The last time Metro dipped its toes into the exciting world of internet video, DCist was the first to share their low-budget, Peeps going to Nationals Park spectacular. Our readers enjoyed that one so much, Metro just tipped us off to their latest effort, titled “Strangers on a Train”, which aims to pimp their special Papal Mass Pass. The pass itself is a good idea: it costs a flat $9, and gives those who plan to follow Pope Benedict XVI around town when he arrives to give a special mass at Nationals Park on April 17 unlimited rides all day.

The promotional video above, however, eschews some of the silly charm found in the Peeps video in favor of downright creepiness. We’re totally fine with a Pope bobblehead taking Metro. Heck, the more bobbleheads we encounter on public transportation, the better. But the idea of sitting near a large man chanting to said bobblehead in monotone Latin on a train just makes us want to switch seats. At least Metro employs some more brutally fun puns later in the video: “Avoid the unholy traffic. Take Metro.” Sure thing, WMATA. Just lay off the chanting.
