Celebrity olympics Russell Brand
Russell Brand spotted ‘Jesus’ in the Olympics opening ceremony and this is surely the only response you need
Russell Brand wasn’t the only person to be confused by a particular moment in the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, but he was the most irritating.
It was this depiction of the Greek God Dionysus which lots of people mistook for a parody of The Last Supper.
The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings. #Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony pic.twitter.com/FBlQNNUmvV

And when we say lots of people, we mean people like Piers Morgan …
Btw, what the f*ck was all this about? A drag queen mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympics? Would they have mocked any other religion like this? Appalling decision. pic.twitter.com/50uREKJEJd

… and, with a grim sense of inevitability, Russell Brand.

And we mention Brand because, well, he did ask for your comments, and these people were only too happy to oblige.

But surely no-one said it better than the estimable Mike Scott, lead singer of the Waterboys.
And lo, I beheld a strange apparition, a man part sanctimonious youth-group leader, part gorblimey bullshitter. And he doth also confuse The Feast Of Dionysus with The Last Supper. And verily he turneth his confusion into a half-hearted conspiracy exposition, as is his sad wont. https://t.co/J19dRdSS3m
