I think it was actually great on so many levels. Original, spectacular and pissing all the rabid bigots off. You have to love France for that fuck you attitude.

Not just Americans having a meltdown

It’s so ridiculous people get pissed over this. We are talking about Paris. They had royalty that were playing with sexuality and gender since the 1700s. When did we get so f*cking prude??

I agree - I think they did something truly great. It was great fun, completely harmless, showcased France and its people, and pissed off a lot of people I don’t care for in the process. And it gave a lot of genuine talents a moment in the spotlight, without ever getting dull or overly traditional.

I can’t read the article beyond the headline, but that’s already hilarious.
