Olympics
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
The opening ceremonies are usually over the top. I thought the Paris opening was pretty impressive.

It was very budget friendly and not too over the top. Very cool.
l expect an announcement from Ubisoft soon since the majority of the presentation focused on a faceless guy wearing assassin's clothing and doing AC stuff
A great opportunity to have a group of confused pervs mock a major world religion. I used to watch and like the Olympics. I do feel better about my personal chances at eternal salvation, comparatively, now.
A guys balls were literally hanging out of his dress. Maybe they should get post op pervs next time
Drag queens in the opening ceremony and drama queens on the radio. Uck.
Looks like you stirred them up again, Charles! You're uncanny at finding the latest thing people have been informed to hate. Well done.
Reaction so far: Soccer (still boring), Handball (WTF?), Canoeing (awesome!)
Seriously did Chandler and Joey make up handball last week?

Pure gold…conservative snowflakes melting all over the place!!!
once the evil empire the Soviet Union fell apart East Germany followed the Soviet Union demise the Olympics Weren’t the same that’s when I stopped watching it no one to hate or dislike
I must have missed the opening ceremony part where they mocked Islam. Or was Islam not mocked because even though the people who put this on are disgusting and disrespectful, they aren't stupid.
Very entertaining sport, but it's over in a heartbeat. 7 minute halves? These guys are built like brick shithouses, in phenomenal shape, but are huffing and puffing by the end of each half. As physically demanding as it gets.
The Pic is hours old so I'm sure scope has already tried to get in touch...Those nuts are looking for a home. Where is @scopeandtime ?
I thought the blue guy was the Greek god of wine & good times. Greece... the Olympics... you know.
I'm not sharp enough to remember his name.

Handball was a really big before school and recess activity when I went to jr. high @ mid 1960's.
Dionysus. (I didn't remember either) Having watched the opening ceremony live I didn't remember anything about the Last Supper - just a lot of people watching people walk down a cat walk. I was especially impressed by the model going down the rainy runway in toe shoes.
Here's the official account from NBC.
"But the official X account for the Olympic Games shared photos of the moment and referenced the Greek god Dionysus, not “The Last Supper.”
“The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings,” read a tweet captioning the photos."
Olympics opening ceremony tableau sparks outrage among Christian community
Some said the performance appeared to resemble the biblical scene portrayed in Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.”
