Sometimes it's not the people who change; it's the Mask that falls off.
Ooooooh another nice one bro
Just joking around.
Da Vinci depicting the Last Supper with a bunch of Italian CACs is just as offensive
It’s all good brother, I don’t get sensitive like that
Illuminati symbolism and LGBTQ agenda all over the opening ceremony.
The messaging is so apparent that it cannot be disputed or debated that there is a clear push against basic morality and the sanctity of religious belief--and this is coming from a guy who considers himself a nondenominational agnostic theist.

Dude from geeks and gamers is a character. Bet any amount of money dude kept that opening ceremony video on repeat.
I actually met Ryan in real life, and he's cool as fuck. Y'all take the internet way too serious.
Isn't the country based on freedom? Why are you so offended on people exercising that? Doesn't show that it's working?

Olympics organizers apologize to Christians over ‘Last Supper’ parody

The organizers of the Paris Olympics apologized to Christian and Catholic groups on Sunday over a parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” painting that was part of last week’s opening ceremony.
The segment on Friday copied the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles sharing the last meal before his crucifixion, but it included drag queens, a transgender individual and a nude singer.
“Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [The opening ceremony] tried to celebrate community tolerance,” Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps said at a news conference on Sunday, responding to the backlash that erupted in the aftermath of the performance.
“We believe this ambition was achieved,” the spokesperson added. “If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry.”
The International Olympic Committee said in a later statement that it has “taken note of and welcomes the clarification given by the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee regarding the Opening Ceremony.”
“In the daily press briefing, the Organizing Committee said that there was never any intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief. They reiterated that their intention with the Opening Ceremony was always to celebrate community and tolerance,” the statement continued, adding that the intention wasn’t to offend anyone and that “they were sorry.”
The ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, has attempted to distance his scene from any “Last Supper” parallels after the ceremony, saying during a news conference that it was meant to celebrate “diversity” and “to include everyone.”
The apology was made after thousands of people on social media said they would boycott the Olympic Games after the ceremony, with many using a boycott-related hashtag to express their displeasure.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church in France said it deplored a ceremony that “included scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity.” Archbishop Charles Scicluna, the highest-ranking Catholic official in Malta and an official for the Vatican’s powerful doctrinal office, said his office complained to France’s ambassador to Malta.
“I would like to express my distress and great disappointment at the insult to us Christians during the opening ceremony … when a group of drag artists parodied the Last Supper of Jesus,” the archbishop wrote on social media.
Italian Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the head of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life, wrote on social media that “the mockery of the Last Supper” at the Paris Olympics “reveals a profound question.”
Responding to separate gaffe at the ceremony, Olympic Games organizers said they “deeply apologize” for introducing South Korea’s athletes as North Korea during the opening ceremony in Paris.
As the South Korean athletes waved their nation’s flag on a boat floating down the Seine River on Friday, they were announced in both French and English as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, a country that’s technically still at war with South Korea, also called the Republic of Korea.
“We deeply apologize for the mistake that occurred when introducing the Korean team during the opening ceremony broadcast,” the International Olympic Committee said in a post on social media platform X in Korean, according to a translation.
International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams told reporters that the error was “clearly deeply regrettable.”
“An operational mistake was made,” Adams said in response to a question from a South Korean journalist during a news conference on Saturday. “We can only apologize, in an evening of so many moving parts, that this mistake was made.”
