I am watching the Olympics on wretched NBC. The halfpipe, freestyle skiing and snowboard, and even biathlon are way interesting. Plus, fit Nordic babes are a turnon. Anyway, the ads are the virtue signaling shit. One in particular, from Comcast, is a real hoot. It features three "disabled" Olympians - one dude who lost his lower leg and is competing in the Paralympics, one dude who survived twenty rounds of chemo, and a black female skater whose complaint is she is surrounded by white people, I shit you not. The message - being black is like having cancer or being an amputee. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
Greek Philosophers. Diogenes was an original Cynic ("Dog-like"), meaning he scratched himself, walked around naked, crapped whenever the need was upon him, etc. in public, the original meaning of Cynic. Told Alexander the Great, when asked what he could do for such a famous philosopher, that "You can get out of my sunshine, I'm trying to take a sunbath here." Hence the naked bearded guy is Diogenes.
A student of ancient philosophy might find it funny but I still don't get why all the chicks are labeled with other ancient philosophers who were also men?

If you have to explain it, it's not funny.
