The opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics on Friday featured a parody of The Last Supper with an obese woman wearing an aureole as Jesus surrounded by drag queens as the Apostles, a decapitated head representing Marie Antoinette of the French Revolution, and drag queens dancing around children.

It seems glorifying drag blasphemy and the horrors of the French Revolution were key moments of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics.

I think I’ll let other journalists report on the games, this year. pic.twitter.com/eJGAfGsbaa

We are absolutely disgusted to see these drag queens and half-naked gender cultists dance around little kids at the Olympics for the entire world to watch.

This agenda isn't just an American issue. It's global. And if this doesn't horrify you, then you aren't paying attention. pic.twitter.com/N6aHjmHzAi

WHY is a child amongst scantily clad transvestites?

WHY are there ALMOST ALWAYS children involved or exposed to this? pic.twitter.com/dBzMXlaUHW

The artistic director of the Paris Olympics is Thomas Jolly, who stated, “Above all, I want this ceremony to include everyone. We must all celebrate this diversity.” He also said, “I was overwhelmed at first. I wondered how I could create a show where everyone can feel represented as part of this great union. This responsibility was ambitious, complex, but magnificent for an artist.”

He added, “When we watch ‘Emily in Paris’ or ‘Amélie Poulain,’ we know it’s not quite the real Paris. We’re going to play with all those cliches, but we’re also going to challenge them. Paris is also a vibrant youth. Different cultures rubbing shoulders in the streets. I’ll be fired if I tell you anything. All I can tell you is that it will be very meaningful for the artists that will perform.”

“Jolly expressed his intent before the ceremony to ‘play with’ but also ‘challenge’ French cliché, and in the most vibrant, exciting celebration of French identity in the ceremony so far, they did a full musical, metal–opera–Cameron Mackintosh mash-up tribute to … the guillotine!” Vulture reported.

“Jolly’s liberation of the ceremony conveyed more about his own outsize ambitions than his nation’s identity,” The Washington Post opined.

“More than 3 billion people worldwide tuned in to watch the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which were held in 2021 due to Covid-19 complications) across linear TV and digital platforms. Olympic broadcast partners’ digital platforms saw 28 billion video views, a 139% increase compared to the Rio 2016 Games,” Forbes noted.
