- Paris 2024 organisers have apologised to Catholics and Christian groups angered by a kitsch tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony that parodied Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting.

The segment, which resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before his crucifixion, featured drag queens and a singer made up as the Greek god of wine, Dionysus. This drew dismay from the Catholic church and the religious right in US.
The creative director of the opening ceremony, Thomas Jolly, said: 'I did not intend to be subversive or to mock or shock … In France we can believe or not believe, in France we have a lot of rights and I wanted to convey those values throughout the ceremony.'

It's olympics, not a pride parade. They all should resign from their post.
Wrong, hate much?
Cry about it😁
I am having problems relating the two. It was an active fashion runway not a table, there was no food, there was a DJ with a mixer on the runway, there were way more than 13 people, none of the outfits were like the Last Supper, what am I missing? It's coming across as a way to spread hate to the LGBT+ community.
Exactly 💯
Hate what,???? I don't care about religion but that sucks no matter what period @@IamNeighborlee
How is this an apology? The director had zero regrets
Why would he? Freedom of expression.
@@JopJio because the title says "apologise". That's the point, it doesn't match the content
@@JopJiothis was the worst opening ceremony ever
True
@@JopJio a mockery of a religion isn’t freedom of expression
It’s a disgrace
That's not an apology, that's a "we succeeded and we will do it again"
Ikr? ugh
Exactly. Enjoy the future where people arent persecuted and hated.
No apology is needed. You can relax now and untwist your knickers.
Wow great comment! Spot on 👌
👆🏼This! Just watch, they always do it again. They can’t help it.😂
Where is their apology??all i see is one 'guy' who is smiling and one woman who dont know what to say....
woman said she is really sorry.
The lady was said "If people have taken any offense we are of course really sorry." but that guy didn't said sorry or apology at all "my will is simply to say that we are this great us that last night it was Republican ideas it was ideas of inclusion it was ideas of benevolence of generosity ideas of solidarity in short uh what I believe we desperate need in France we have the night love others as we want with whenever we want in France we have the right to believe or not to believe in France we have the right we have a lot of rights that's it and it was the idea of to transmit these value throughout the ceremony". And also Olympics flag was turn upside down and flying on the sky of Paris for how many days?
They are not apologizing; they are clearly defending what they did.
Indeed, pathetic...
but there was nothing wrong done people get so offended nowadays
"If anyone was offended, we are sorry" - That is a classic example of a non-apology.
Great
Apparently I’m at fault for being offended.
"sorry you feel that way" type of nonapology
How were they supposed to apologize?
不然要怎麼說，你指導一下
Basically, you demand tolerance, respect, and inclusion by being intolerant, disrespectful, and divisive. Got it.
Great point!
Welcome the the modern leftist mindset

@@tammyjo6056 When has any religion demonstrated tolerance?
When someone says, IF this offended you, then we apologise.
That is not a genuine apology
But it seems like a very French "apology" - not that it should be called an apology at all.
They don't need to apologize for people not understanding what they were seeing was not what they thought they were seeing.
So how should they have apologized?
Why should they apologize to people who dont have a problem with it tho…
@@Nyshellm you don't know what an apology is?
Calling it 'unintentional' is offensive to the intelligence of ANY living being.
it was meant to be the feast of dionysus , which it looks a lot more like and makes a lot more sense.

Am part french but glad I was never born there an my family left that place before I was ever conceived.
It was the Feast of Dionysus!
They did not say they apologize for the Last Supper parody; on the contrary, they said they succeeded with the artwork. The only thing they regret is that not everyone is enthusiastic about it.
And rightly so.
Freedom of speech and expression. Europe is not Christian but secular. If you dont like it, feel free to go to the vatican😂😂😂
@JopJio freedom of speech, as long as it does not invade other people's right. So there
@@JopJio enjoy freedom of speech until they cancel you when the moral police (the left) don’t enjoy what you have to say! It doesn’t go both ways. The opening ceremony was a hate crime against the west and moral historical values. Not needed at a sporting event!
@@JopJio there's definitely a difference between freedom of speech and freedom of mockery

Saying, "If anyone was offended . . . " is *NOT* an apology.
AMEN TO THAT
It’s an obvious bait and switch. The first scene is clearly the last super. One of the performers confirmed it. The title card is also called The Last Super. The second scene they mix it with the greek painting just to gaslight and cover it up
Huh
Half of the world is offended, ofc she knows that, just poops on it
Are you going to cry? Seriously, do we need to grab you a tissue?
Since when has someone's sexuality had anything to do with anything??? The Olympics is about sport and the excellence of those individuals who have trained so hard to get there.
Yes. and it is absolutely not about special groups attention. In fact everything that could alienate a country, religion etc, ate the last an Olympic stage should do! The whole goal with Olympics is to forget all differences and just focus on something everyone can be included in! This could not be worse!
Sexuality has nothing to do, of course. That's the reason when a football player comes out of the closet is all around the world news.
@@7elegrama That still has nothing to do with him as a person or his skill. Whatever they are trying to achieve is actually having the opposite effect because the representation is always so demonic.
@lac8494, then keep it to yourself and don't show to the world,insensitive!
@@jaimemorales4340 That also applies to the Paris Olympic Organisers or any organisers for that matter, "keep your views to yourself and don't show it to the world", operative word being "insensitive"!

Imagine the outrage if they did a parody of LGBTQ pride...
Right 😂
They will have a "peaceful" protest for sure 😂
That's impossible. They are a parody of men and women already
@@janniagonzalez5459 Exactly what i was thinking. You can't do a parody of what's a parody already
That already is a parody of itself.
Wouldn't a better opening ceremony showcase France's culture and heritage rather than a drag show, or am I crazy?
Edit: I guess I am crazy, but I already knew that, lol. Maybe ignorant too, but that's for the world to judge, and me to ignore.
Marie Antoinette's severed head sang. ALSO tasteless.
That’s the thing they don’t wanna celebrate culture anywhere they’re trying to erase it.
The Olympics started out in Greece although I agree the reenactment of dionysius supper is nice
That is france's culture no?
@@candicenelson9312france is in a bad way isnt it

Yup, that is correct. There is nothing wrong with what they did. It was a tribute, not a mockery. Your hate of the LGBT is what makes you perceive it as an attack on your faith, and that is 100% YOUR problem

There are already 530 treatment plants all around Paris. There is a last giant reservoir for rainwater to be in service in some months to clean the rainwater before to reject it into the river Seine. It brings E Coli because used water + Rain water are mixed and it's too much water to clean at the same time when it 's too rainy. Otherwise the river Seine is no more polluted than others westerners rivers

In the shadowed recesses of our world, there thrives the Eternal French, a vile harbinger of desolation, etched from the very essence of repugnance. This abominable entity, a grotesque mirage of life, roams the realms of creativity and beauty with malice in its heart, a relentless storm of destruction. Born from the ashes of desecration, it is the antithesis of grace, an embodiment of corruption, seeking only to degrade the splendors Frogland can never possess.

Funny thing is they took years for planning this mockery 😂
she seems to find it mildly funny
Apologise for what?.
@@Redzwan Dude are you serious? Showing mockery of a religious thing ain't serious huh?
@@akashsnair2358 Religions are a bunch of fairytales. No need to be serious about fairytales.
@@akashsnair2358 Just a bunch of fairytales. No need to be serious.
This is not an apology.
Why should they apologize? I thought Americans were tired of the so called wokenss where you can't make jokes or anything anymore and yet here you are upset at this? Very sensitive of you USA!
Americans aren't the only people disgusted Devin, seems you're the overly sensitive one focusing upon only Americans...can you project any harder?
@@joebutta7539 who else in the world is upset? I mean, who else gets upset by this? Every year it is the same thing with those absurd Americans who always are online getting mad at that Super bowl half time show no matter who performs there
@@vidmasterK1 Much of Europe, Canada, Central & South America people agree it was purposely mocking people Faith...which is a typical move and unsurprising of that certain group
@@joebutta7539 what was being mocked? Because they have already stated beforehand it was homage to the Greek mythology
Makes sense why the French surrendered so easily to Germany compared to the British. Zero respects to Pepe le peu’s.
Are you kidding me? This isn't an apology. This is a slap in the face. What kind of leadership is this? Whoever is in charge needs to go.
“We’re sorry you feel that way 🤷♀️🤷♂️” is all I heard
Yea she lost all credibility from the get go.
People are not responsible for you getting offended. Thought maybe you learned that in kindergarten 😂
@@natedoge23 Maybe you don’t get it.. mocking religion = disrespect. Do you understand now?
Mocking religion = allowed in France since 1905 . It wasn't even about christianism but if you feel offended by it we still don't care
She is true. It is in france so think french!
worst opening ceremony followed by worst apology 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup!
Cancelling my trip to France, bruh what happen over there
Oh no... they really need the money of some ignorants to pay for the next ceremony. Don't cancel!
@@7elegrama Are you that ignorant? 30,000,000 foreign visitors to Paris every year. Tourism is already down because of the migrant gangs; tourism is further DOWN, not up, for the Olympics. 600,000 tickets UNSOLD. One person upset is not a big deal; millions of people upset are.
She's a liar ...and liars end up in the fire!
Not in France. She'll probably get a promotion.
I hope not as a Christian we should not wish that on anyone - love your enemies remember
is this the new inquisition ???🤑🤑🤑
This is clearly a justification for their actions.
A justification is not an apology.
Gold medal for "The Worst Olympic Opening" and another gold medal for "The Worst Apology Ever"
Yes😂😂😂😂
AMEN TO THAT
Paris opening was the biggest joke ever.
Please define ‘apology’.
Couse this certainly doesn’t look like one to me.
This was a disgusting act for EVERYONE! The olympics is a platform for unity and respect for all races and cultures, and this was anything but that. It was a drag queen mockery and had no place on the olympic platform. This was a complete embarrassment and total disrespect to the athletes as well as all of the countries and Christian community. SHAME ON FRANCE!!!
I'm French and like most of my compatriots I didn't enjoy at all the shameful parts of the show. Please understand that they want you to believe this is the way French people are, however it is NOT true.
And shame on the Olympics which itself must be out lawed
@@clemorchard523 Thank you so much for letting me know this. We only know what we see and I do believe they try to push a certain narrative. Sorry for the judgement..
100%
this isnt a french thing. the ppl of france did not vote on this. its the olympic committee and organizers.
Saying SORRY is not enough compared to what you had shown,displayed to the whole world. What a shame you bring to your own organization.
Drama drama drama😂
That is not an apology. Unacceptable.
This is like a sibling apology after your parents told you to go say you're sorry. They aren't sorry.
Neither they should be sorry about it.
Bravo❤yessss I agree 💯
THEY SHOULDNT. But that's the alt-right world.
No worries. Paris Olympics already ranks among the worst organized Olympics ever.
They will blame Putin for it. Next month.
Nah bro! Paris Olympics wins the gold on that count!
And the cheapest.
@@judeuzonwanne8516😂😂😂😂😂😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
... they didnt apologize they just lied. One of the actual queens even posted that it was the last supper
I’m not even religious. I found this disgusting. One guy even had a “wardrobe malfunction” and one of his baIls was out.
😂😅😂😅
😂😂😂
Imagine the kids watching this and seeing it
@@Nicolekss What a weird thing to imagine
@@HydraulicJack The whole thing was just trash.
SO HORRIBLE! This is THE WORST Opening Ceremony in the history of Olympics! So disgusting, disgraceful and shameful.
😆😆😆 I love Christian tears.
I GUESS THE IOC THINKS THIS WAS FUN AS WELL
Hardly an apology
This is the greek pantheon not the Last Supper, why should they apologize?
Paris Olympics is a joke at this point
It's disgusting they allow this to be performed at the olympics
someone should be arrested for this insult,this is painful and disgusting, as a Christian I am deeply offended by the way these sick minds are being promoted, this olympiad for me is over before it even begins
Arrested for an insult? There’s that “Christian tolerance” y’all love to talk about huh?
Yes, someone should be arrested for having a child there to witness this.
@@miemie3308 is it against French law to have a child there? Or, is it against your imaginary Christian law?
@@Underratedmen it's against the law to expose yourself. It's indecent exposure.
@@Underratedmen Yes, arrested, just like the many of you people who support this kind of thing want people to be arrested for accidentally misgendering someone, or disagreeing with your narrative. You are the real intolerant ones
You have to resign ... this is disgraceful act
And return all the income they made from this - let the committee take that money and donate it to Christian charities around the world.
No need. Freedom of expression.
The worst opening olympics in history🤢🤮
It’s a crazy world we live in …. No morals. no standard no values. … just craziness.
Look at the end of every civilization and you will find this
@@Numbers1877 поэтому этих "цивилизаций" нет больше, ибо каждая империя, страна которая творила Соддом и Гоморру погибала и исчезала
Agree
“As in the days of Noah”
How is making fun of an ridiculously immoral fairy tale a sign of a crazy world with no moral
