| Ryuu96 said: It's funny cause I was watching BBC at the time and literally as it happened, BBC was like "ah yes, this is The Feast of the Gods and this is the Greek God Dionysus" so I'm not sure if they were informed beforehand or they are just smarter than American media, meanwhile I look over at America and they're up in arms about how it's mocking Christianity, Lol. A lot of Europe isn't as religious as America is... |
The Canadian coverage from the CBC was terrible. They just fell silent during the whole drag queen part and quickly cut the feed away when Dionysus showed up. Long commercial break to cover the 'risky' content.
@Nostaldub That would have made it so much better to have that commentary instead of the garbage on CBC. I guess I should have watched it on the French Quebec station instead but my French is very rusty.
For example the menage-a-trois segment the broadcasters only comment was, "oh look at that, well ok". You could feel their ears burning lol. It actually added some entertainment value to hear how lost the commentators were lol.
"The republican garde (composed of professional military musicians) then made a show with a popular teenager pop star Aya Nakamura. She is popular in our "bad neighboorhoods so it mixed both the military and old school France with the more urban culture. I felt proud to see two world mixed and united. "
That was a very cool segment, looked so good on TV even without explanation. I rather enjoyed the burlesque sequence as well.
Never saw the end though as my cable provider is an idiot (only recorded the first 3 hours)
