People who get upset over everything are upset. More at 11.

It was not the last supper but a representation of the greek god Bacchus, since of course the Olympics have a greek origin. I find it funny that christians got so triggered.

NBC didn’t even broadcast this part of the ceremonies, people who are upset about this are looking to get upset.

The entire opening ceremony was riddled with elements that were exaggerated specifically to give the middle finger to people who can't help but force their personal religious beliefs on others. And seeing how riled up they've been getting over it, I must say it worked.

This is really killing me. The Last Supper is a fucking painting. It ain't in the book. There's no part of the Bible where it says and Jesus sat down at a stupidly long table and all of his asshole Apostle sat down on the same side and posed weirdly. Why is the painting suddenly holy? Since when do conservatives like art? I've never met a conservative who didn't want to burn most paintings.

Dipshits don’t even get it’s this based on this painting https://musee-magnin.fr/en/node/19 which is in a French museum, about the gods of Olympus, and includes the lyre you see in the recreation. It’s not the last supper which is in Italy and not in France. Similar framing of course - clearly on purpose - but who cares. What dumbasses, outrage machine go burrr

I wish conservative Christians were educated enough to know what a bacchanalia is.

Imagine you're the master race, confident and strong and then some people wear different clothes than you expected on TV and your whole world is just shattered lol.

Oh no, the poor christians and conservatives who rather see us at the burning stake than acknowledge that their God created us queer-people just like we are. Fuck em that they felt hurt looking at this display, we were and are constantly hurt!

I'm a Christian for 13 years, I see this all the time Nowadays and it actually fortifies my beliefs even more, because our bible and particularly our Jesus, said would happen in the last days before he returns. If only you all had faith you could appreciate the magnitude of what's to come, heaven isn't a place in the sky, it's another world ruled by aliens thar have been around long enough to create us and this entire universe.

Hilarious comment from an article I read. Meanwhile,I thought Da Vinci was excommunicated.

Surely there have never been any parodies of the Last Supper before this one.

(I'm partial to this one)

It was supposed to be the Last Supper?

I totally didn't get that.

Also, I was hoping for a real drag show when I saw them, but instead I got a sort of "gender bent catwalk" thing. Boo.

NBC's coverage only detracted from the ceremony. They cut most of the fashion show. And the hosts did nothing to explain or put the various acts in cultural context.

For those who don't like the queer fashion show, no one is forcing you to watch it. It's a cultural expression of the host country. It's like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

Religious bigots offended, yet again

I'm also pissed at the Olympics this year, mostly because I got stuck one hour on the road, but maybe I just don't want to admit how dumb I was to not avoid Paris on my trip to the west... nah it's them! not me!

Rankled is a kind of default status of most conservatives, and the way I most prefer them to be.

I like them to be discomfited too.

And stilted. Stilted is nice.
