Paris 2024 Summer Olympics (4 Viewers)

First of all, is the chubby naked blue guy covered with food supposed to be Christ?

I went to 15 years of Catholic school. I got none of that vibe.

And the Last Supper is a Jesus selfie painting by a gay artist that's been part of the cultural vernacular from The Simpsons to the Sopranos. It's not a religious artifact.

The fat bird in the middle is. The 'Supper' in question here is Dionysius. Neither the Olympic committee nor the organiser of the ceremony himself have denied that this was intended to be a vulgar twist on the Last Supper.

The painting is a legendary depiction of a sacred canonical event in Christianity, so of course it has meaning to Christians.

Of course. Regardless of the Last Supper scene, it was still a terrible opening ceremony. Like some dytopian crap you'd expect out of the Hunger Games. For a decorated country like France with all its history and culture, you'd expect a better showcasing than that. If I were French I'd be pissed.

This doesn't even hold a candle to Greece 2004 and London 2012.

I thought the French were alway pretty wild compared to the rest of Europe, both historically and culturally. Is that not correct any more?

Brian Chesky makes me vomit.



France likes edgy, as in my 1992 clip. They find pablum for the masses boring, unexciting, and wholly unoriginal. Anything lacking risk of offense is too neutered to be of any value.

That truly is the French way. A Paris has a tradition ... from the Eiffel Tower, which people hated at first, to the inside-out Pompidou to today.

I'm sick of these themes religions the meaning of this show
It just looked disgusting to me, like I was watching an orgy of gays and trannies . I watched it for 5 minutes.

Their take on the hedonistic nature of Greek God's, in a sport event originated from ancient Greece.

Kinda amazing how many people can’t figure this out.

Lol I actually had to check the other day to see if Richard Funk was competing in these games just so I could watch him!

Ive literally spent the entire day watching all sorts of events today across 3 screens which included 4 hockey matches, skateboarding, China v Korea in the Archery final (Mad that South Korea have always won gold since it became an Olympic sport) swimming including the 100m final, some cross country horses, 2 tennis matches including Coco Gauff and the Andy Murray mens doubles at the same time, 2 football matches, Canada upset the France womens team, yes our num 1 got injured too, hopefully nothing serious.... I think that was everything...

Fuck... my Sunday was so chilled!

@s4tch I really wish this guy was competing in an Olympics for the French team. Fun fact he played with Wemby a couple of years ago at French club Mets 92

 

[Bjerknes]

Are you blaming the Greeks because 2.8 billion people cannot tell the difference between the feast of Dionysus and a blue Jesus covered in food though?

Solid take.

And I’ll translate for people. Christians are fucking retards.

 

[CaesarCod]

Ok, edgy neck beard

 

[duranfj]

What am I watching

I feel bad for the athletes but after this, I cannot watch anything related to this now. They don’t want Christians, so I’m making aware to my Christians relatives, friends and colleagues that France think Last Supper was a freak show

I guess they may feel they are part of a revolution a la Charlemagne or Bonaparte but IMO they are just idiots

Relax, apparently it was only pagan gods they were mocking. That will only upset a minority.

Now, if they'd have gone after Muhammed in France, I'd have been impressed.

France is fuckin lost.

France is fuckin lost.

You're a goddamn moron. Seriously. I'm sorry, but you are. How can you live in this world for decades and have no affinity with the world and people that inhabit it at all? How do you survive for tens of years without ever picking up a grain of knowledge about the countries surrounding you?

France lost? Because you saw a bit of hedonism?

From Louis XIV to Marie-Antoinette to Marquis de Sade to Antoine Griezmann everything about France screams depravity. The very word decadence is French.

But no, France is now 'lost'.

My fucking God.

Read a fucking book.

God, you're so fucking dumb.

This is insane. Is it legal?

 

[s4tch]

...France think Last Supper was a freak show...

it wasn't even about the last supper




it wasn't tasteful, i give it to all the christian karens. but that's all. it wasn't disrespectful, especially not towards christianity.

You have to wonder how the casting process went: "We are looking for a slightly fat dude with a pot belly, no viscible muscle and a complete lack of appealing physical traits.".

I agree. I may seem against them but they should fully enjoy their lives, in jail

Why?

Well, because despite all the claims that this is due to our "woke" era and all, this is what conservative Christians always do. Always do.

In 1988, 35 years before woke was a thing, director Martin Scorsese had a vision to make a movie about Jesus from the perspective of his human side. I mean, the whole point of him even coming to planet Earth in the scriptures was to be alive, to live a life as a humble and poor human, and be crucified as a human to fulfill prophecies, etc. And how else to make the mission of God relatable as a human by living as one himself, right?

Conservative Christians go full retard. There were Catholic terrorist firebombings of theaters, death threats made to Martin Scorsese, boycotts and protests (most from people who never bothered to even see it), evangelists who sought to buy and destroy the film negatives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Temptation_of_Christ_(film)#Controversy

All because Scorsese didn't follow a postcard version of the emaciated Christ with a halo. Instead he explored what it means to be Christ in the image of an imperfect human, to have doubts and have your faith tested. All when the Christian censors wanted to allow nothing more on this human side beyond the Matthew gospel's "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me."

It was no lame film either, being nominated for numerous awards.

If you believe Europeans are strangers to religious fundamentalism, you may want to read up on the last 3000 years of European history.
