    Why is there no live stream of the opening ceremony anywhere ? Very strange

    Men in beards dressed as females, scantily dressed, seductively dancing like they're in a drag show, mocking the Last Supper, naked blue thing singing weirdly followed up by the pale horse of death. Ya, great ceremony. Such unity!

    Lol, the woman reporting on this ceremony must be high or something. It's like she is out to make a point of opposing reality. Los Angeles can basically have the opening ceremony in a circus tent with no preparations and still outclass Paris.
