Don't touch that little boy, Neo.

This is a poster that's being distributed by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in order to help recruit priests. I soooo want one! I about pissed myself when I saw it. Wouldn't it make a great conversation piece in the Goat Paddock/Cybertron?

Here's a little more info about the creation of the poster:

Father Meyer said the poster, on which he is featured as the "Matrix"-style priest, had its origins in a skit that he saw during his first year at the North American College, the U.S. seminary in Rome. The skit, put on by a group of older seminarians, was based on the film. In it, a group of priests fought Satan in a series of mock martial-arts confrontations. The concept was really brought to life, however, in a meeting with the archdiocese's Youth Council. During the meeting, the concept of Father Meyer dressing up as Neo, Reeves' character in "The Matrix," was jokingly suggested by one of the students. "It was one of those things where everyone laughs and then you move on to the next topic. Only after the meeting, I came back to this one," Father Meyer explained.
