Last night my wife and I went to a wedding for a family member.  Thanks to horrific directions we were a little late to the full mass service and thankfully missed most of the boring stuff.  We came in just in time to see them give their vows and say "I do".  YAY!
 
That's not the weird part.  Right after the 'I do' and the kiss the priest ask us all the "raise you right arm for blessing".  Slowly everyone there raised their right arms straight out and a little above their heads.  My wife and I gawked in horror as all 200 people there looked as though they were praising Hitler.  It took a few seconds but folks started to realize what was going on and they put their arms into a more natural, less Nazi position.  Hell, the camera-man was standing behind us whispered "oh that's just wrong."
 
Needless to say I was worried since I knew at any second that either Nazis or Nazi Zombies would appear at any moment and I left my shotgun at home.
