Q: how the hell did Snoop Dog become mainstream?

Looking back, probably the last Olympics I really gave a poop about was Barcelona 1992. And even that was because I had a summer job at an art museum selling six tickets a day, so I basically just watched the Games and MTV from a snazzy Bang & Olufsen intended for video art.I weep for the loss of youthful enthusiasm I had during 2012 London Olympics.
Probably when Martha Stewart went to jail was the genesis of the transformation. Shortly after Martha Stewart got out of jail and she and Snoop became friends and started appearing together.Q: how the hell did Snoop Dog become mainstream?
The opening ceremony was stupid. Definitely the worst i can ever remember watching. The dancers being on strike made what was already bad, worse. It felt like a bad movie where they try to shove 10 plots into 1 show with no flow.
I didn’t watch the opening ceremony, but I did see that they included a segment that was an homage to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine (among other things), which I thought was a cool way to meld the Greek aspect of the Olympics with the host country.
I also saw a bunch of Christians got offended because they thought it was relating to the Last Supper.
Yes. Not much room for debate when the progressive The Gnauriad acknowledges it for what it was.there definitely was drag last supper scene.
Im i personally don’t care about a mocking of the church, doing it at the Olympics is in poor taste. But even then that scene was just one of the many out of place scenes in this ceremony. France shouldn’t have a ceremony taking shots at people when they haven’t been able to back up their words in over 2 centuries.Yes.

We there definitely was drag last supper scene. Outside of that this weird mysterious character running around paris on buildings, the myriad other scenes involving that character, and the very rushed country introductions was poor. Nothing fit, nothing but the river flowed, and you could only ask yourself wtf am i watching.
I think it actually was quite nicery framed in that news piece. The opening ceremony mirrors the host country, and France kind of has made the revolution and provocation their thing. So it was very much a provocation for the sake of provocation.Im i personally don’t care about a mocking of the church, doing it at the Olympics is in poor taste.

See above. It's the goddamn French. Choosing to aim the religious provocation stunt specifically at the Christians has the benefit that it doesn't get the French cities lit up during the Olympics while still subtly reminding of that Charlie Hebdo thing.I believe according to the program, that drag Last Supper is the Dionysus homage I was referring to.
Because why the hell would there be a Last Supper part in the Olympics?

The US men's soccer team players their first game on the 24th, which I believe was the first day the games actually startedA little thing, but it made me curious. When Ariarn Titmus (nice!) just won the 400m freestyle I was surprised to see that she had small gold hoop earrings just peeking out from under her swim cap. Given that swim races are sometimes won by hundreds of a second, I was surprised she wouldn't eliminate anything that might contribute to drag, no matter how small. I'm guessing they shouldn't have been exposed at all and maybe the cap slipped a bit during the race? I'm kind of surprised elite swimmers don't shave their eyebrows, lol.
A lot of finals in different sports today which implies that competition must have started before the official opening of the games. Anyone know when they actually started?
ever notice a different religion doesn't get made fun of ever?Im i personally don’t care about a mocking of the church, doing it at the Olympics is in poor taste.

Lots of death involved if that happened. France wouldn’t ever with the issues currently in the countryever notice a different religion doesn't get made fun of ever?
uhhh what?ever notice a different religion doesn't get made fun of ever?
Or someone is accusing other people of not finding actual answers when it is them that isn’t.Again, it wasn't about Christianity. The program had it as the Feast of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, parties, etc. While I can see why some scenes may have been confused as The Last Supper, last time I checked, Jesus wasn't crowned with grapes and served on a silver platter. And I'm pretty sure he had 12 disciples, not 20+.

It's easier to get offended than to find out actual answers, I guess. Although I did get a laugh about the extremely religious folks believing this was a cannibalism ritual.

yes, that is result afterwards every time
