““It’s like, come on y’all –– it’s the Olympics! Stop! They’re not trying to do anything except talk about the history. They’re showing you the history,” Whoopi Goldberg began on Monday’s episode of the ABC talk show while discussing the backlash over the performance.”

I think fleas from this woman’s hair have crept into her brain.

I read that the depiction at the Olympics was of a Bacchanalian feast (not the Last Supper). That being the case, I wonder what “history” was being taught here? Bacchus was a Roman demi-god. As far as I know, the Romans did not perpetuate the Greek games but settled for public entertainment in the form of the gladiatorial contests. So if Whoopee thinks that the ancient games were waged over the dinner table, she is more stupid than I imagined.
