Olympics Opening Ceremony

[Anonymous]

Yay for debates on art history, though??

[Anonymous]

this is the least cultured, least tastemaking, dumbest take ever (that the opening ceremonies were religiously offessive). typical dc white people, typical dcurbanmom.

Will this thread be active past the closing ceremonies?

Would it be okay to have made a parody of something from Islam. A parody of Muhammad? I’m asking very seriously.

The Last Supper parody reminded me of a British Pantomime, which I love. But, the Last Supper parody at the Olympics was in very poor taste. Not the time or place. But, no one would ever do this with Muhammad, so why fair game with Jesus?

Because Christian’s won’t blow them the F up.

My point exactly. Or behead them. But, we hide behind “tolerance.” Such hypocrisy.

Even if you think it was the last supper, which seems like a stretch, it was a take on a famous picture. Just like the Mona Lisa also played a role in the ceremony. And it wouldn’t happen with Muhammed because there is no tradition of fine art with images of Muhammed.

Jesus can handle the opening ceremony.

+1 Yes, he forgives all sinners, including those who mock him.

He probably knows what matters. The people there and not feeling slighted with a braised ego.

Jesus loves all people and all people can love jesus. Only bigots think that LGBTQ standing in at the Last Supper (which, again, it wasn't even!!!) is a mockery because they hate LGBT. To assume it is a mockery and not an homage or taking a place at the table is a YOU problem--one that assumes all LGBT are godless, unworthy, mocking people.

You're assuming everyone could tell the people mocking Jesus and the last supper were LGBTQ. Just looked like folks in costumes and one in the middle with a glowing circle around her head.
