They've backtracked, saying they weren't intending to depict the Last Supper at all and people are merely seeing coincidences. Hilariously, claiming this BTFOs any argument that defended the ceremony by saying that poking fun at religion is fine and traditionally french. You can't have your cake and eat it on this one, all-inclusive and parodying religion are mutually exclusive.

>Invited by BFMTV on Sunday morning, Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the ceremony explained. « Was this the Last Supper ? It was not my inspiration (.) I think it was pretty clear, there's Dionysus coming up on this table. He is there because he is god of the holiday [..], wine, and father of Sequana, goddess connected to the river ».
>The director of Starmania continued : « The idea was rather to make a great pagan party related to the gods of Olympus... Olympus... Olympism ». The day before, at a press conference alongside the OCOG and the IOC, he had already recalled that he had « never intended to be sassy and subversive ». « Our intention was to include, do not exclude anyone » had insisted Thomas Jolly.

Parisian kiwi here:

This is such bullshit.

  • There was a 44min lapse between the Last Supper depiction and the entry of Philippe Katerine as Dionysos (yes, that faggy hell was the longest of all the Opening Ceremony scenes).

  • The French public tv has labelled it as the Last Supper (Cène in French) in a since deleted tweet:

  • The bearded drag queen on the right of the picture has called it a "biblical representation" in an interview with BFMTV.
  • And even the fat Jesus lady has praised the "new gay testament" in her Instagram story (soon deleted).

All the degenerates present for this scene are friends with the Ceremony Directors (Thomas Jolly and Daphné Burki), and partake in the Drag Race France scene, adding a nice touch of nepotism to that shitshow.

Edit: the spineless backpedaling makes it worse. Just admit that you fucked up, and are sorry for offending people, instead of trying to gaslight the viewers.

Thanks for putting this all together. You could tell from the blocking of the actors they were going for imitating something, and given the table was right there in the foreground it was probably The Last Supper, but it's hard to know for sure without just seeing the original right in front of you. I just googled the story, and the articles are already distancing themselves from calling it Last Supper. Last Supper is in scare-quotes, adding in weasel words like 'alleged', etc.

Everyone finds trannies and pedos disgusting. Everyone knows these people have something wrong with them. It's just annoying to see the same generic posts in every thread, as if it's a new thing that hasn't already been said a million times.

Then instead of complaining other people aren't posting interesting stories about the Olympics, post one yourself. Just complaining people are talking about the trans Last Supper isn't going to make other posts appear.

The problem isn't if people believe or not in demons (most Christians do), but rather that if the people involved on this do. And the answer is no.

I'm not sure the answer is always 'no'. One might think if one is materialistic or rejects God that one also therefore doesn't believe in immaterial demons. And yet these people go to things like "Spirit Cooking"

Arrests have been made regarding the sabotage of the train line, including an 'ultra-left activist' and 45 members of Extinction Rebellion. It remains to be seen how they can blame the Russians for this.

They'll pretend then the Russians payed them under the table, lol.

And I saw on this French article, then the IOC denied then they retired the ceremony clip due to the controversy, yeah, right.

But one guy dropped a comment asking what do you have against drag queens? And that comment can't be archived on Archive.today and GhostArchive, argh. Still I wonder if someone could repost the meme featuring a duck asking "why kids and why not the others?"

Yes, it's absolutely tremendous. I couldn't imagine a better way to checkmate yourself that hard.

In the last paragraph, the Interior Minister Darmanin is quoted saying "It remains to be seen whether they have been manipulated or are acting in their own interest."
So Russian interference is still on the table.

Other olympic news:
The women's French gymastics team got disqualified in the qualifications round, and the technical director of the Gymnastics Federation claims that their fast elimination was due to them "being out of it" after Marine Boyer , one of their teammates, had a bad fall during warm-up. Source

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo wants to keep the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower, the hot air balloon, and the feminist statues in the Seine as a permanent feature in Paris post-Olympics. Source

Four Russian journalists got their accreditation cancelled yesterday after watching the games just fine previously. No reason was given but Russians speculate that it was revenge for their negative opinion of the opening ceremony. So much for freedom of the press. Source

An American company: C Spire has pulled all of its advertising from the Olympics after the mockery of Christianity during the opening ceremony. Source

I feel like the PRC was snubbed by the judges in women’s gymnastics, esp. floor routine.
