"Last Supper" depiction at Olympics Opening Ceremony

Lol how much out of a 4 hour show is cuasing uproar like it was the entire show?

**** me, go touch some grass and breathe some fresh air. The Twitter echo chamber gets visibly worse every time it rears it's head.

haha that's hilarious, I was literally just watching this episode when I read that post. 😂

That's pretty standard, the Euros, World Cup etc do copyright strikes over any unauthorized sharing of footage. Even the Eurovision tends to be like that. Guessing it's because they want to maximize revenue.

non binary advertising.

thats how you should think of this. when too many adverts pop up you sigh, not because you're opposed to the product, but because they just wont shut up about it.

people with a minority sexuality get an entire month to harp on about it. theres enough stunning and brave already. can they not just leave the olympics out of it.

thats the muslims you're thinking of.

they dont like the gays.

but they're right about women.

Honestly atm, it's just sounding like homophobes getting offended by the inclusion of a drag act. And most people are fine with it.

Maybe they will stop when people stop being outraged by it.

People making threads crying about it is only confirmation that it is still an issue.

i dont dislike gays or women.

constant political advertising does tire me though.

That drag queen fashion show segment seemed to go on for about an hour, tbf

Oh well naturally youd assume everyone shares all of your opinions.

The intrusiveness of culture war nonsense is somewhat tiresome.

Especially when you know the disappointing commercial reasons behind much of it.

I haven't read all posts, but do folks know that The Last Supper is just a painting? It's not even a realistic portrayal of a supper: it has everyone sitting on one side of the table.

Anyone offended by this scene from M*A*S*H (1970)?

I did not even twig that is what it was until I saw this thread. I spent most of my time wondering will the fat one start dancing. Or will one of them slip in the water while doing tumbles.

Years ago a certain bookmaker did the last supper in an advert

I remember it because an elderly friend of my parents who was in his 90's "Boycotted" them because of it.

There is also a famous painting depicting the last supper with Marylin Monroe as Jesus. Along with Hollywood stars.

The OP asked why averts do not take the piss out of Jews or Muslims?

The answer is simple Christians (Catholic's in particular) have lost a lot of respect for their religious institutions because of Child Abuse scandals and the way Catholicism controlled certain states from top to bottom. Ireland was one.

So it is an easy target. You cannot target Jews because of claims of anti-semitism and they view themselves as an homogenous people. Plus images of the holocaust are constant reminders on history programmes.

You cannot attack Muslims because those who take grave offence go on a jihad. Or put out fatwah's.

So the Christian religion is "fair game" as there are not much repercussions. As there are very few countries left in the world where the Christian religion has strong control.

In short most people don't give a sh!te, and those who care at all cannot cause much repercussions.

If the OP really cared he/she/whatever would go on crusade in protest. But that is not going to happen. Much easier to create a boards.ie thread.

is there a single issue where you dont follow the leftist view?

I love how much Bambithug upset these fools. Of all the things in the "culture wars" the re-emergence of freaking out about metalers and goths as satan worshippers must be the most surprising and pathetic.

I don't subscribe to left or right wing views. I have opinions on many different things, nothing to do with left or right. But I will say, I have been called both on this site.

Its s bit sad, imo, reducing all things to 'left or right '
