27/04/05 Graffiti

According to Mitch someone has daubed graffiti on a fence at Dalkeith Country Park,
(an idyllic spot, popular with picnicking families).
The offending graffiti says "POPE = NIGGER".
The author obviously has a diversified portfolio of prejudice, combining racial and religious bigotry. He/she must have been moved by the recent machinations involved in electing a new pontiff, and felt a need to comment publicly on his/her opinions on the relative worthiness of God's "Emissary on earth".
In the absence of a successful removal of this graffiti, it could perhaps be altered to lessen its general offensiveness?
I'd thought initially of changing it to "POPE = SNIGGER".
This removes the racist component completely. It could be inferring positively, that the Pope has a very good sense of humour, and furthermore that any amount of time in his company is likely to produce a good snigger or chortle of some kind.
However, it may be interpreted negatively as a sneering reference to the Pontiff, in the sense that he and his position, are a figure of fun, and not worthy of serious contemplation. So this remedy wouldn't be entirely satisfactory.
My other thought would be to turn the slogan into a complex algebraic equation, eg (Pope - 1)/3.5 = (6.2 * Nigger)/(3a + 2b)
This would be seen as a revolutionary use of Mathematics to dilute the offensiveness quotient of ned graffiti purveyors.
One of the main criticisms of learning Mathematics at school is that there is very little demonstration of the practical application of the concepts taught.
This would surely go a long way to alleviating this unsatisfactory situation.
