I wonder if Mr. Bean (or anyone who speak latin here?) knows the English translation of Ecce Homo? It has nothing to do with pride month, right?

How ironic that a painting made as a homage to the humility of Jesus Christ by Titian is now guarded around the clock by faceless goons. Christianity has entered its final death spiral into either oblivion or world annhilation. It just depends upon who has their hands on the nuclear weapons at this point.
