Olympics Opening Ceremonies: Boring or Exciting?

The Paris ceremonies were okay, but I was really moved with Celine Dion's performance, knowing that she was unable to perform publicly for a long time. She did a wonderful job. I also liked the laser show on the Eiffel Tower.

People saying it was satanic just doesn't understand that people are different - and that not every one should cater to their snowflake sensitivities.

I liked the floating cauldron. That was new and fun. Celine Dion was great too.

@Lucia But you did accuse. Thanks for admitting.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@Lucia Looks like I was right.
Lucia · 36-40
@MrBrownstone They are apologizing because of how people interpret it - not based on intention. So no. You were not right.
You got an apology based on believing the worst of intentions.

Good job.

No idea, didn't watch them. :( The older I get the less thew Olympics interest me -- too many pro athletes, too many endless "sports" added.

@ChipmunkErnie I feel much the same way, but as an old track athlete, I do watch the track and field events.

Satanic ritual.

It was French.
They don't do much well.

@Nimbus I that so?
You don’t seem very intelligent
The ceremony was impressive

I think the Olympics has already been overshadowed.
Hot on the heels of a seemingly endless Euro '24 soccer tournament.

Plus the eternal 'pro athlete vs proper amateur' argument that gets worse the older you get it seems.

Time delay probably doesn't help many around the world either.

Weird! Crazy idea, I don't think it worked well. Can you imagine spending the money to sit in the stadium to watch it on TV?.

Like the laser show on the Eiffel Tower looked amazing and cool.
exexec · 61-69, C
@Wizardry It was really good!

not too bad but i preferred past olympics when the whole thing wasn't 'woke'.
GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M
Kinda boring but they had Gojira so that was really awesome

I heard it was satanic.
@Askeladd Yeah, some people think cross dressing is "satanic." Personally, I prefer cross dressing as practiced by the Church fathers, but that's just me!!

@Askeladd Oh, look, the right-winger can't respond to my counterexamples except with personal insults. Looks like you're conceding defeat in a most ungracious manner, LOL!!!

Impossible to do better
