"Goodness, four hours watching that Olympic opening ceremony just flew by!" Umm Said, an elderly housewife from Kabul, told Western journalists.


"And they way they put drag acts into almost every scene and insulted the religion of billions of people was just so enlightened and diverse.


"I must admit that when I saw a naked, blue, fat man rise up from the table at the Prophet Isa's Last Supper and start singing, I thought I was having a fatal stroke and asked my husband to call the doctor and the imam.


"But he explained that all the queering and blasphemy involved were merely attempts by the organisers to make people all over the world feel totally comfortable and included in this Olympic experience. How thoughtful of them!


"Now that I am no longer terrified or offended by these Olympics ceremonies, I cannot wait for the closing one to come around so I can get to watch another four hours solid of gender-bending and mockery of people's beliefs.


"These displays are all so meaningful to people like me."

Paris 2024 treated the world to a spectacle of light, sound and mind-numbing boredom - with all the obligatory mime artists you could want. Not content with talking in French - everyone's worst second language - the Olympic hosts decided to showcase the million and one reasons why French art is so dull.


The torrential rain did alleviate some of the tension by soaking Olympic Officials and a bedraggled choir. While the highlight was seeing the competitors forced onto barges and hit by a water canon of excrement, from the River Seine.


The key to all French culture is to do it at a snail's pace, but with a face like a slapped arse. There seemed to be an awful lot of cosplay characters on skateboards and hula-hoopers in fetish underwear - but that is standard for any French day out. It was the glacial pace that did for may of the viewers, said one: 'I need a medal just for having watched it.'
