C Spire Removes Ads From Paris Olympics Over 'Offensive' Drag Show

Telecommunications company objects to 'imitation' of Last Supper by drag performers

Critics, supporters weigh in on company's decision

C Spire, a Mississippi-based telecommunications company, has withdrawn its advertising from the Paris Olympics after taking offense to a scene featuring drag queens imitating the Last Supper during a performance at the Paris Opera.

In a statement, C Spire said it found the performance to be "offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith." The company also said it was "disappointed" that the Paris Olympics Organizing Committee had allowed the performance to take place.

The performance, which was part of a larger drag show, was met with mixed reactions. Some attendees found it to be a humorous and creative interpretation of the Last Supper, while others were offended by the use of religious imagery in a secular context.

C Spire's decision to pull its advertising from the Olympics has been met with both praise and criticism. Some people have praised the company for taking a stand against what they see as offensive content, while others have criticized the company for being overly sensitive.

The incident has sparked a larger debate about the role of religion in public life. Some people believe that religious symbols should not be used in secular contexts, while others believe that freedom of expression should be protected, even when it offends some people.

It remains to be seen whether C Spire's decision will have any impact on the Paris Olympics. The Organizing Committee has not yet commented on the incident.
