OT: Celebrities at the Olympics

[Bullldawg78]

For those still watching despite outrage of the opening ceremony, does anyone remember them having so much coverage of celebrities at the Olympics? Just seems constant this Olympics, shots of them in the stands, Snoop doing celebrity recaps on NBC? (Which was entertaining)

Watched for a couple hours and they just did the whip around once that I noticed.

Major sporting events have become celebrity events. Not sure of ticket cost but Super Bowl, Olympics, Wimbledon. All of this big time events are full of of them. Not meant for the common joe to attend

France is a relatively easy trip compared to a lot of places if you are a bazillionaire

I hate rap and can't name a Snoop song but his commercials are some of the very few I watch. I don't know why I like him but I do. Kinda like Shaq.

Snoop actually has some roots in Magnolia. Growing up in Mccomb, there would be an occasional weekend buzz that ‘Snoop is in town’.

I really liked him at these Olympics... at least I did the first hundred times I've seen him.

Flavor Flav is sponsoring the women’s water polo national team. He saw something on social media back early this year with the coach talking about how the players were working two jobs to make ends meet to play at the Olympics so he decided to sponsor the team. Pretty cool story.

Celebrities being in attendance has a whole lot to do with Paris. You'd see far fewer of them in Beijing.

I haven't watched the prime time show so I have not seen any of that. I have only watched event specific broadcasts so far.

This is how to avoid most of it. The US women's water polo reruns will have it still and possibly basketball.

Lolz. Don’t start.

I've been more amazed at how much peacock has been willing to throw behind the qweeeen! It's like every ad break.

As always, I'm very curious why Kentuckydawg got this reply and not Bulldawg78.

As always I guess you missed where I told Anon170 to not comment anymore about it in another thread. Stop cherry picking

I didn't see that one. You literally did what I described in this thread. Stop deflecting.

My only possibly political comment on the opening ceremony is that I watched nearly all of it at various points and the vast majority of it was entertaining and very well done. If you're offended by something, just 17ing ignore it. Baby, bathwater analogy fits.

Obviously your feelings are not safe from the Christian Facebookers though.

I knew half the lyrics to the Chronic album in grad school; they aren't something to sing in polite company. But Snoop reinvented himself or is just someone who is allowed to get away with it and he's an accepted celebrity now and is having fun in Paris. He seems to be a likable guy unlike the Snoop of 20 years ago who embraced a gangster image. I'm cool with it.

"Uneducated" my asss. That's the lame common lazy go to. Get back to your job at Starbucks

I'm pretty sure NBC is paying Snoop to promote the Olympics on social media.

He's definitely getting paid. He's all over the place in their coverage.

Snoop is having a great Olympics and I'm enjoying watching him. The celeb shots aren't anything more than you'd get at a big NFL game or something similar. I don't think it's been excessive in comparison to those type of events.

He is fun to watch at times, especially his commercials. It almost makes me forget about him partaking in a murder.

At this point what celeb hasn't? Seems pretty common these days for celebrities to be criminals

As Alabama basketball would say, wrong place, wrong time

Taylor swift hasn't.

If she did, there'd be a song about it.

Anybody here have money on Snoop crip walking the torch in the Olympics?

Please don't let truth stand in the way of some good old fashioned pearl clutching and outrage that defies reality.

Snoop has a vibe that appeals to multiple demographics.

And did you know that the Da Vinci Last Supper painting is the #4 most well known painting in the world? Did you also know that at 2.4B worldwide Christians, that it is the #1 religion in the world? Based on these facts, many people will see the Last Supper imagery when there is a central figure with a halo or halo hat, a table, and people on one side of the table, gathered and leaning like the Da Vinci mural. In this case, instead of the body and blood/wine of Jesus, they saw the Greek god of wine-making and debauchery in place of the bread/wine.

So what may not appear like blasphemy to you may absolutely look like blasphemy of the sacred to others. If you have no personal faith ties to what the Last Supper mural represents, then of course its just bitchy whining about nothing.

Now you can sound a little smarter about it all, instead of passing along the narrative of a Greek god of Olympics being the obvious and only thing that everyone in the world saw. Now you can be smarter.

Selective Outrage is selective

I must have missed the multi day ***** fit about all these
