What? No mimes? I thought the French liked mimes.
Every performance is a Benneton ad.
Men in femenine garb, are present in most of the various performances.
Commentators on NBC, almost across the board, speak (gush, actually) at a high-school or middle-school level in terms of maturity. It's really insulting. But then again, it's Paris and NBC.
The Boats symbolize how the West is being Invaded
God rained on their Satanic parade.

The Olympics? What’s that?
It was a MESS!!!
It was a hodgepodge of outdoor songs, strange dancers, gay/trans (I turned off after the 2 gay guys and bi chick went into the apartment to have sausage sex), and combining sounds and places that just didn’t fit.
And the “story” of the torch being carried by kids and then some parkour fool (”parkour” is French for “Gravity will have the final say”) didn’t hang together as a “story” at all.
It was not a ceremony, just a rambling drunk tale that led nowhere.
What? No mimes? I thought the French liked mimes.
Remember the good old days in the 60’s when ABC and Jim McKay used to send short feeds after the late night news? And the procession was just so simple. Teams with flags, no fags in drag.
God has a sense of humor!
“Men in femenine garb”
Made it unwatchable for me......and if you didn’t know better, judging by the NBC crew covering the opening you’d think blacks are the majority in this country and Whites are the minority......only two white people I saw was Payton Manning and Kelly Clarkson and that was it.
Well, this makes me resolve to not bother to watch any of the Olympics twice as hard.
I couldn’t be less indifferent. Seriously, who cares? Does anyone watch?
I vaguely knew the Olympics were happening and then forgot about it again. I only knew about it because there was a story that they were cracking down on all the public gay sex that goes on in Olympic village because even the leftists were tired of all the rampant sodomy.
At least the wind cooperated to allow the athletes on boats to get a lungful of atomized bacteria and filth from the river fountains.
Climate change
so, Froggies, how’s that ecogreen olymics working out for ya’ll? ... you know, the “we’re just gonna use all of our old shite instead of building new and having all the swimming events in the filthy Seine river instead of building sanitary swimming pools” ...
“Performances from Lady Gaga and approximately 3,000 dancers, acrobats and actors are hard to hear over the sound of rain”
well, at least the sound of rain won’t affect the army of mimes ...
Quel désordre !
A masked torch bearer runs atop the Musee d’Orsay ??
Athletes of the Refugee Olympics ??
lol what a complete waste of time
It’s a shame we were just there and it could have been beautiful.
Watching it now...
I trained for the Olympics for a decade...
I attended the Olympics on four occasions...
T%his is the most constipated, boring, anti-climactic Olympic ceremony i’ve ever scene...only made worse by the NBC hosts telling everyone how great it is...
I want to see more of this so the masses are overwhelmed by the full blown fruit display the freaks want all to see. Us pointing out how epically ridiculous it is doesn’t seem to work so let the sheeple eventually judge for themselves.
Drag rendition of the Last Supper to thumb a finger in the eyes of Christians and possibly Muslims since they respect Jesus as a prophet.
