Thoughts on the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics

[Yagoda]

Boring pandering propaganda to please woke Leninists who mock traditional values in their quest for power.

Easily, the highlight was Celine Dion. I've never really taken to her before but that performance was truly iconic.

Song of Edith  Piaf, who had an exceptional voice

listening Céline Dion, wow, I thought " she sings like Edit Piaf "

not many people can do it and "hymne à l'amour " is a fantastic love song

Now I wish I viewed it. I only saw this glimpse above the bar while I was eating my impossible burger with fried cheese curds. Is she half French and Japanese ?

You have good taste, and you have bad taste.

 

My opinion, concerning the world wide audience, not appropriate and bad taste. But thats my personal opinion! I accept others have a different view. 

 

I accept other views.  I just don't think that was the time or place for that kind of show.

Does rawdogging a porn star while your 3rd trophy wife is having another one of your spawn qualify as traditional values?

Could be half and half, but...

 

She is ALL Amazon!

From the Greek: Amazōn

 

(This is the Olympics, after all....)

Don't worry.

There is stuff for youse too.

Can I interest you in a felt painting?

 

 

 

 

Can I interest you in a Number 5?

 

Or, what about a 

 

Or, I have it.... A Kandinsky !!!

 

Each one of the above is a MASTERPIECE.

And, you don't need to have studied art to appreciate their magnificence.

I know beauty when I see it.

JS Bach, for example.

Beauty in both paintings and music is easy to spot.

 

You can keep your....

Felt.

Yep. Putting it where Mr. Happy belongs, man to woman, rich and powerful to hot and every man pays for poosy anyway. Banging that fat slut cost him $160K plus legal fees too. Its as old as history, Messalina to Nero, JFK, The Brothel at Cleveland Street, Profumo,  pooosy and power.

 

Traditional. They all do it. Wonder how many guys here are decent normal human beings and pay for it on top of it. Confess your sins.

 

But your response is just a troll anyway, which is consistent of the organized Leninist cadre on the internet.

Well, that and he wasn't doing it as the opening act of the Olympics with all the kids watching. 

 

Showering with your daughter, now that's family values!

Very unfortunately, the Number 5, copied above, is a very poor copy, and too blurry to do justice to this work of art.

Here is a better copy.

Also, concerning Number 5, nobody seems to know who the owner actually is.

Some guy in Mexico says he is not the owner.

But, the thing that bugs me most is that it is so difficult to find and view great masterpieces, these days.

The Internet is no longer free.

And we, as a global culture, no longer have access to our culture.

Instead, our culture is now under lock and key, and held hostage by a few super-rich psychopathic rat-bostards!

Thith ith Dithpicable!

 

 

This is not my favorite Pollock, by far; it's just the most expensive Pollock, so far.

(Also, it seems that this is actually, itself, just a copy done by Pollock, in order to replace the damaged original. Very weird, when you come to think about it.....)

This is my favorite Pollock: 

 

Zolatone "Grey Stone", shot the inside bed and firewall of my '53 F100 with it.

pushing boundaries, extremely creative, loved it.

 

There are no more boundaries to push.

[Jingthing]

I looked into this.

It had nothing to do with the last supper. It was a runway on a bridge representing the Parisian fashion industry and the people sitting were watching that not eating.

But I get it.

Reactionary anti LGBTQ bigots are so easily triggered.

This was indeed the highlight of the show, some 'bloke' with one of his bo!!ocks hanging out.

[zmisha]

I remember how Vladimir Putin invited people for his previous elections. In a short advertisement video an ordinary Russian man told to his wife that there is no sense to go to the elections and he went to sleep. After that the man woke up and saw a gay person in his dinning room. 
- Who is it? - he asked his wife
- This is a gay for foster care. Darling, you should remember that according to the new law every family should have a LGBT person for a temporary foster care.
It turned out that the man had a nightmare. He woke up and told his wife: “We will definitely go to the elections and vote for our future.”

I suppose the opening ceremony at the Olympics is a hidden advertisement before the elections.

your true acceptance character is shining through on this forum today. slinging names left and right.

That's how those guys roll unfortunately. They think they are being smart, balanced and 'correct' and be damned anyone else that has an opinion. It is narrow-minded and immature. The show should be respecting EVERYONE as well as a country such as France's rich culture and history. If you go all one sided (whichever way) and was over that, it just smacks agenda and pisses all over people. Organisers should be brought to book, but they won't be because they will scweam and scweam and scweam til they're sick!

They're looking to invent reasons to be offended and to attack sexual minorities.

What does this have to do with sexual minorities exposing them in such a light at the world stage? Most sexual minorities do not want such exposure, and whose right is it to decide who and what represents them. 

 

Bad taste on a show that was going to include everyone and what was supposed to be the greatest sports event for everybody.

 

Pushing this kind of culture on everybody, creates a stronger counter culture and opposite poles.

 

I usually see myself as liberal, but this have gone to far

 

[GammaGlobulin]

Since the age of 11, when I hit puberty, and when I began developing secondary sex characteristics, I have felt a passionate hatred for all things related to the World Games, ie The Olympics.

 

The Olympics always seemed so pointless to me, sort of like masturbation without reproduction.

 

This is why I had no idea, until I read this thread on TV, that there had even BEEN a Paris Olympics, much less an Opening Ceremony.

 

I could not care less, unless said World Games are held in China, just because I am sort of interested in the Politics of China.

 

If the Olympic Wrestlers in Paris slather themselves with Olive Oil, and slide around, all hot and sweaty, on the leather mats, then this is fine with me...

Just please do not tell me about it.

 

Anyone who truly cares about Sport, and Sporting Events, would not care a twit about the organized World Olympics.

 

I like to watch rowing.

But, I would never watch rowing events at the Olympics.

 

If I had my way, all nations would be banned from the Olympics, except for the ancient Grecians, and their urns filled with oils.

 

So I leave you with this parting thought:

 

 

So, I bid thee all.... 

 

Adieu, I say!

This is a Sign of Our Times.

First we had the tea party;

Then we had the carpetbaggers;

Next we had the tea baggers;

 

And now, we have this underwear slip?

 

This is why I rarely leave my home in Thailand.

Thailand is NOT like this, at least where I live.

I fit in here because all my neighbors are polite, and thoughtful of others.

We care about preserving our harmonious way of life.

 

Our "globalized" world is now losing all redeeming qualities, if it ever had any, which I sorely doubt.

 

Thankfully, unless I turn on my computer, the outside-, woebegone-world rarely intrudes upon our village.

Im a jew hater, Hamas and Putin apologists as well, just by stating some concerns and arguments for why maybe things escslating without praising their actions or ideologies.

 

Oh forgot a Trump hater
