missed it live but sadly I did see some of the trans shit for a few minutes until I turned it off .... nothing screams elite athlete like a dude with a beard in a dress

Gold in metal bands with pyrotechnics at the 2024 olympics.

Had to look it up. So far, this is the best video I've found of it (time-stamped to Gojira). Embeds aren't working apparently, so you'll have to watch it on youtube.
Stick around after to see a trippy performance of Vlad the Impaler's stiffs dancing.

Damn I need to look this up when I get home Monday. Probably the best part of the olympics me thinks

Anyone have a working video they can embed?
Can't find anything.
Looks like the corpos don't understand the point of the Olympics.
Or, maybe they do?

I just checked and I can only find ‘sound only’ videos. I saw it a day or two ago…and it was pretty awesome. But what an epic fail for them to pull the video. Haven’t they learned anything about this type of shit. Opportunity missed! And it’s too late now…truly missed.

Odd. Works for me both logged in and out of RT, as well as logged out on a mobile browser. Only tested on firefox though.

My take, don’t look for it. It’s gone and fuck them for pulling it. It ain’t all that, it’s just a video. Don’t let them win by looking for it. Just let it fade into obscurity. Like Prince.

Who pulled it though? I'd guess NBC, since it seems like they have exclusive broadcasting rights: https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/olympics-nbc-broadcast-rights-2032
If that's that case, watching through a source other than NBC is the opposite of "letting them win" assuming "them" is "NBC". If your vitriol extends to the Olympics themselves though for selling broadcasting rights to NBC in the first place, then I suppose "them" includes the Olympics as well and watching the events could be construed as letting them win, in a way.

That would be my guess. I haven’t been able to watch it since yesterday tho. Sometimes it starts, then bails. Probably because I have an iPotato.

It's a bad ass video though. I respect Gojira...Kind of like them a little but not big into them. I think the whole entire thing was great. Playing on the balconies like that with that particular song. Was just cool.

This one is so much better because it doesn't have the NBC knuckleheads commenting over it.

That was bad ass.
@7704A Thanks for digging that up. It is the ONLY thing I have watched of the opening ceremony so far.

Yeah, the commentary was annoying. Someone else I showed it to though thought it was Dethklok-like, with the news anchor's allegiance changing on air and whatnot. So at least there was some comedy value.
