The uproar over the “Last Supper” tableau at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony proves that in the age of social media, a good scandal never goes un-manufactured.

Viral photos, cropped to show only 13 actors (‘Jesus’ included), sparked outrage and accusations of sacrilege. However, a wider view reveals a bustling scene with 17 actors (plus ‘Jesus’). Whatever happened to the 12 Apostles we’ve been taught in Catholic school?

Were the viral photos intentionally cropped to ignite controversy? After all, nothing boosts engagement like a juicy scandal.

Is this a classic case of “much ado about nothing,” fueled by the modern penchant for outrage?

The only real crime here is that the actors had to pretend to enjoy a cold buffet for hours, while the world argued over who got left out of the frame.
