What's "made up" about it?

Exactly, so what's his point? Dumbest take I've seen on the internet in a while and we all know what that means...

Mardi gras is the emperor's new clothes. New orleanians talk so much about how wonderful it is, it makes people not want to be left out so they then talk about how wonderful it is.



In reality its one of the dumbest traditions and events the modern world has ever seen.

Evidence would suggest otherwise. You also don’t like Mardi Gras because of something very few people actually do.

Another miserable person on the OT. It's more about being with your family and community than catching trinkets you tard. But I'm sure you're not likeable so it's understandable to feel this way about Mardi Gras.

What about Christmas? Its such a silly holiday. Parents buy their kids expensive toys they only pay with once, but at least they get to take a picture for FB.

Its tradition jackass. If you don't like it? Then don't go. Stop being a bitch.

Come have a seat and let’s have a conversation about how my city does a two week celebration for a two minute horse race.

I can understand the criticism of carnival. I cannot understand being glad its "over". Especially if you don't participate. Outside of a road or business closure, I can't see how it possibly effects your life as a non-participant which is why I assume you're just a miserable person because you are opposed to how others enjoy themselves.

You're not alone.

Mardi Gras is low IQ entertainment.

I'd rank it solidly between Cow Tipping and Mud Racing.

It's popularity in the south is self-evident.

Way to insult millions.

Nice try. But no one that circle jerks over mardis gras is a Catholic or take their faith serious.

Might be a made up holiday, but I can accept that for the sights...

If you don’t go to any parades you’re only affected by seeing king cakes in grocery stores and people in purple/gold/green apparel. THE HORROR!
