didn't attend meetings - membership was required by law for all 14yr old boys, does this make him a Nazi?

We're getting our hate on here - no good spoiling it with common sense.
Although after Ratzinger's latest confused ramblings about "Atheist Extremism" (and trying to associate this with nazism) I'd be up for a bible-burning, except that this would kind of prove his point.

The pope can be criticised on many things, but joining the nazis when the only alternative was joining the jews, gypsies and gays is lame and lazy. What would you have done?
