My colleague Mary Chastain shared her anger at the opening ceremony antics for the 2024 Paris Olympics, which appeared to mock the Last Supper (snip) Now the Olympics’ organizers are apologizing. (snip) However, the apologies and explanations are replete with moral scoldings, blaming us normals for our reactions. (snip) "it was not the Last Supper. It was a depiction of an ancient Greek Bacchanal." (snip) This sort of educated b---s--- requires you to ignore the simple fact that the Olympic presentation was literally called "La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine," i.e. "The Last Supper on a Stage on the Seine."
They think you're easily gaslighted.

The French language title for the Last Supper painting is "La Cène."

Too little, too late. No one's interested in their mealy mouth excuses. Should have thought ahead. But they did and that was their decision and they thought they'd skate.

Looks like the new mantra is defining what is weird and the liberals think JD Vance is weird. The very, very limited views I have of this ceremony have defined what is weird to me. . .

I'm guessing that viewer ratings for this sham Olympics are in the cellar.

Le J.O. Short form for the games, Jeux Olympiques in French, apparently means Jeux Orgie

But Mitt Romney went on record saying the opening was fantastic!!? Best he’d ever seen.
I guess Mitt doesn’t care if Christianity is mocked.

This is like dumping a shite in the punch bowl and then acting surprised that anyone was offended.

As a part of total diversity, how about the Olympics makes fun of some LGBTQ??? fundamental principles ?

The French are lucky they did not mock Islam. Thousands would be dead and the rest of Olympic would have been cancelled.

How about the rest of the opening ceremony. It wasn't all that great either. Most of it made no sense. I'm still trying to figure out why Lady Gaga was included in this affair, and what was up with the masked idiot in a cape running across rooves carrying the flame? Was it really necessary to have that woman standing in the rain on top of a building singing, or the bunch of people dressed like jokers doing whatever they were doing on a platform in the middle of the river. Just go back to having the countries walk into a stadium and some celebrity light the flame. Even many of the spectators left because they couldn't see anything. The smart ones left and went to a bar.

They left the Maenads out of their "Bacchanal". Also called Bacchantes, they are described as "the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of the thiasus, the god's retinue. Their name, which comes from μαίνομαι (maínomai, “to rave, to be mad; to rage, to be angry”), literally translates as 'raving ones'." (Wikipedia.)
Their thing was to get so high on wine and worshipping Dionysus that they ran through the countryside, tearing apart living creatures (including their own relatives) with their bare hands.
Seems like that would have been just perfect for the trip down the Seine.

Drop dead. I'll not be bothering to watch. Hope their sponsors abandon them, and these jerks lose billions.

Aside from a few minutes of ping pong at a friend's house the other day (thankfully a baseball game came on) I've succeeded in not tuning in any of the Olympics. Plan to keep it that way too! To **ll with them.

Too many stupid pastimes being pawned off as "Olympic events".
Artistic gymnastics?
Solo synchronized swimming??? WHAT?
Artistic swimming.
Rhythmic gymnastics.
Breaking.
Sport climbing.
Cycling BMX racing
Cycling Mountain biking
Surfing.
Squash
3x3 Basketball
A snore a minute. And how is "Mountain biking" different than BMX racing?......Actually, I don't care, it turns out. And WAY too many of these are 100% subjective judging - so the popular kids win, the unpopular kids don't and nobody can say anything. How does ONE PERSON "synchronize" their swimming?

I'm glad we, at our house, have been Olympic free for many years now.

Throw in bad food, power outages, arson, cardboard beds, and cancelled events due to a polluted venue, and you have the French Olympics. At the end of the 1994 Olympics, the IOC head deliberately held back on praise for Atlanta's efforts, due to the problems experienced. Can't wait for his comments this year.
