The best I've ever seen and I've watched most from 67 onward. First time the ceremony took place outside of a stadium. Celine Dion, WOW. I believe Paris just set a new standard.
Very, very true.The world is a different beast since the proliferation of social media.
I could see it earlier, but not any longer.Still can't see it picton.
I did not see any of this because I am "unplugged" from cable TV. However reading what Jade Emperor wrote about this situation going on in Paris is crazy.There has been a concerted effort by the religiously fervent social media warriors to encourage outraged pearl clutching about the drag queen last supper segment.
The response has been to take all the online footage down, instead of defending the segment as it was intended to portray the story of Dionysius. The organisers have even apologised for the misinterpretation felt by some.
People have every right to feel offended by something they perceive as being blasphemous to their religion, but the hateful comments are now starting to become elevated to a quite scary level.
There are people advocating violent acts against IOC officials, transgender people and hoping to incite riots in Paris.
