00:31This is the Last Supper.
00:33This is everything holy about Christianity,
00:35and we say absolutely nothing about it and say,
00:37oh, you cannot even complain.
00:39What are we doing wrong by saying that this is disgusting?
00:41This is not art.
00:42What's very important to remember is that
00:44the European Union gave 100 million euros
00:46for France to do this Olympics.
00:48So they took your tax money,
