The only time that I see a live police person is at stores or events that rent them. And if you think about it, doing a mashup of one of Christianity’s most sacred moments with a scene of Bacchanalian debauchery isn’t really any less gratuitously provocative, offensive, or inappropriate for a ceremony intended to promote the unifying power of sport, is it?

Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief.”
The producers continued by saying that Jolly is not the “first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art.
No artist would leave that detail to chance, not when veering so close to the biblical event at which Jesus instituted the Eucharist.

In Thursday’s New York Times there is a report of Denver’s traffic stops in 2022 being down 62% and road deaths up 21% since 2019. The gay activist movement and its elite allies are currently engaged in a war, not against ancient Greek myths, but against the one religion that still seeks to oppose and temper their activism.

I’ve come to think that the Denver Police Department has become a public Rent-a-Cop operation. Thomas Jolly claims that his intent was to promote “community tolerance,” but we have been at this long enough to know what that code word means.
