Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

[flogger]

I was able to watch it today. Way different than past venues of contestants walking around the track field. They were on boats cruising up the Seine river. The silver horse running in the river was amazing.

I know it?s off subject but it was really impressive and I look forward to watching some of our best athletes kick some butt!

I agree, caught a little bit, very cool doing the boat parade in the river. I hope the protest/political bullshit is minimal. I?m old enough that I can remember pre ?68 games without politics getting involved and especially the tragedy of ?72 in Munich.

It was excellent. Very inspiring and well done overall. Lots of artistic elements for different types and tastes... the sexual allusion was trashy for my taste (Menage a trois, same sex, and drag queen stuff), but that was short lived. It was definitely a spectacle for the ages.

I’m not a big Celine Dion fan but, that ending song was one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

LOL If there was in fact intent to mimic the Last Supper, well then that deserves objection and ridicule, but I did not see it that way live... that meme is well done though.

It was a great show. Now watching the radical right melting down on some of the visuals is hilarious.

Yeah, little kids hanging out with drag queens and queers is always hilarious.

I caught a segment of it.

Started out with a series of very impressive outdoor presentations with pyrotechnics, props, opera singers, aerial acrobats, dancers... then kept switching to clips of a shy French girl reading a book in a library being pestered by apparently an African migrant and a transgender, who pressure her into fleeing the library, give chase, then lock her in an apartment for a threesome... followed by the word "EQUALITY" in huge letters on the screen.

How very odd that was the message they chose to present to the world via this 50 million dollar spectacle.

Holy crap-glad I missed the weird shit!
