The Paris Olympics opening ceremony for the 33rd Olympic Games on Friday turned France’s capital into a colossal amphitheatre, and the iconic river Seine served as a track for the athletes’ parade. The ceremony began with the six-kilometre-long ‘Parade of Nations’ during which athletes from 205 countries and one refugee team sailed down the Seine on boats despite heavy rain. Several artistes, including American pop superstar Lady Gaga, performed at the event. However, some of the acts at the ceremony, such as – the recreation of Jesus Christ’s ‘The Last Soup’, the beheading of Mary Antoinette, and Philippe Katerine’s depiction of Dionosys, the God of Wine, sparked a massive controversy on social media, with Netizens calling the ceremony “disrespectful” and “absolute garbage”.

  1. Guess France and the whole western front wanted something to overshadow the Genocide happening in Gaza. So why not do something dumb like this to get everyone talking about it.

  2. 11 criminal cases were filed against a guy who imitated and disrespected Jesus in the Philippines. The guy is on bail. Two million pesos. We love and respect Jesus in our country.

  3. Can you imagine…Paris Olympics Drag Race…Ru Paul streaking ahead closely followed by Jenner but Baga Chipz is closing in on the inside because he/them/she/no idea/ realised the concessions stand was now open…would love to see that! Run….for your life and don’t F**k it up!

  4. Horrible 👅
    Paris… once the City of Light now the City of Darkness 😞
    What a waste for humanity 👎
    So sad 😢

  5. There seems to be a misunderstanding here. They depicted an ancient Greek “Feast of the Gods”. This predates Christianity by a thousand years. Read up on European history please.

  6. You people need to evolve. This just in, not everyone in the world is christian, and that's ok. But to lose your shit over a "PERFORMANCE" really shows how ignorant and unsophisticated people are. I am gay, and gay people are here as drag queens are, as people of color are. So sorry that you live in a straight, white, christian reality, but that's not true reality. That's a bubble. This ceremony burst your bubble. Boo hoo for you.

  7. I will not be watching the Olympics this year. They have ruined it for everyone, especially the athletes. I feel sorry for them.

  8. The Frogs didn’t have the balls to make fun of Islam or Muhammad because they knew they wouldn’t get the same violent backlash. They attacked Christians instead.

  9. They did the exact same in Far cry 5 (They used the same paint in one of their ads but with the main antagonist), but only my father complained about it.
