Who would have imagined that the 33rd Olympic games opening ceremony could be so incredibly spectacular?
Some might call the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics an unfettered freak-show, but to do so would reveal an uncultured philistine devoid of mental agility; For those of us with a refined aesthetic sense, there was so much to love about that evening’s spectacle; Undoubtedly the most impressive part of the evening was the performance of a lively troupe of transsexuals- whose number included an 8 year old child- cavorting on the Passerelle Debilly bridge; Nightmarish themes of death, blood, gore and violence created an ambience of unbridled decadence, which, though admittedly a little dark, was ultimately fun and family-friendly. The stupendously-long Satanic ritual featured, amongst other things, an effigy of Moloch- the god of child-sacrifice; Blood-coloured confetti spewing out of buildings; Singing disembodied heads; A faceless horse-rider atop an occult-themed robotic metal steed riding down the Seine- held aloft by an invisible submarine.
Not everything went exactly to plan however; The Olympic flag was raised upside-down; One performer couldn’t help getting caught on camera letting his balls hang out of his shorts, and event planners finally decided that swimming events in the Seine would have to be cancelled due to the fact that, despite their best efforts, Paris is still full of shit; The momentum of this exhilarating gore-fest/ orgy-climax was interrupted by intermittent television segments that were about as welcome as a Novena in a brothel- Politician types couldn’t resist the temptation to bore everyone to death with long drawn-out monologues- the contents of which no-one will ever recall. The speeches were almost as mind-numbingly inane as watching the various Olympic teams smile and wave furiously from their flotillas on the Seine- All whilst doing their best to ignore the hunger pangs induced by the four-hour wait during the unmerciful torrential downpour that was obviously sent by God to ruin Satan’s day out. Thankfully none of the performers on the night slipped off any greasy metal roofs or floating platforms, even though, come to think of it, this would have added to the overall effect.
Finally, after fighting off boredom-induced sleep from watching the torch-bearers jog around Parisien streets for what seemed like an eternity, television audiences were treated to what was the most spectacular image of the evening: A moat of fire held aloft by a spherical golden balloon seen through the central opening of l’Arc de Triomphe; and lit in such a dramatic macabre fashion as to induce a bone-chilling effect.
Aftermath
President Macron is being pilloried for using the Olympics as an excuse to elevate the memory of Simone de Beauvoir, the paedophile-rights campaigner (and paedophile) whose reputation as a second-wave feminist assures that her legacy will remain untouched. Organisers of the 2024 Games are suffering unmerciful attacks from an ungrateful public for kicking unaccompanied child asylum-seekers out of the city centre while Steven Van De Velde, a convicted child molester is allowed to compete for the Dutch volleyball team; The hard-working Olympic organisers are also having to deal with backlash from pearl-clutching Christians outraged at poor old Satan finally getting a chance to reveal himself in public. It seems that Christians haven’t yet read the memo: Satan is now cool.
