Hi Liz, were you just as upset by past visual jokes, such as in M.A.S.H, the Simpsons, the Sopranos, etc, when the painting genuinely was being made fun of?
If not, perhaps consider if the recently weaponised 'Christianity' of many US right-wingers may have made you (and others) ready to see an insult when none was intended, so deliberately smearing an event of friendly global cooperation.
But we all owe it to each other to use as much critical thinking as possible in these complicated times.

Thank you for #JoyofLife recommendation. Enjoyed up to maybe ep 18 of first series, then got *hooked* and am binging three eps at a time now. Such a sweet balance between humour, intrigue and sorrow.
