Per Super Talk:

A major Mississippi company is removing its advertisements from the 2024 Paris Olympics, following an unprecedented tableau reminiscent of “The Last Supper” during Friday’s opening ceremony.

C Spire, the state’s largest telecommunications company and the sixth largest wireless provider in the U.S., announced on social media that it would no longer be airing commercials during this year’s summer games.

“We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics,” the post reads.

C Spire’s decision to pull ads from the Olympics comes after fans around the globe were surprised, with some disgusted, by a portion of the opening ceremony, which staged drag queens in what many speculated to be a rendition of Leonardo da Vinci’s mural painting of Jesus Christ breaking bread with the Twelve Disciples.

Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the ceremony, has since defended the show amid backlash. He said during a Saturday press conference that his intention had not been “to be subversive, mock, or shock.”

Instead, Jolly vouched that he was trying to capture France’s diversity. France is widely considered one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the world.
