It doesn't really have to make sense does it?  It seems like it can be interpreted many ways even among those who performed it.  It doesn't really matter and any one who ever watched an d enjoyed South Park can't really claim to be offended by it. I mainly shared the article after someone in this thread made a comment in response to something I wrote questioning whether Rocket would admit he was wrong about it being the last supper (or something to that affect...I don't really care to go through old pages to find the original comment).

It doesn't have to,  but everything else in the opening ceremony had a connection to french culture or Olympics. It would seem odd to me if they randomly added a depiction of an Italian painting that's housed in Italy

Grandstanding?

This you?

Unfortunately, for the creator, people jumped on the whole "Last Supper" thing before he could clarify that it wasn't meant to be the Last Supper and now they are too far down the rabbit hole to step back and admit they were wrong to be outraged in the first place.

Especially considering what the CREATOR has stated of it

On a positive note, my cousin's daughter is competing in rowing/double sculls and her finals is on the 1st. She cannot take the gold but can still medal. On an even more positive not, my cousin and 13 other Serbs are in Paris and doing their best to drink Paris out of beer and anything thing else they can get. He did mention earlier today that the French cannot make a drink worth a damn.

Note--while the Serbs arrived from MKE, his daughter is on the USA team.

Rooting for your cousin. Enjoy this moment no matter what the outcome is.

[Uncle Rico]

thank you jutaw!   classic!  just like deep fake videos...can't believe what we are seeing.  still waiting for the Islam version.  maybe the closing ceremony.  i'm ready with my interpretation

I won't watch.  I'm boycotting from my non-violated couch.  WWJD?

She fell apart after a disagreement with the umpire. That comes on the heels of her collapse at Wimbledon.

Maybe there's too much pressure on her - from herself or others - and she needs a break.

Or maybe it's just a matter of a young athlete continuing to mature. Seems she's been around forever but she's only 20.

Well, she's young but experienced.  And talented enough to win like 10 Majors.  Hopefully she figures it out.  I think we agree a bad line call shouldn't derail her.  That said, it's dumb they don't use Hawkeye or replay at the French. 

[Uncle Rico]

Great Britain has as many gold medals as us

[CreightonWarrior]

Great Britain has as many gold medals as us

1775 all over again.

[MuggsyB]

That cannot happen.  But it's early.

We haven't gotten to track and field yet.

[jutaw22mu]

This you?

Yeah. What's your point?  I was willing to accept what the creator stated earlier.   Today, I was sent the article that I linked, which indicates that some performers (or a solitary performer) were under the impression that the bit was actually in reference to what sparked the outrage. I also basically said I don't care, so not sure why you do.

[MuggsyB]

We haven't gotten to track and field yet.

Correct.

Are we underperforming or is Rico just Ricoing?

[Uncle Rico]

Correct.

We're underperforming.

Shooting is on now. Americans have to be good at that, right?

We're excellent at quantity, but fall short on quality.

[MuggsyB]

We're underperforming.

We should dominate the track but perhaps we need to wake up.

Aim no matta with an AR.

My horse has long been dead, but I'm still beating it.

I wish some of these creepy bishops had gotten this mad over the assault of little boys.

Catholics have no right to be outraged.

They have pills for that

Emma Navarro ripped her Chinese opponent after losing, sounding like both a sore loser and an ugly American.

She said she didn't respect her opponent, Qinwen Zheng, but wouldn't explain why.

Targets aren't people, so no.
