First it starts with a comedy video which turns into this weird creepy thing about kids running through the Paris sewers, encountering an alligator, then getting rowed out and into the Seine by a ghost and it cuts to reality and all the nations are going down the river on boats past a bunch of water jets because they’re not doing this in a stadium.

This looks awful and ridiculous. Compare this to the spectacle of London 2012.

Now they’re doing some weird old Hollywood movie musical style musical number with Lady Gaga and she’s on a staircase, which is… somewhere in Paris?

I am so fucking confused.

Edit: They just cut to Macron and he looks as confused as I am.

    Minions. MINIONS. Like from Despicable Me. I’m not really here, I took some sort of massive dose of shrooms accidentally, right?

      They finally had attention there. I thought they were going to do a Costeau reference there haha. Now Macron is doing his proud poker face during the Marseillaise (thinking revolution and anarchism is nice, but don’t bring down the state while I’m president, please)

      I only did shrooms once. Then I learned they are grown in cow shit and almost puked after that.

        They can be found in cow shit but they don’t have to be. Modern lab grown mushrooms are grown in sterilized growing medium.

          I have never heard of lab grown mushrooms…and probably a dumb question but are they legal since being lab grown?

            It fully depends on where you live. If psychedelic mushrooms are illegal where you live then lab grown ones probably are. Most of the time spores aren’t illegal to possess. Also did you know that a bag of uncle bens is a sterile bag of starches? Do with that information what you will.

        I don’t remember doing any shrooms when I got up this morning, but that might just be the shrooms.
