While I cannot claim to have conducted an exhaustive survey, my impression is that the Canadian media barely considered to be worthy of comment the element in the opening of the Paris Olympics last week in which the Last Supper of Jesus Christ prior to his arrest, unjust condemnation, tortured passage up the Via Dolorosa and crucifixion was contemptuously mocked in drag queen burlesque. There were the usual reflections of the contemporary media that it was an amusing and innocuous spoof but that it had attracted some criticism from Christian groups. It was implicit that objectors must be priggish and almost cultish antiquarians to take offence at such a spectacle. This is one of the clearest demonstrations in recent years of how our media and official authorities who react like wounded animals if there is the most trivial slight of any sectarian or ethnic minority, but anyone who objects to the mocking of one of the most famous moments in the history of the world and a central event in the premier religion of the world, the aggrieved party should be severely rebuked as hypersensitive, superstitious, and pompous.
