Stopped by with the kids for a minute and they were blasting some kind of rap music with the eff bombs every other word and talking about women like they were a personal toilet. Didn't want the kids around that environment.

That's kind of the point of Mardi Gras. Be as vulgar as possible so you get it all out of your system before the somber reflection of Lent season.

It never made sense to me. It's supposed to be catholic based yet they have wild parties and worship false Roman and mythical godss in the parades...God teaches temperance and moderation yet Mardi Gras seems to promote drunken debouchary and sexual immorality. It just never made sense to me.

It's all part of being Catholic. You do whatever the hell you want, then just go to confession and the slate is wiped clean

It's not like being Baptist or Jewish, where you must carry your guilt 24/7/365

You think Jesus is cool with worshipping other false gods like Bacchus and Toth and enymion?

he's dead so I doubt it bothers him

Because Baton Rouge doesn't have a clue as to how to celebrate Mardi Gras. Spanish Town is basically a hetero version of a gay pride parade. They make sure that all parades are done prior to Mardi Gras day, so that everyone can go back to work as if it's a normal weekday.
