People are REALLY committed to finding genitals everywhere, aren’t they?
I wrote about the (va)geode cake that took the internet by storm just a few days ago…
NOW the Twitter pervs are freaking over last night’s Olympic torch lighting.
(Sorry about the weird video. Just fast forward through the intro.)
They think it looks like a penis.
Gonna be honest… not something I would have thought of. But these people seem pretty adamant!
According to Daily Mail:
The highlight of the Opening Ceremony of any Olympics is the moment the torch is lit, marking the official start of the games.
The lighting ceremony is often the pinnacle of a meticulously planned event with which the host nations hope to be written into the history books.
And the lighting of the torch at the 2018 Winter Games was definitely one to remember, but probably not for the reasons South Korea had hoped.
The extendable entrapment which rose from an icicle-clad mound, and carried the Olympic flame to the large cauldron, bore an uncanny likeness to a human phallus.
The flame was lit by South Korea’s Olympic heroine Kim Yu-Na, who enthralled the crowds in Vancouver where she won Olympic figure skating gold in 2010.
She was handed the torch at the top of an ice chute and lit the entrapment which extended up at an angle towards and then sent flames shooting from its end, into the cauldron, as the Games were declared officially open.
Social media users were quick to point out the similarities with the male genitalia, with Twitter users branding it ‘phallic’.
Is there something wrong with me that I’M JUST NOT SEEING IT?!
Or… is there something wrong with them?
The Olympic fire penis lives up to the hype, y’all https://t.co/gc19t6jpYc
