Despite taking place just a few days ago, the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics has already faced immense backlash from the global media. Viewers from around the world have labeled it as the most disastrous in the history of the modern Olympics. Adding to the controversy, a controversial clip from the ceremony has mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Despite having 12.6 million followers on the official Olympic YouTube channel, netizens have recently noticed that the organizers have hidden the clip showcasing the key moments of the Paris 2024 opening ceremony. When attempting to access the link, viewers are greeted with a message stating: “This video is unavailable.”Surprisingly, the full versions of the opening ceremonies from London 2012, Rio 2016, Beijing 2022, and even Nagano 1998 are still easily accessible.
In addition, a number of sponsors have decided to pull their backing from the Paris 2024 Olympics due to controversial religious allusions made during the opening ceremony. C’Spire, a telecommunications company, expressed their disapproval stating, “We are appalled by the sacrilegious portrayal of the Last Supper in the Paris Olympic opening ceremony. Therefore, we will gradually be removing our advertisements from this Olympic event.”
Numerous companies, groups, and people across the globe are consistently denouncing the Paris 2024 Olympic Committee for transforming an eagerly awaited opening ceremony, watched by billions, into a complete “catastrophe.”
Understandably, the Olympic Committee was forced to remove the highlight clip due to a surge of worldwide outrage and condemnation, greatly affecting the event’s organizers.
The performance that has received the most criticism is that of drag queen artists, causing public outrage. It took place on a catwalk stage set up on a bridge, where a group of drag queen artists in extravagant outfits were seen lining up on a long table and participating in a feast, which sparked controversy.
The arrangement and posture of the drag queens in this image have sparked global controversy, with viewers noting its resemblance to Leonardo Da Vinci’s renowned “The Last Supper.”The painting, created in the late 15th century, is considered a masterpiece of human art and depicts the final meal of Jesus with his disciples before being betrayed by Judas. For centuries, this sacred image has been revered by Christians.
