[QUOTE]A Catholic diocese in the [URL="http://www.theguardian.com/world/philippines"]Philippines[/URL] has suspended a member of its clergy for welcoming parishioners to the final blessing of the Christmas Eve mass on a hoverboard.
The priest, at the diocese of San Pablo in Laguna, was filmed riding the self-balancing scooter up and down the aisles, to the applause and evident delight of some of the congregation.
The diocese issued a statement in the form of [URL="https://www.facebook.com/214092855420817/photos/a.214100022086767.1073741828.214092855420817/533942713435828/?type=3&theater"]an image post[/URL] on its Facebook page on Tuesday night.
“As a way of greeting his parishioners, the priest sang a Christmas song, while going around the nave standing on a hoverboard,” it said. “That was wrong.”[/QUOTE]

The church has allowed worse things to go unpunished.

Isn't a priest supposed to make the faith and churchgoing experience more interesting?
Priest riding around on a hoverboard?
That's... radical Christianity.

Yeah child rape seems a bit worse than this.
I'd still love to know why it's called a hoverboard when it has wheels...

Money. And Back To The Future. Mostly money.
I can't believe I lived to see this.
What a time to be alive
For the 100th time...

They call it a hoverboard because you feel like you're gliding across the ground when you use it.
Should've covered over the lights and got a longer robe so you can't see the board, that would've been better.
Not something I'd expect in the Philippines, I admit.
The Tech Priests are coming....

The alternatives are 'self-balancing two-wheeled electric scooter' and 'swegway'
I have, to date, yet to see a white person on one of these in the wild

My personal favorite is 'wheelboard'.
I honestly cant see why people are so annoyed by these things.

None of those are named after a very well known science fiction object.
It's like people that call cars with wings "flying cars" when they're not, they're just planes with the hull shaped like a car.
I only ever heard them referred to as iohawks until recently.
I think that's better than hoverboard
Yeah, only the higher ranks of the clergy are allowed such luxuries.
How reckless! That could've started a fire!
Priest uses hoverboard and gets suspended. Priest sexually abuses a child and gets moved to Rome. Fucking disgusting.

The eye is the control buttons.
The size of tic tacks are reasonably similar to that of both tics and tacks, and plus this is a food/candy type item so its not exactly rare for silly names.
Don't know much about planes but it's still a plane.
Hoverboards are competing with the likes of surfboards, longboards, skateboards in the name game except it's both inaccurate and borrowing a pop sci-fi term for easy advertising. Tbh it's not that big of a deal, but to compare it to tic tacs is just lazy.

"Hoverboards" is also just a colloquialism, afaik no company actually uses the phrase themselves so the "free advertising" argument is invalid. I don't even know why I care to post this, I don't even own one, it just bugs me how much people care about a phrase. No one thinks they're actual hoverboards unless they're mentally impaired.

What a bunch of tight-asses.
There are mobility scooters called Hoverounds and those use wheels as well, who cares
